Just checked - the drop... I suspect the AGM with 30% voting against the climate change projection. I had assumed it was those thinking it was too much. Or is it not far enough? If the latter, that may have a negative outlook. I've heavy commitments, otherwise my £1100 div. would go to adding more at under 450/470. LTH.

SD - indeed, she is, and now a source of cashflow assistance, as our finances are reversed.

My portfolio was much more adventurous than hers. HA!

There's a moral there somewhere. :-)

SD - sadly I have others to "compensate" so nursing net portfolio loss the last 3 years. :-(

Averaged 8/12% annually, up to then.

I bought my ex, now BF, 2500 3i @ 450, added 500 @ 949 - 7 and 5 years ago.

And SMT - @ 204, sold half @ 1200 to 1500, THAT'S jammy!

I regularly wish I had her adviser.

Bought 1800 9 years ago at 200. Now 1550, having got more than my original stake in sales alone, with great dividends extra, a happy punter. :-)

FWIW,

Bought 5000 in 2007 @ 140. Added, recently @ 240, now 6900.

My FT portfolio gives a total return of 108%, 6.75% annually.

Not sparking, like 3i and Inchape, but solid, and feels safe.

Shell also feels safe, but returns very poor...

Just added a few thousand at 1.34p

Barclays raises Fresnillo price target to 630 (620) pence - 'equal weight'
Anyone else here thinks Barclays are optimistic?

Yep, We're now £24K in, worth £1.5K - ouch!
Just now, blood all over the walls everywhere, everything I hold is massively down...
A few more interest rate increases, and meltdown?

We hold about 3 times value in HSBC v TESCO.
On 23rd June, 15% more for Tesco in dividends.
I know HSBC pay 4 times, still? Tesco's cover looks a bit better too.

OS - we don't need much, just enough.

On AIM, it's the only (sane) way. :-)

Deffo, I've also had my buys marked as sells, now cheered by the recent buys at 2.6/2.8.
As mentioned, worried about the sale of 57 for the princely total of £1.4 :-)
Did he know something? :-/

Meant to say 25p to 32p paid... sob, sob.

nl - a lot less risk at <1p than the 25.32 a lot of us paid 2 years ago.
The sea of blue in the trades looks hopeful - no guarantees on AIM, which most understand?
(or other places these days!)

Evi - rather upsetting read; for a long time, my complaint against my deep green friends was, by hurting open, regulated western companies, they gave a green light to much worse actors.
In the real world, you do the best deals in essentials to society, where you must.
Sad, the world is worse than we hoped; but it's where we live.
(NB JPMorgan cuts Glencore price target to 610 (620) pence - 'overweight')

All this makes me hope for a more cautious approach.
Much happier if Glen holds (or distribute) any spare cash.

May I join? On retirement, decent, (flat) pension, I put ALL my lump sum + redundancy in the market. 2/3 funds, 1/3 self-managed ISA.
Most of the latter in 250/350 UK dividend payers, which outperformed the funds every year - up to 3 years ago. I get a lot of pleasure from good moves, though not a trader, LTH, and sanguine about the bad - 4 recent AIM "dreams" would be painful otherwise.
Basic comfortable life - any pots of rainbow "gold" are only to share. (or an odd upgrade to business class!) Happy, but for worries about my grandchildren - and others...

Just a hopeless optimist?
Added a little over 35% to my holding, for a very modest sum.
Now 93% instead of 96% down...

Down 96% on my £24K - so do I feel lucky?
Tempted...as I was sure it was gone Monday.
I have done this before... Non, Je ne regrette rien?

There is an auction frenzy here, OK, I don't know the numbers, and may not be wiser if I did, but I hope Glenda walks away - just a gut feeling.
What would Ivan do?
DYOR of course...
