JIC Weekend Update: We need to talk about Kevin
It was an eventful end to the first month of the year. Markets were dominated by significant shifts in the commodity space and a perceived major change in the U.S. monetary policy outlook. Market Overview The defining story of the week was the collapse in precious metals. Gold and silver, which had been on a relentless rally to start 2026, saw their largest one-day declines in decades. This was apparently sparked by the nomination of Kevin Warsh to succeed Jerome Powell as U

Serica Energy: Trading update
Serica Energy (SQZ.L AIM All-Share, Market Cap £776m, 198p, (5.0% of JIC Portfolio) www.serica-energy.com Trading and operational update. Full release HERE Conclusion: A disappointing 2025 due to production problems at Triton. It's good to see that so far in 2026, it has been producing near capacity. Without further production problems, it has the potential to increase output to 65,000 boepd. Experience would suggest this is unlikely, with ageing infrastructure prone to down

Holding sold in both Portfolios. Happy to let cash increase up towards 20%. Canaries in the coal mine?
I have sold Kraneshares China Internet (KWEB) from both Portfolios. In the JIC Portfolio, it is part of my plan to focus purely on individual stocks and leave funds to the Funds' Portfolio. In the Funds' Portfolio, I am focusing my China exposure on Fidelity China Special Situations. I am happy to increase cash in each portfolio. The start to the year has been terrific for those exposed to commodities and precious metals. Are there some canaries in the mine appearing? I think

AST Spacemobile: Contract award from the US Missile Defence Agency
So far, this has been a good investment, with the share price up 20%. The contract outline below is short of numbers, but I think it's probably a pretty big deal. With further satellite launches to come in the next few months, I think the news flow continues to be positive. With the share price at new highs, I expect further share price appreciation.

December 2025 Review
Background: Although US markets struggled to make headway in December, it did not derail what turned out to be a good year for equity markets, gold and industrial metals. A significant theme of 2025 was that those markets that started the year at the lowest price, as measured by PE ratios, gave the best returns over the year - the more expensive markets lagged. For all the talk of the Magnificent Seven, only two (Alphabet +65 per cent and Nvidia + 38.9 per cent) beat the 17.9
