Troublesome - Sorry my inner Delboy just escaped

TomE - Builders seem to have become the target du jour. Given how long Bankers were the target this could continue a while

From the article

"While freehold owners might seem exempt at first glance, they can still sign contracts which see them forking out annual maintenance fees for the upkeep of the wider, fledgling neighbourhood.

These "estate fees" emerge when a local council decides not to adopt the new area, leaving the builder - or more likely a third party management company - with responsibility for roads and green spaces.

Freeholders saddled with the charges say it's effectively a second tax on top of the one they already pay to local authorities.

They say it's doubly frustrating because the estate for which they pay a private company is nevertheless public space, which can be used by anybody."

TomE - That was for a freehold house.

The point of the article was that the council is not adopting some new developments, so private companies are taking over and charging for road and landscape maintenance.

Its a freehold house with the management fees of a leasehold

1.24% of the company?

Targetting 2%?

*sigh*

Guess i'll sit quietly with my few hundred thousand shares

OR

Crossrail was also tunneled at a considerably shallower depth under London.

SXX is much deeper under a national park.

You're not comparing apples to apples. You're not even comparing apples to oranges. You're comparing apples to hippos in top hats

What do we make of no trades at all this morning

mkwarriors - My reading of it is if the client takes the 4000t the cost is reduced by $125,000 that they've prepaid

I have to say its always nice to have a reminder that maybe i don't know as much about the stock market as i like to think.

Its even nicer when it happens to be a positive market move

16.95% up on HL?

Did not see that coming today

I never said we'd hit 20s.

I said people who bought in the 20s might think to cut their losses and bail if theres a rise

Lets just take a few deep breaths and calm down.

Yes there could be a huge rise on 28th, however its equally likely that a lot of people who bought in on the 20s will start taking their money out when their averages look better

This probably isn't helping

Yep know a couple of people who are happy taking £20 profit on a 3 grand trade

I'm with you about the dividend value.

That's why for me its all about getting a nice large number of shares at the moment. Managed to increase the size of my holding by 25% on tuesday morning after the RNS dropped, with the added bonus of a nice reduction in my average price.

More shares will give me a better dividend payout, and thats the important thing. The shareprice now, in 5 years or in 25 years is pretty much irrelevant, as a within 2-3 years of dividend i'll be on a free carry.

Thats the trouble with a share that declares dividend in USD. You never quite know what you'll get.

Granted with the volume of shares i currently hold its not a huge difference, but as my holding increase so does the size of the variability

As is the 2.4 mil.

The printed time of the trade is 9.33 and the trade before was for 16000 at 20.16.

A premium of 0.09p for 2.4 million is not unreasonable

Going down?

Pretty sure 20p is higher than 19.81p

And another 2.4 million at 9.33

Casapinos - I do give the same amount of credence to all of the posts, in that i don't trust any of them.

Taking anyone's word on here is the same as taking trading advice from an unsolicited phone call, or someone you don't know at the football
