Did not look at acc yesterday , payout is more then available to invest so maybe lucky timing .

Looks like I made 42% in cash terms , investment still in of yesterday 2053 against 2913 paid out .

Took a sale profit 14/11/2019 , leaving just 66% of investment in .

So only 16 month tie up of funds.
