I took a look at blt's annual report yesterday.Dividend promised to be kept and progressive great news for investors.Share price also rising faster than rio which led me to investigate whether better to switch or not.Blt statement "Importantly, we do not require the same level of investment to grow as in the past. Improved productivity can further stretch the capacity of our existing operations to increase volumes at very low cost. For example, in Western Australia Iron Ore we can increase the capacity of our system from 254 million tonnes today to 290 million tonnes over time with minimal investment, while making more than US$20 per tonne margin at today's prices" Current iron ore price $53 a tonne so maybe cost output from statement of $30 a tonne-will need to investigate further. Rio currently outputting 240 million tonnes but I think they have major cost advantages at only $15 a tonne.Lower dividend but maybe bigger profit margins so I will stick with Rio despite Blt going ex in a couple of weeks with a tempting 3.5% 1/2 of its annual dividend.

I think the previous golden ocean was a shipping company so probably the same.

I have one on order with Hottentot engrave specially reduced in size to be a "short" model

Im relocating back this is definitely a luckier cave!

Personal data seems to have been leaked, myself and a relative also with talktalk keep getting overseas calls pretending to be from talktalk upto four calls a day.Bought a device from amazon which blocks them out but would be curious if other customers here have had similar issues?

Peace and quiet at last ;)

We are now relocating to gold fields board with immediate effect.

Welcome back, where the devil did you disappear too? :)

Looking cheap 2804 p.

Thanks optimus my blood pressure always seems to drop when I'm invested in national grid or British land lol.Also bought 10000 shares in boo which I was in before rdsb punt.

rdsb @ 2149.65 p Bought national grid 3000 shares at 903.575p

stop loss set at 4.28pm never kicked in when price dropped below (?). I Cancelled it at 5.30pm otherwise if price rises they would probably implement it and take profit for themselves and if it dropped it would have been left as unactivated or is this being too cynical?

Stop loss added 2145p

Still in thought about raising stop loss but decided to remove 2120 might add one at 2200 if it goes over.

rdsb stop loss set at 2120 which would be 270 profit.Set when price had dipped to 2121.5 so nice to see a small recovery.
