Thanks, volcano; thought there'd be loads. Is this where the "smart money" invests?
A long term investor would confirm, from my perusal of the price action over the last 20 years, that apart from stock market crashes, every day/week/month is a "new high" in this stock? : )
Can't believe I've had this on a watchlist for years and done nothing about it. Maybe I suffered from: "Ooh that can't rise any higher?" And failed to bag it at loads of 'cheap' occasions.
This stock appears to have been a better investment than any pension or star fund manager over that time period.
Going to invest here, but going to play silly buggers with cyclical charts for the best month etc., as it just doesn't appear to offer a cheap entrance outside of market crashes.
Yes this is one of my long term investments.

Anyone on this board who's bought in, above 8,000 ?
Conversely, any long-termers here, who've held say, from the early years after the turn of the millennium?
Yep, exceptional performance considering the general turmoil this year on the stock market.

London Stock Exchange Group beats on 1H income, hikes dividend
Fri, 31st Jul 2020 07:55ShareCast
(Sharecast News) - The operator of the London Stock Exchange hiked its interim dividend following a better-than-expected half for the group.
The London Stock Exchange Group's total income for the six months to 30 June jumped 8% year-on-year to £1.24bn (UBS: £1.2bn), with total revenues up 4% to £1.06bn.
Citing the group's "strong" financial position and confidence in its future prospects, the board announced a 16% hike in the interim dividend to 23.3p per share.
Sales from the group's FTSE Russell index business grew 5% to £330m with asset based revenues f;at despite lower levels of assets under management at exchange traded funds.
Post trade revenues meanwhile jumped 9% to £372m, driven by record levels of activity in CDSs, foreign exchange and cash equities.
Capital markets revenue did decline by 4% to £217m, but only because of the one-off benefit recorded a year ago, while on a like-for-like basis they were 12% higher.
All told, the company's profits before tax did dip from £363m one year ago to £362m, but on an adjusted basis, its earnings per share were 11% higher to 112.0p.
Net debt at period end was at 1.4 times pro-forma earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation.
