RSIC Mechanical Portfolio Update
February 2006
A strong rise this month, up 6.4% whilst the All Share rose by 1.5%.
The main movers & shakers were Hunting (+13%), Charter (+13%), McAlpine (+6%), Dart (-5%) and Wyndeham Press (-6%).
Hunting, Wagon, Charter, McAlpine & Metnor Group all set new highs since purchase during the month.
Hyder Consulting and Hunting are past their anniversary dates and will be sold when their trailing stop losses are breached. These currently stand at 270.25p and 327.29p.
Wagon reaches its anniversary date this month and will be sold. It is currently showing a profit of nearly 17% over the year, including an unpaid dividend. By FTSE has risen by 15%.
Wagon’s sale will again leave us with two vacant slots in the Value side of the portfolio. And once again there are no suitable replacement candidates. Using the hybrid set of growth filters with value rankings throws up Interior Services Group which is already a fundamental holding. We need to decide how to handle this (cf Dave’s recent email on the strategy document).
