The SIPP Portfolio going into 2020

SIPP Portfolio Update 16th December 2019

It has been a long time since I posted my last blog on Pensionbuilder.
The market fell off a cliff in October 2018, and the state of the portfolio was too bad for me to write about, it was a storm I had to weather alone.
When I wrote my last blog, the SIPP had a value of £158,613 and I had shaped it to what I thought was a recovery made.
Those companies that I sold off were:-
British Aerospace (BA.) - the SP of this company is now still lower than when I sold my holding at 588 on 12th October 2018. 
Genus (GNS) - I sold this company as 2425 on 2nd October 2018, and the SP is now at 3234 (from a year-low of 2122), so while it was a good decision to sell perhaps I should have bought back in when the SP had recovered from the bottom. However, for a company with a value of over £2bn revenue is under £500m and profit before tax is under £10m.
Safecharge Group (SCH) - sold at 285 on the 12th October 2018, is a company that I should have held onto, as it was bought-out in a successful bid in May 2020.
Other holdings sold during the year:-
FDM Group (FDM)
GVC Holdings (GVC)
