Month-over-Month Deep Dive
Over the last 30 days the portfolio moved from about £17,023 to £18,466, up £1,443 (+8.47%). The chart below is last month.
How each experiment moved over that same last-30-days window:
The portfolio finished green, with the total at £18,466 (+£1,443 / +8.47% over the last 30 days). That is a new core high, clearing June’s £17,751, the previous peak. The gain was broad rather than a one-name spike: SpaceX led in pounds, with NVIDIA, Bitcoin, Ethereum and both pies also green, and Tesla positive on the largest base.
Tesla Cybercab and Semi: Cybercab public app rides started in limited Austin areas after the 3 September invite night (no wheel or pedals). The US car-safety agency opened a review of how Tesla self-certifies that week – a review, not a ban. On 24 September the Semi factory in Sparks, Nevada opened as Tesla’s high-volume Semi plant; on stage they talked about aiming for about 50,000 trucks a year and more than 3,000 jobs. The Roadster outdoor reveal slipped from 1 October to 15 October for weather. Tesla stayed green (+2.26%) on the largest growth base; weekly buys stayed at £60.
SpaceX Flight 14: On 28 September Starship Flight 14 reached orbit for the first time from Starbase, deployed 26 Starlink V3 satellites, then came down in the Pacific as planned. No catch attempt. SpaceX (+$317.90 / +10.40%) was the largest growth move in the month, ahead of Tesla on a much bigger base.
NVIDIA buyback: On 28 September NVIDIA’s board authorised an extra $150 billion of share buybacks, with $235 billion still authorised through the financial year 2028. The £10/week NVIDIA buys (+16.15%) sat through that capital-return news, not a new earnings print.
Bitcoin and Ethereum: On 15 September the US Senate failed cloture on the CLARITY Act (49–50; 60 needed), so the bill did not advance. Bitcoin and Ethereum still finished green over the last 30 days (+18.72% / +23.77%). The £10/week buys into both ran through that. No September month-total for exchange-traded fund flows here.
Space Pie: Iridium stockholders approved the Rocket Lab deal on 24 September (about 99.6% of votes cast). Terms unchanged; close is still aimed at mid-2027 – not closed. Space Pie (+52.54%) and Quantum Pie still look loud because the bases are small. Rocket Lab stays inside the pie only.
Plutus: In September I used 17 gift cards with a total value of £445 and saved £61.87. Most of the cards were discounted by 3%, and 3 or 4 were at 10%. On top of that I got 10% bonus credit. PLU value £1,172, with lifetime cashback at £240. More details are coming in a separate post this month.
Premium Bonds: September’s draw was the first at the 4.35% prize-fund rate and 21,000-to-1 odds (announced mid-August). The pot is £2,000 after the £25 monthly top-up; prizes on the board are still £100 lifetime. Prize-fund rate is not a personal guaranteed yield. Most of the month’s pound move is that top-up.
ETF Portfolio edged up on the £50/month habit. Outplayed total profit £4,476.01 (not in the portfolio total). Weekly habits unchanged: Tesla £60, SpaceX £40, NVIDIA / Bitcoin / Ethereum £10 each, Space Pie £8, Quantum Pie £5, ETF £50/mo, Premium Bonds £25/mo.
Roadmap & What’s Next
We’re sitting at 73.9% of the £25k breakout target with the portfolio at £18,466. Next focus remains the same weekly buys into the growth experiments and keeping the dashboard updated.
