This was the bit i noted the most.

"investors who reinvest dividends MAY also benifit should a stock or fund decline in value TEMPORARILY"

Just how long is 'temporarily'?
It could be for a very very longtime, likely permament, while you hold the capital loss.
Just look at the favourite slave trader for an example.
If you'd bought that in the 400's following dopey dungs advice, you certainly wont be having many sleep filled nights - even if it paid a divi.

Capital preservation is KING.

Of course, being brokers earning commission, it doesnt at all mean the 'advice/suggestions' in the article is/areintended to encourage more purchases of stocks, to keep their industries commisions rolling in. Nah, course not.

The reason electric cars havent 'taken off' is the Government havent announced what cost per mile they will be charging them to replace the fossil fuel taxes, that sure as eggs are eggs will be needed to keep the treasury going. Its that simple.
When they make such an announcment people can then make an informed choice as to the actual costs of being pretend 'green', but the delay in saying anything should tell you all you need to know.
In the meantime EV owners are making hay while the sun shines and enjoying the 'freebie' of paying nothing except the leccy costs, awaiting judgement day..

troajan,
it will be eventually for sure, but currently not worth starving to death or slitting your throat for. The whole price rise thing has shown the neccesity for cheap green renewables and, all things being normal, that would be going great guns - just nobody can afford them now with Puktin causin mayhem and inflation, as part of his warmongering leverage, eroding joe publics spare cash.

All about the current profits in the oillie world Troajan, huge amounts of income paying down debts will feed through to the sp eventually. Once that debt has all but gone, what will they be doing with the extra dosh?
Shame they are wasting so much on the 'green' elephant at the current time - the world seems to be giving that a swerve at the moment with all the other issues in the mix, maybe better to buy into that later than sooner.

"Unlike DT, I haven't got the luck to pick stocks that double in value soon after I purchase them, then again neither do the professionals; DT should apply for a job at Morgan Stanley, since he appears to stock pick better than 99% of fund managers at the top US banks."

You appear to be lowering yourself to the levels of dung and calling me a liar Fleccy?
Well unfortunately, for you at least, your wrong, so perhaps try not to lower yourself eh!

For your info, after i purchased Glen, it did indeed drop horrendously, so Morgan Stanley sacked me, however, it soon rocketed back to far higher levels, my examination of the stock completely vindicated after the market wobble.
No matter though, you stick with your favoured three - all of which currently owe you money and you remain stuck holding, despite the "im in it for divis retoric"
I bet you'd sell if they put a spurt on and you actually made a gain, unlikely though with your three picks as currently demonstrated.

As for telecoms, banging on repetedly about those being undervalued forever isnt/wont change the fact that the markets seem not to agree with you. Everybody else must be wrong, right?

And im pretty sure the average Joe is clever enough to work out that the Net is supported on Telecoms networks, you dont seem to think anybody else in the world understands this? What a stupid thing to say.

"You've been very lucky in timing your buys DT"

Nah, its called patience and decent research in the main, with a bit of luck thrown in. Covid a negative, and the war a 'positive' (obviuosly only from a financial view, not humanitarian one)

" I know what I'd do."

So do i. You'd never buy here because of whatever your hang up with this company is, but you are happy to continually tell others what to do.
Accordingly you have missed out on a winner - you could have bought and sold out yourself at €18. No divi, but one hell of a capital gain to move elsewhere to chase divis with.

"Today's SP bears no relevance to the company's real value. That's why it's a massive bargain. Be patient - good things come to those who wait."

£4.50 inbound again dung? . . . . . .
Massively underwater on your multiple rampy buys? . . . . . .

No agenda then?

"i don't understand why all retail shareholders don't invest in dividend stocks, it's a no brainer as far as I'm concerned"

Id sooner buy a stock that i think will rise, rather than bumble along or decline (BT, VOD, Lloy), such as Glen (others are availible), have the value double in a year or two. Sell half and get the initial stake back, and leave the gain as 'free runners', alternatively leave the lot in for more of confident of further rises..
All the while collecting divis on top.
Preservation of capital at its finest with no risk whatsoever as playing with 'house' money.
And if i wake up one morning in a mad mood and fancy a Ferrari, the cash is still 100% there to do it, without selling at a loss.

