Here is where Goldman Sachs recon where oil prices will trade over next couple of years: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/goldman-50-forecast-may-prove-230000102.html

Here's a piece on GS prediction on where oil prices will be heading over next couple of years: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/goldman-50-forecast-may-prove-230000102.html

Goldman Sachs has VODAFONE and other telecoms on there CONVICTION buy list. • Vodafone (NASDAQ:VOD) is up 0.4% on solid early volume as Goldman Sachs adds the telecom to its Conviction Buy List. • It joins sector fellows Orange (NYSE:ORAN) and Altice (OTCPK:ATCEY) there. • Those calls fly in the face of analysts' recent unease about European telecoms. • But in the case of Vodafone, "We highlight that the group continues to generate top-line growth despite regulatory and Indian headwinds," writes analyst Andrew Lee and team, who think investors should buy amid "peak uncertainty." • The company has "limited exposure to B2B pressures, and limited reliance on regulatory support," they add.

Thanks Liberal!! Sorry for posting my previous post..

But isn't Unilever trading at 24.5times earnings because it is leaps and bounds above competitors...

Tom78, you spot on saying She'll isn't a growth company, but it has growth in it to gain from. The earnings will be growing from the BG acquisition, and the sale of various assets will help its debt pile, but then again it will get smaller selling assets. £40. There are various ways to look at a high valuation... Invariably the higher more ludicrous numbers we here about are never reached... ATB. You could buy a commodity trust instead that trades in Shell and many other companies alike ( BRWM )

Looks like something will happen with SHIRE movement over next day or two!! Just seen a trade go through for GBP 34m.(BUY) 16:35:16. 4,693.00 744,068 34.919m But today at midday SHP & AZN were both down from the pharmaceutical sector 2.2% & 1.9% respectively.

Question of the dividend data on this site again http://www.hl.co.uk/news/articles/blackrock-world-mining-trust-the-recovery-story-of-2016 Kate Marshall | 27 February 2017 BlackRock World Mining Trust - the recovery story of 2016? Kate Marshall, Investment Analyst, reports on our view of BlackRock World Mining Trust following its recently released annual results for the year to 31 December 2016. NAV total return of 92.9% compared with 94% for the benchmark Share price total return of 100.6% Total annual dividend of 13.0p per share; down from 21.0p in 2015 Mining companies have focused on cutting costs and increasing productivity Dividends Last year the trust reported that a combination of lower commodity prices, and the likelihood of a number of companies to cut or cancel dividends, could lead to a decline in the trust’s income. A final dividend of 9.0p per share has been recommended for the year (to be paid on 12 May 2017 to shareholders on the trust’s register on 17 March 2017). This, together with the interim dividend of 4.00p per share, makes a total of 13.00p per share. This is a reduction from 21.0p per share in 2015. The managers expect the trust’s income to grow in 2017 as mining companies increase or reinstate dividend payments on the back of improved balance sheets and profitability, although there are no guarantees. http://www.hl.co.uk/shares/shares-search-results/b/blackrock-world-mining-ordinary-5p/dividends Full Year dividend is 13p not 18p, giving a yield 3.75 at close of play on 346p. explained in annual report below " The Directors are recommending the payment of a final dividend of 9.00p per share for the year ended 31 December 2016 (2015: 14.00p). This, together with the interim dividend of 4.00p per share (2015: 7.00p), makes a total of 13.00p per share (2015: 21.00p). The final payment will be made on 12 May 2017 to shareholders on the Company?s register on 17 March 2017, the ex-dividend date being 16 March 2017. We mentioned in the half yearly financial report that the Board would be increasing the frequency of dividend payments from twice to four times a year. It is intended that dividends will be announced in February, May, August and November and are expected to be paid no later than May, June, September and December in each relevant year. The Company will declare its first interim dividend in May 2017 to be paid no later than June 2017. It remains the Boards intention to seek to distribute substantially all of the income available. Income from ordinary dividends is expected to grow in 2017 as mining companies increase or reinstate dividend payments on the back of improved profitability and reduced balance sheet concerns. The Boards current target is to declare three dividends of at least 3.00p per share in the year to 31 December 2017 and to recommend a final dividend for approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in 2018.

Discount today widens and stands st 14.5%, and also see debt rises and cash lowers. http://tools.morningstar.co.uk/uk/cefreport/default.aspx?SecurityToken=E0GBR01OPI]2]0]FCGBR$$ALL

Looking at the last 2-3yrs, anyone can see that we are now in stockmarket bubble territory. Something similar to seen in 1929? Does Janet Yellen not see this, as she is setting up one eck of a stockmarket correction in time. The interest rate rise should've happened over a year ago, and not have people talk about having a possible 3-4 rate rises in USA. That said, when we have a correction maybe 5%, I hope I have some spare money to buy more Let's hope that the OBAMACARE replacement bill correction tomorrow, doesn't hurt the market much, as this is a buying opportunity.. A mark of respect to the 4 people killed today in London s terrorist attack.

hi Runner, I remember from the site a year of two ago. Did you buy here? I bought some here, ALAI, and this year bought HFEL. I believe it isn't as volatile as other funds is no one has been told of this. Plus is its listed in JER, so no stamp duty!!

Hey kula, You've done well on this trust!! Thanks for the previous tips on other trustsyou tipped last year!! ALAI, MRCH, SOI, BRWM and some others.

Hmmm? I'm more persuaded to buy DGE and forget about it for 10yrs, just like Iv done with Unilever...

I sold my Tesco stock at a loss and bought 1300 today. I see they have changed their weighting on RIO Tinto being too holding now. Discount to NAV is 13.5%, which I can see narrowing over coming weeks, hopefully.

On 13th March, MYI announced that they will be suing a final dividend of 16p up from 15p in 2015. This means full year payout is 47.5p.

Yes, stocks are expensive on current P/E's, but should come down going forward with growing economy and rising SP. I was still at school, but in 1999, stocks globally were trading at 44times earnings ( food for thought ). There are some great trusts still on discounts giving 5%+ yields out; BRWM, HFEL, MRCH, ALAI
