Welcome aboard! Interesting combination of healthy dividend shares plus short term profit makers in your portfolio. Forgot to mention yesterday also in national grid over 5% div plus newspaper speculation of being bought out on 25%+ premium . http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/markets/article-2209110/MARKET-REPORT-Sparks-fly-National-Grid-amid-takeover-rumours.html

Rearranged my portfolio to dividend focussed yesterday,topped up to 5k in evraz and fortunately got out of Tesco with a 2.5% loss after dividend. First group,Aviva,Rsa,British land and Vodafone also held with small long term plays on Qfi and Chariot oil.

Reckon we will see 280 before Christmas as a conservative estimate. Good as a short term play and a long term high dividend paying investment. Extremely volatile,good for the wise but deadly for cheek wobblers! I tipped evraz 6.09am on the aviva board-fortunate timing :)

What do think?

On the corporate front, Halfords, the bicycles and car parts seller, issues an interim management statement covering the second quarter of its financial year, less than three months after the abrupt departure of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) David Wild. Peel Hunt expects the retailer will have received a boost from a Briton winning the Tour de France and from Britain's success on two-wheels in the Olympics. The consensus is for first half like-for-like retail sales to be down 5.7% year-on-year but Peel Hunt is a bit more pessimistic, going for a 6.0% decline. The broker reckons half-year profit before tax will £36.4m, slightly ahedd of the market consensus forecast of £35.8m. "Management plans to invest in marketing and staffing in order to drive H2 [second half] fitting revenues and gross margin. Halfords remains overspaced and in terms of both store numbers and footprint, with only 130 lease expiries over the next 5 years leaving limited flexibility," Peel Hunt opined. "The board remains committed to the interim DPS [dividend per share] of 8p, although we see full year DPS cuts likely," Peel Hunt said. Just a broker view then,I took the profit reinvested in first group second tranche after yesterday's buy.

Cashed in just now.,check hl news yesterday's date interim div the same full year likely to be cut will post link after school run.

Profit taken ,nice little earner :) all into rio tinto.

As far as I am aware basic iPads use wifi only and cannot be used with sims/ networks,just the more expensive models.

Sorry just spotted this I'm on Tesco network. Just iPhone/computer used at present.

Struggled to find anything I wanted to sell lol. Cashed in a few rio's . Will dividend be maintained or will it be a case of good some years and none in others?

Recovery to 1300 today is my guess

Whether to buy now or wait for a slightly lower price

60p is my get out price on bor.

Angel mining looks good

Yeah cashed in halfords 75% in more aviva 25% in ahg.

Yep your post inspired me to look into the oil companies. Was already in fogl but now in about six only 1-1.5% in each. Most at rock bottom prices,looking at 5 year graphs I reckon doubling or tripling investment within 2-5 years. Sound oil graph has the most promise it's hit 3p+ every year for the past five,not saying it will hit this year but plenty of peaks.

Yep you got me started on something lol,invested small amounts in xel,SOU,bor,lse. Combined with fogl,sclp,centamin and emg makes up 15% of portfolio.
