I've also been away this last week and have therefore been blissfully ignorant of the continuing turmoil. On looking at my portfolio I've actually had a positive week for once in sterling terms and I seem to be about 25% down overall on my PM stock holdings having picked up some shares near the bottom. I'm definitely in an accumulation mode now as I think the worst is certainly behind us (although critically low on fire power and waiting for resupply...).
