230000 in Leeds to see Grand Depart and lots of other events going off and they all have to park somewhere. Must be OK for TCSC car parks.

Always nice when it rises after you bought. Pity, my last top up was a tad early and is still slightly underwater but there is that nice divi. I doubt I will be out at 300 but there may be more opportunities around the corner. Mr Market seems to be getting quite jumpy and things have become a lot more volatile ........ which as it happens is quite good for TLPR

fat fingers in the last post "1180's" soz

Looks like its getting too hot for that fireguard and is now hitting those 1080's The news was classic W .... positive, negative more positive, negative with a final positive. Great way to bring out bad news. GLA

Last time it dropped to 1180s but things can always turn around again or reach lower lows. As much use as a chocolate fireguard I know

It was triple witching Friday.... Maybe a spell was cast on the sp!!!

Well I cant. Happy to take it but I can only think its because the suns out and a day on the beach is forecast

piers, maybe its to do with volumes or just that they agreed with you on it being oversold or with me and that large divi has become an attraction. The days not over yet though. There could be rumours going on that will come out in the wash later. Not sure if this is good news or bad. I was thinking that these were going to become a steal.

Anyone popping over to the AGM today?

I think is just the change in market sentiment, Mr Carney, Iraq almost forgotten Ukraine. The sell in June .... opps sorry May'ers etc. Not looked into how short this is. You are correct in that you can wait as long as you want, I think that is one of Buffets traits too. I wish you well with your buy. Are you really waiting for 45p? Maybe you need to get in before St. Leger Day!

Well the ish has disappeared. So I added some more today. That 7% plus divi is a big attraction. How long will I have to wait for ahha's 35p I wonder

Alistair Phillips-Davies, chief executive of energy group SSE, saw his pay and pension package increase by two-thirds to £2.7m last year, according to the company's annual report. http://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/jun/12/energy-group-sse-boss-pay-package-alistair-phillips-davies One can understand the feelings of those living in fuel poverty but I like to see pay that reflects the rewards given to the owners ie the shareholder. I look forward to my total return also increasing by 2/3rds over the next 12 months

or the froth coming off the top

A take over was also doing the rounds last year and the price was much lower. Maybe they were waiting for the ship to steady and or the regulatory review to complete. Anyway both are now done. I have been looking to add more on the dips but like their water levels is staying relatively high.

My post in jest was followed up as a main headline along the same lines on LSE front page just a couple of hours after. LSE dont get there headlines from there own bb do they? Hope not! Anyway its now looking like Mr Smith leaving is beginning to filter through into the SP which is now lower and more as I expected on the facts. Dont know how good the new guy will be. LSE do you want me to write some story so you have some thing for the page????

Another one in the eye for its customers, glad I've almost left ....... not long now though, he says with fingers crossed http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/markets/article-2646399/Hargreaves-Lansdown-hammered-charging-investors-vote.html

that was the price pre budget tax so that might be difficult. Not sure how much more give this has with the new funding via bonds. Not sure I would be happy with 170 "quickly" but I suppose it depends on how long is quickly, less than 3 months?

Well IWEB were quick with my BA shares. I do have 4 funds that should have paid out at the end of last month but dont know where the payments are. One is fund is now showing up in Interactive Investor but not the divi so questions have been raised with ii first. Cant say HL divi payments were noticeably late before so maybe they are spending the time trying to move my funds away and are too busy to sort your BA divi ...... Sorry Goldenshares!

Up 4.6% and little news out apart from possible change in the board. I thought Terry Smith leaving would have the opposite effect ........... unless there is something brewing. Can I start a take over rumour! Terry Smith to sell stake too XXXX and TLPR to be taken over by XXXX But wot will happen to my divis?

Great if it falls cos I would like to add more but they are too expensive for me. Although I said that before!!! The good news is the divi is up 6.5% .................. just in case its gets cheap enough
