Subscribers to DIY-Investors.com will recall that, on 31st December 2010, we picked two portfolios, each of £10,000 for 2011. One had 10 sharepicks (£1,000 invested in each share) and the second was more concentrated - having 5 sharepicks (£2,000 invested in each share).
Performance to 31st May 2011 (5 months), as follows:
10 SHAREPICKS - Overall Gain: +15.52% (portfolio value: £11,550.61)
5 SHAREPICKS - Overall Gain: +61.23% (portfolio value: £16,124.43)
The same two portfolios, actively managed by Mick (using the techniques contained in his book "Picking Winning Shares") since March 2011, returned the following results to date:
10 SHAREPICKS - Overall Gain: +28.41% (portfolio value: £12,839.12)
5 SHAREPICKS - Overall Gain: +56.41% (portfolio value: £15,642.19)
As a comparison, the all-share index closed at 3118.86 this afternoon, a gain of 56.06 points (1.83%) above the level at the start of the year (3062.80).
As you can see, all portfolios have significantly outperformed the all share index!

Real Good Food (54.5p) - Breakout?
Real Good Food Group (AIM: RGD), one of our sharepicks for 2011, looks as if it is on the move again!
Following a lateral breakout from the minor downtrend of the last month or so, a buy signal seems to be indicated by the price action (see graph) and also confirmed by the Stochastic and ADX indicators.
The AGM is due on 2nd June - do you think there is more good news to come then?

Will Iofina be a summer sizzler?
You could be forgiven if you haven't heard of Iofina (AIM: IOF), as it has been keeping it's head down - building its business of iodine and natural gas production. It closed today at 31.75p, giving a MCAP of £35.6m.
Please invest 5 minutes to look at this video and let me know what you think of the prospects for Iofina.
If you missed the link, within my videocast, to the presentation (produced by Noble Investments) - made by Iofina's CEO (Lance Baller), you can use this link. You will need 30minutes to watch the complete presentation but it is very worthwhile if you are considering investing in this Company.
Usual warnings ... DYOR etc.

Coastal Energy (£4.135) - A Thai Beauty?
Coastal Energy Company (AIM: CEO, TSX: CEN), closed up 38.5p (+10.3%) at £4.135 today, valuing the Company at £452.8m. This followed the announcement of successful drilling results at the Company's 100% owned Bua Ban North B field (offshore Thailand).
The 2 year shareprice action is shown below:
As you can see, since the reversal (6th - 8th February 2011), CEO has been in an intermediate downtrend. However, the news today and the resulting rise in shareprice indicates a break in that downtrend (see below):
Looking at the technical analysis, you will see that the OBV kinked up and that the stochastic indicator also broke up through the resistance line (marking the lower highs). The ADX +DI line also broke through the -DI line (although the fast [8day] ADX is at 24, whereas I normally like to see it above 25). The probability is that this marks the start of a new uptrend.
It looks as though the TA is in tune with the fundamentals on this stock, making it a buy! What do you think?
Do please let us know your views. Mick.