Also, dividend stocks unless paying at least inflation, are losing money, less than cash obviously, but losing non the less.

Im still with your camp Evi, keep those pinkies crossed.

For every prediction or analist being pro there is always the same number being anti. Its the same with every share, you just cant rely on any of their opinions, changes with the wind.

Makes the thread title very poetic then.
Bit black lumpy coaly type bits on the rocky road. Whats not to like (sorry Greta)

On the gas, and oil pipeline front, im surprised the Ukrainians havent sent a few small teams to the wider parts of scummy Russia and blown these up yet. Ukraine has been very vocal and patient about stopping exports of these supplies, am surprised they havent taken it into their own hands as it wouldnt be too difficult.

Probably wont anytime soon either Mono, but these 'holier than thou' regulatory types need a thump in the kisser really, damaging to Western businesses.
Akin to having Lester Piggot as a tax inspector :)

"My point is you are hardly some form of oracle"

More comedy gold from trading for losses.
Didnt hold all the way down from the 400's though like the company ramper did.

fira, yes mate Mikey performing well considering, its the others with negative headlines for a change. sitting on a decent gain still, but down from a very decent one, grrr.

See this is back into my "unachievable" range :)

Not as acurrate as your post May 2018 InsiderDeal. First rate call that was, excellent sir.

Had a Pennon produced booklet put through my door by royal mail the other day, they are very much on the environmental bandwagon in theory. It seems they support dozens and dozens of community initiatives, from waterbutt subsidies through dormice protection to tree planting and 100% electric fleet by 2030. Really bang on about it as its the current 'thing'.

Now having seen there ovweloaded operational vans, and knowing more than a little about the industry, there can surely be no way on earth any of the operational vehicles can ever be green. i.e electric. There is simply not a suitable vehicle on the market that can carry the equipment needed to excavate the streets that can in addition carry its batteries. So whilst a meter reader, with minimal equipment, could easily i just dont buy the argument for the suitability of operational vehicles of such a "plan".
Currently they would need to send two separate electric vans out, to do the job done now by one.
Imagine the costs of doubling those costs up. vehicle purchase, charging, driver training, logistics of taking all equipment when shared out etc etc. Bill payers wont stand for rises to cover this.
In the meantime, hardly any of their sites that you see when driving around the county have even the most basic of green credentials, such as solar panels, on their vast acerage of land.
No excuse whatsoever for that ommision, apart from hair brained schemes and overpaid but under competent top and middle level management.

"actions not words needed."

Absolutley right BGP, been far to many words and little actual cash producing action for far to long.
Company, whoever is in charge, just isnt believed anymore.
Can only cry wolf a few times before your ignored.

What i find odd about all these trials is that the 'offence' (normal business practice in most iffy countries) was committed in country A, by a business which is registered in country B.
Yet its country C that prosecutes and skims the fine and keeps it (called a bribe elsewhere), not A or B.
isnt that just as much a corrupt 'bribe' of sorts?

Billy, your certainly in it for that long time frame now to get your money back, like the ramper doug your pal, shame.
Unfortunately, so are other decent people who bought in based on the guff you and your kind chuntered on about on here for months.
Dividends, years and years away, if at all. Thats a pipe dream based on no facts whatsoever.

Just the way a capital gains growth invester like me likes it :)
Not being able to duck in and out taking gains suddenly because of delisting f'ing sucks though, grrrr.
Onwards and upwards Mikey

Metal
The "jam tomorrow howlers", of which i am one, have heard these statements so many times now over so years its very hard to believe a word of the oft promised progress. Been in rare supply in reality - hence why the sp is dire. . . . .and didnt move todays either.
