Does anybody hold both ggp and hoc .. both gold different countries. i was very overweight ggp but now adding hoc as no idea which will perform better, today ggp down 5.5pc hoc down 3.5pc

Just make sure u havent ggp shares and have a private aeroplane, several vincents collectable cars, a second house with side missing...in order to legally buy that fund

Paul

no invest in starmers benefits trust.. apart from guaranteed to go up, completely inflation protected, and fully diversified in power food petcare travel and counil tax. If the fund does drop just fone up and u will get reimbursed for the loss if it caused u a problem.

Hoc ggp i mean!!

Be.. look at the number of posts u v kent please.... yep, what was gold price a year ago?

SAD we may be the only conciousness/intelligence in this galaxy this is what we should concentrate on not leaders waring. Insane that president trump is trump ai with no protections for war.

as said on friday I sold third vodafone to add to hoc ggp, v interesting to see if this was a good decision!

Still no idea if HOC or GGP will perform best (xtal ball) for me very overweight ggp, now hoc frez about same price so will time will tell. Im very interested in others opinions on this.

And as an aside, I love the info from knowledgeable posters here, not a fan of vod board where most are in a guess what price this friday with no workings. Its fascinating to pick up knowledge on mining here.

Well i did it.. despite overweight here sold third of vod 108(i cant see it higher than 118 next 3 months) into ggp hoc caspian

IMO ggp will move around between 650 800 next 3 months

I dont usually sell, unusual for me, lets see.........

Tanbee.. exactly right.. my pension also in sipp, what im saing is right now,

sell vod now 107 it could go to 117 in 3 months plus 2pc divi thats about 12pc

put in now ggp hoc frez rare vearths.. ggp 650 in 3 months imo could be £8 thats 23pc

so right now this move could be worth doing.

Like you, im hgely overweight nggp on prmise of news and gold price plus hoc frez, some sensible glaxo vod insurers, unlike u no bonds at all, do u like short term no risk, or 30 yr???? Why bonds when l and g aviva glaxo vod throw off 5 to 9pc with hopefully capital appreciation?

l and g etc seemed the way to go for years at 9pc... until miners with good management did 150pc in 6 months..ggp

Freddie

so my pension has been decimated (while those on benefits are completey insulated £$£$£$$££$)

The question is what will recover.

Vod a core holding 70 to 118 6 months now back to 107

Very tempted sell a third and put in ggp hoc ant ato rare earths wheaton

Ive asked so many tomes here do peeps thonk hoc or ggp will perorm better (my xtal ball broke) now they are similar price so ill defo add hoc as well as ggp.

Sometime near term ggo hoc etc will be way higher imo

Violin dog

there are others like this.. crism capx casian... all have fantastic stories... crism is in trial that should IMO move price. However experince has now taught mr however good the story, how much their own money invested, have they track record of doing it before, have they a heavyweight board covering sales deals and the business, so im happy to have a TINY amount in these buts or 10 bag, anf lots in ggp which will hopefully outperform cause of added value, and follow the gold price up in a nice leveraged manner, and when no monies needed to add value then a divi.

Eclob...

Agree interesting to see where price goes from here, will it follow gold price.. or how much extra value will be added..

but ill tell you the question that really interests me, ...............................is ggp or hoc better for the future........

ai said they are similar businesses but different countries, and ggp more risky with more possible upside.

As my xtal ball wont tell me im ten times more in ggp than hoc frez, but in them all.

nb.. car insurer fell heavily last week due fears ai bad impact, im superhappy being overweight gold vod glaxo..

Jim

you have succeeded in making me feel awful...

I wont post on vod board again for advice.

