The fact remains that over the past year or so since I bought in at 72p these people have returned me about 12% and as my shares are in my ISA, that's tax free. Try and get that anywhere else.

You knew you should have stopped being a weed and bought some back in June didn't you? I don't scare easily and did just that but it's not too late.

It's no good working oneself up into a lather that will achieve zilch. We all knew months ago that there was an ill wind blowing, then was the time to get out or sit back and wait for the show to begin.

Hey Drift, No I didn't sell.My thinking was AV board must have decided that the takeover would eventually enhance their bottom line thus moving their SP upward, looks like the market is havng similar thoughts.

Not worth selling until DLG spot price gets to 3.18 unless you believe that Aviva will loose at least 15p off it's SP, I don't

Will someone please explain this talk of mergers. Also LSE seem to have got some of their numbers wrong - the yeild is more like 12% and not the figure shown on this page with the divi being 8.43 p.

Cannot understand the SP number vs the truly massive dividend yield. I might as well buy some more as they just announced another fat divi and the tax is only 8.75% as we all know, or do we?

I think I got it right (nervous). Sold my 16000 for a profit of 1611 and it would take more than 2 years to get the same from the current paltry divi rate of 3.8p. Yes I know, they might bung the divi up next year however I have other fish to fry.

Amazing, some people are actually selling Natwest.

My best ever result was around 350% from an AIM share a few years ago is NWG gong to beat it I wonder, currently 235% woohoo.

Yes, what a silly old Eccles (81) must have pressed the wrong buttons somewhere.

Petty day traders fiddling about meanwhile I have made 230% in 18 months. thats 19% per month on a £10k investment

How soon the fickle and batty market forgets the excellent report of the first quarter. Never mind that report will suddenly be remembered and up we go again. I am holding.

Bought for 3.18 just a month ago, didn't he do well.

£5 next week must buy another tranche asap

Interesting to see the number of folk using pricey platforms for their portfolios. Have they never heard of LSE and iWeb (no annual or monthly fees)

I doubt if the rise has peaked, more likely a bunch of day traders has sort of synchronised and decided to do their profit taking as happens every so often. Their is no rhyme or reason for this behaviour they just do it without thinking. An excellent example was what happened a few years ago during Boris Johnson's covid panicdemic. The SP of Lloyds dropped away to less than 30p and my son said why has that happened, no reason I announced just people behaving without thinking and he went off and bought two three tranches. As we all know he has more than doubled his money in just a few short years - more than most day traders ever achieve.

Yes no problem but LSE whom I have used for the last ten years are always quick off the mark.

Don't really care too much, try getting a return of this size anywhere else - no chance. It means you double your money in less that eight years and I have only done that on one other share in the past ten years by pure luck.

Yes but I bought my latest £5k worth at 2.15 during the panic sillies fortnight ago so still laughing.
