E2V.L Share Price (E2V)

Ha ha - well, no harm done!

I had not realised E2V was actually being sold! I consider myself lucky because I have only lost about £15, the very low commission Selftrade charges on regular investments, and a very small loss on the shares themselves. I don't deserve to be so fortunate. I am strangely disappointed as I was looking forward to owning E2V shares again.

:-)) Courtier - You muppet!!

Are you not aware the company is being bought?

I have just added E2V my list of regular investments. This is probably bad timing but hopefully the drip-feed effect of regular monthly investments will iron out the peaks and troughs in the share price. The share price has gone from 140p to 272p in five years but recent bounces make this an uncertain judgement. The dividends have grown pretty steadily to about 2%. My main reason for buying in is that for many years I lived in Maldon, close to the Chelmsford Factory and knew many people working there. I also watched the company growing up as one of the original GEC factories was in Maldon. It will be five years before I know if this is a sound decision.