Im an engineer not a finance guy but have managed 60pc gain each of last 2 years, with third in likes glaxo vod, a large amount in greatland gold// 150pc up 6 months hoc frez, a bit in safe insurers aviva up lots, and a small amount in the tree cs crism (15pc yesterday 4pc today) capx caspian sunsise

Apart from growing the share base it gives me huge joy to learn about the industries from hugely experienced posters (not his board)

Now with the ai, 3 years ago when hype started i played withnit regularly every 3 months, the aim to know myself what was true or not. I wrote books, made pictures for the books, got ai to write code to put in windows registry, and much more. It was interesting when asked for high div safe shares it came up with the ones i held or was looking at. Now it is true that ai produces wrong and believable results sometimes, a lot of it relies on how good your prompting is, however its real easy to crosscheck.

Sad that an experienced poster like you would want to make me feel this bad, and noted 2 likes. So that's last post from me on this board.

Jim

because i hadnt recourced that, thanku, but still leaves me not understanding vod div policy, do you undertand? is there a progressive dividend policy, thank you

This from ai

Vodafone Group (VOD)

Vodafone pays dividends semiannually, with the most recent payment of $0.240 per share on August 1, 2025. The next dividend is forecasted for February 5, 2026, at $0.257 per share. The company maintains a semiannual dividend policy, historically setting the interim dividend at 50% of the prior full-year payout. However, recent data shows a declining dividend growth trend, with a -98.99% growth rate over the last year, and a low dividend sustainability score (11.46%), indicating potential challenges in maintaining current levels.

....... Remember there was a 50pc div cut when vod at its lows... its recovered70p to 117

How does one find out the dividend policy please

Dividends are a great way to sleep at night, leave holding intact, and receive monies... no tax on isa but taxed of course in share account

IHALLIWELL

Please more explanation of on its way to 130.. Is this from charts or performance.

All I can see is all 3 year pervious highs exceeded followed by a nice rise, could be one of three, plus a company that will benefit from ai.

what is the easiest way to research if there is a policy to link or raise dividends on a share??

Glaxo share price 1500 to 2200 in a year. Div is now 3pc

Is there a policy of raising dividend in place .. link to research appreciated, q.

...NOLO.....

I got the 3 insurers for diversity 2 yrs ago. phoenix

aviva (emma and directline)

Legal n gen

2 yrs on the supposedly safest leg n gen is up only a few percent, aviva and phoenix up about 50pc ish

... not advice, but to help with research, mmm i cant see why l and g should suddenly start to rise... so rather than holding equal amounts I wonder if there is a case for 20pc l and g 40pc aviva and phoenix?????????????????

With hindsight the divi, an extra 2pc or so with l and g , doesn't look as good when capital gain taken into account

(No xtal ball, but emma seems to be adding value consistantly aviva, and i cant see any catalist for big cap gains l and g)

2 years on

Ive little idea of the workings of these two companies as i don't work there! but looking at the charts legal and gen is about same price as a year ago .. a flat channel ..and aviva up about 50pc with a rising trend line .. a rising channel.... . ai says aviva getting improved results from amanda blanc.

I bought phoenix lgen aviva 2 yrs ago, the three for diversity, .... has anyone else wondered if they should swap lgen into aviva ??? why.

(If buying now lgens gragh looks like its not going to rise anytime soon, and avivas is rising, higher highs higher lows)

MR CAUTIOS.. which funds did you nlike.....

Tatt

well at least you can buy and sell for pounds.. if it was a foosie stock like vod (up 106 to 108) would have been .5% tax !!!!!!!!!

I'm heavy ggp but diversified likes of glaxo vod and would expect ggp to exceed previous highs near term IMO due prospects and clever board.

haha also have a SMALL amount in my three c casoian crism cap x bust or tenfold. crim up 31pc today

Ive asked so many times here what is difference holding hoc or ggp.... actually ai has now given me the answer.. different countries ggp more risky but much more possible upside/downside.

Ive now learnt.. dont invest in the 3 c s.... dont expect performance from divi stocks... risky growth stocks as ggp with a bit of diversification is where to be IMO with a good board and prospects.
