A TIMELY reality check last week as the majority of our share tips suffered in a general stock-market downturn: three portfolios gave up a chunk of recent gains.
Much of the reversal occurred within hours of our boast last Sunday that the value of our portfolios was at a record high.
The one consolation was a return to growth for our flagship 2009 portfolio, which benefited from a rise in shares of industrial services group, Diploma, ahead of next month's results, and gains by cash-and-carry operator, Booker.
