Yes Banbury I know they believed it due to the media and Boris's "science" team causing mass hysteria - one of my old friends still won't go out to the shops and has it all delivered, what a shame eh? No I was not very lucky, my Mrs (not jabbed) also had it for a few days but soon got over, same for my son. Have you still not noticed that there is hardly anything in the media anymore and even the Chinese have got so fed up with it that their nutty government has had to back off. It's a Corona virus, they have been about for thousands of years and often mutate as we all now know but rarely cause death unless you are weakened when you can get pneumonia (breathing problems) which my old Dad died of a few years ago.
Only if you believe it. Prof Whitty himself said over 96% of patients recovered. At 80 years of age I have had no jabs and got covid earlier this year which was quite tame and lasted just 5 days. Have you not noticed that all the panic has now ended and no more death reports?? It's the same with the vaccinations which do not work but they keep telling folk to have them - because someone is making loads of money!
With the ongoing shortage of housing I don't believe PSN profits are going to take much of a hit despite the "huge" drop in prices of 2% which has just been reported. They made 23% on sales in 2020 which was supposed to be a bad year because of Boris's panic over covid. The two prior years were around 28% and most businesses would give their right arms to achieve results like that. Thus I have just bought another tranch while they are cheap and looking forwrd to more handsome divs.
Of course it's not lively, one can now get a better yield from the interest rates some banks are offering so why would anyone buy Tesco shares?
Yeild this year has seen 12.4 p divs paid so yield should show as around 9% not the 1% shown on this page which was last year's figure.
Years ago one could get some worthwhile advice on Motley but not anymore. I just don't bother with them these days; just as bad as some of the "brokers" who can be observed dishing out BS regularly.
Oh no they don't. I was responsible for a large pension fund for many years and when I first took over I found that we had been paying a "professional adviser", a "broker" in fact a substantial annual fee to "advise" the trustees where to invest the £millions in the fund. After a couple of years I realised that his advice was failing even to beat the FTSE 100 index. I sacked him and moved the fund into a couple of L & G trackers. The trustees were soon much happier bunnies.
I get a bit fed up with greedy grizzlers wanting to avoid tax. Without tax we would have no armed forces to defend us, no NHS, no sports fields, no schools and no benefits for the old or disabled. The CGT is not exactly draconian and the divi tax is even less so why not pay up and look good as most people do not have enough wealth to obtain such extra prosperity.
When money gets tight but stuff still needs doing, folk tend to return to DIY. Wickes just needs to get more women walking in.
hics, What are you "afraid" of - your own imagination perhaps? The latest reported "slim" margin was a before tax profit of 12% of sales; many businesses would love to have that kind of margin and "rising interest rates" are great when you have over a billion cash in your balance sheet as does Barrat.
Hi Gwm Yield calcs depend on your particular definition and people vary in their "definitions". Personally I say how much have i received in calendar year to date and in the case of RIO it is £5.75 per share. Divide that by current SP of £51 near enough and you get 11.3%. But others instead use the the company's financial year which I don't rate because the number of people who buy their shares on the start date of the company's year must be very few.
