Bornintheusa, you could never make Boris look predatory, he is too much of a goofy teddy bear who hasn�t quite managed to get to the hairdresser in the past year or so.
Hey Patexd, sorry to take so long to get back to you - but my capital is still there - small loss but dividends received to date exceed £9400.00 so this more than off sets the loss - lesson here is always go for stocks with good dividends. I am sure you will agree with this. This is still a good buy for those looking for a good income - beats a pension any day!!
Currently paying out a dividend of over 6% per annum not bad in my opionion - much better than you will get at most banks. Pays out four times per year - nice little earner.
I have invested here and while it does not seem to be giving out much growth at the moment the dividends are certainly work taking. Standard Life the parent company are a very stable outfit and one of the biggest employers in Edinburgh. This is a long term investment as far as growth is concerned but certainly a winner in terms of the dividend - go for it - I have and am looking to investment more cash when the price is right.
