Showmethewonga, you been taken something mate! to think BP paying a special dividend, is just farcsicle .. lol

In 2018 Edinburgh IT has been put on the top five to invest in. http://www.hl.co.uk/news/articles/five-investment-trusts-for-2018?cid=halDM16491&bid=77144792&e_cti=4418456&e_ct=T&utm_source=AdobeCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Investment_EIxxx_five%20investment%20trusts%20for%202018_17.01.18&theSource=EO602&Override=1 Looking at the discount and where the sp has dropped to I’m not sure it’s worthy of a mention. I’d look at CTY or try MYI with a global presence.

I wouldn’t sell, wasting money on commmision. Buy the dips is more appropriate

Eh Daniela, what planet are you on mate. Governments are corrupt, they tell lies about near everything! Lol. Brexit et al.

LOve it your post JustChampers !!! Be good to see 20p maybe for next year then we will see what happens thereafter if effects from interest rates and stronger $ & €...

On the WTI crude futures, I remember the minister of Saudi Arabia was asked by one CNBC reporter where they see the oil prices. He mentioned quiet clearly that $65 a barrel was an area to watch.

Just found this on III board. http://www.mining.com/web/iron-ore-enters-bull-market-chinas-curbs-supercharge-steel/ I’m holding out for 4400-4500

Further, I have to remind you in 1998-2001 US stocks were priced around 80 times earnings, so P/E’s mean nothing in this environment. It’s about sentiment and VIX gauge.

In my opinion share buybacks do nothing for a share price, we all want growth and to make money don’t we.. BRWM looks a good play. It’s an investment trust with a large basket in miners RIO included. Pays 18p this year and it will grow over the years, trades at a discount to asset value too.

Growth is set to be overtaken by Astra https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-09/glaxo-shifts-to-boost-growth-with-astra-threatening-to-pass

I believe with the $ & € strengthening together against the £ we could see this adding a further 20% with earnings season starting this Friday with US banks.

Thanks Kernow. I hold 3950 in BT.

What I do hope to see is an upward trend in the EPS! Cant be having P/E over 70* with EPS under 20p ffy http://shares.telegraph.co.uk/fundamentals/?epic=GSK

Happy New Year all! I'm trying to make a move before the market makes one of those unexpected moves.. was looking at adding to my GSK holding of 650, with an additional �3700. What I would like to ask, is what is the market consensus about a possible dividend cut? My view is that I can see a dividend cut when we get a market correction, maybe of 10% year end, but pharmaceutical companies are core holdings of many funds & brokerage firms. so and cant see a sell-off with this much more. I also hold AZN, but tempted to maybe add to IMB or BATS instead of GSK for the risk to the dividend.

Interesting read on PM’s future, and where the best best tobacco stock could be https://finance.yahoo.com/news/best-tobacco-stocks-2017-130900598.html;_ylc=X1MDMTE5Nzc4NDE4NQRfZXgDMQRfeXJpZAMxazlvNXM5ZDQ1Yzh1BGcDZFhWcFpEeHVjejVpTVRFMVptVTFNUzFpWVdJekxUTTJabVV0WWpKaFl5MDJNVEZsT1RkaE1qUXhNbVoxZFdsa1BHNXpQa0pCVkZNdQ0KVEE9PQ0KBGxhbmcDZW4tR0IEb3JpZ19sYW5nA2VuLUdCBG9yaWdfcmVnaW9uA0dCBHBvcwMxBHJlZ2lvbgNHQgRzeW1ib2wDQkFUUy5M?.tsrc=applewf

Hey, thanks #trueblog, for spending time in breaking down eps a ddividend growth for RIO TINTO!! I have read similar somewhere else about dividend growth to end of 2018, then the dividend would slowly decrease due to continually rising $. It is assumed that Feds are aiming at 2 guaranteed, though there is possibility of 3 rate rises in USA. If so, the demise of the $ is not far away, thus this would dent future dividend rises. Atb and Merry Christmas to everyone.. The bull market looks to continue in my view till st least June for me. So I say...

Seems to be nothing will stop this stockmarket craze unless inflation is a problem. Then we have the Euro strength against the GBP in 2018, and possibly Liberty having a better line to catch Vodafone in stir up deal. That’s my prediction.. I loaded up with another 2243 this morning. Now have 11896

Even after GS jumped on BA. and said 680p back in August this has done nothing with the good news. I remember reading JPM had fair value at 580p. Im out today as well and using to top up Vodafone or buy BATS Atb

The Bitcoin phenomenon could be benefited by Utilities so analysts were talking about on CNBC tonight. Pretty obvious, as they will be making sure they have better infrastructure to cope with the demands of crypto currency trading 24-7!!!

STOP f***k this board with crap about nothing.. right
