Highlights from my portfolio:

The best word to describe this week is: very frustrating! I ended down 0.2%, which was quite a result given what I was up against.

Avanti Communications Group Plc (LON:AVN) suddenly fell through 600 and hit 560. It was all very fast and thankfully I wasn't at my screen when it happened. I missed the bottom but was delighted to be able to pick up a few more on the way back up. This share has a habit of 'lurching' for no reason but of course one can never entirely discount the possibility of bad news that has yet to hit the market. There has been none so far and I'm holding firm for the satellite launch in November. The price is now almost back to 600, suggesting it was indeed just another 'stop forcing' market shake. Nasty. It also shows why you have to be very careful setting automatic stops on these sorts of stock.

So that's twice this week..DIA and now AVN.

Devro (LON:DVO) confirmed my sell yesterday was correct.

Bellzone Mining (LON:BZM) went down today, taking my paper profit it with it. Since it was a metals down day I have stuck with it.

Close Enhanced Comm Fund (LON:CED)2 went up quite strongly, not sure why but I'm not complaining.

Davis Service Group (LON:DVSG) continues upwards. A good defensive dividend stock. Nice.

Kryso Resources (LON:KYS) fell a little further and I bought a few back. I've now had time to ask a few questions about the BFS and I better understand it. The news flow will hopefully be more resource oz from the infill drilling, news the Chinese have raised the money and lastly approval by shareholders for whatever is proposed. A long way to go yet but how much downside can there be from here if there's no bad news?
