So far so good.

As I type oil and gas are again up well over 3% and RDSB is up another 3.4% at 1769.

Gas also up 4.5%. Looking forward to seeing how far RDSB and BP will rise tomorrow.

A blue day for RDSB and closed 3% up. A V bottom, a retest of the low or do we resume the decline? No idea!!! But OPEC+ are said to be on the verge of cutting oil output by 1 million bpd and the oil price is now up well over 4% as I type this.

Foxy, I disagree. In this day and age people not going out shopping will satisfy their need for instant gratification by shopping online.

Hello all.
I bought my first tranche of these last week. Nice dividend on offer so a nice addition to my income portfolio.

" No one can predict what's going to happen "

Precisely. That's why it makes sense to buy in tranches. Putting 50K or 100K into a single stock in one go might well cause a few sleepless nights if you don't catch the bottom. And if you do (I have, occasionally) it might at best be partly good judgement but it'll also be down to a healthy does of good luck. Just don't convince yourself you're the best thing since sliced bread because if you do it's as good as guaranteed that your next trade will be a howler.

It's been one hell of a week. Have a good weekend one and all. Next week might well be just as entertaining.

Dammit - looks like your laptop has infected my laptop. Everything's gone red and my screen is full of minus symbols.

So much for the long term support! Oh well.

I added STOB to my watchlist when, as I seem to recall, it was around 150 and set the 80p target price after casting an eye over a chart. Little did I know the dividend would be cut and it would eventually break below 80p. How times change. Still, I really do think this will come good in the long run - Southend airport should go from strength to strength - it's already in operation (unlike Heathrow Runway 3) and growing (notwithstanding short term flight cancellations from Corona!) So I'm now onboard for the ride.

Good luck to all of us.

Well with the increase in dividend at the current SP of 431 PFG offers a dividend yield of ~5.8%. So it gets a Buy from me.

TRIG is my largest renewable holding. I have also owned BSIF for several years. Ditto JLEN, and a few days ago I bought NESF and FSFL as they had dropped back and were offering a good yield. I also bought GRID (energy storage) recently. UKW has been on my watchlist for a long time but never seems to pull back enough for me to buy in.

With my latest buys renewables now account for just over 10% of my portfolio. I've also just looked up the sum total of my RDSB and BP holdings and coincidentally they also work out to a smidgen over ~10%. Although they were substantially more prior to the recent oil and gas price falls and media panic about the latest virus.

For clarity, when referring to % of portfolio, above, I'm referring to % of invested portfolio as I still have a large amount of cash not yet invested, which would bring the above percentages down.

With the drop to 80p STOB is now sitting on long term support. I've taken the opportunity to jump in with a cautious first tranche of 2,000 shares a few minutes ago.

Having given it the kiss of death I suggest anyone considering buying now waits until the SP halves ;-)

Unusual for me to buy something with no dividend but there's always room for a dabble with the odd growth story - Southend - which I think has great, great potential. ...In a few months the latest virus will be forgotten and Greta will have discovered boys :-)

BBOX is sat on long term support at 136 so I took the opportunity to add a tranche of BBOX to my portfolio this morning.

Another iPad on wheels. Admittedly the Badger looks better than Tesla's Cybertruck. And the combination of large-ish battery bank with 300 mile range coupled with a hydrogen fuel cell that provides another 300 miles - 600 mile total range - has potential to be a winner. Looks like Shell is on the case: https://www.shell.co.uk/make-the-future/cleaner-mobility/the-great-travel-hack/season-two/lower-carbon-fuels.html?gclsrc=aw.ds#hydrogen?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=textad&utm_campaign=Corporate_UK_MaketheFuture__Generic_Hydrogen_GSN_nov-mar_2020

" The Board proposes a final dividend of 16.0p per share (2018: 10.0p), up 60.0% on 2018.
Total dividend per share of 25.0p per share (2018: 10.0p), up 150% on 2018, and representing dividend cover of 1.9 times (2018 (restated): 4.9 times). "

Well if that in itself doesn't lift the share price nothing will.

Results out 26th March. Earnings and NAV stated to be in line with expectations.
Dividend up 2.5%.
That'll do nicely.

Hello Sid! (only three years too late)

Another first tranche purchase for me today. Added a few BRLA to the income portfolio. Not expecting fireworks but steady dividends will do nicely.

Anyone have a view on UKML ?

I added a few of these to my income portfolio earlier today as a first tranche. The yield on offer is too good to pass by.

Inevitably once enough people have bought battery or hydrogen EVs the government will slap a tax on them. If they don't, the loss of tax receipts on petrol & diesel sales will have to be made up elsewhere. But that point is a long way off. ...The only thing certain in life is taxes and the other thing. Tax seems preferable.

I recall I had to complete an online questionaire before being allowed to buy them. Think it was AJ Bell, or was it HL(?) On a different computer to my portfolio spreadsheet so can't check at the moment. I recall IG also list GRID - as well as the above two platforms - so there's three which allow dealing in GRID. Out of interest which platform/broker are you using?

I looked at GORE but decided to buy GRID instead. They should both do well.
