Hope you’re referring to the new 10p’s not the old ones Troj!
Maybe this mild snap has created a few more monsters, mozzies must have a role in the food chain/system but I have no hesitation killing them on contact lol
Cheers mate, the wildlife eat just about everything we grow which is fine by us as it’s a hobby rather than a business really. Catch up later guys.
The sea berries or buckthorn are very thorny mind you, makes hawthorn quite tame by comparison!
Hi Blueglow,
We bought a batch a few years ago as an experiment really but it’s only the females that seem to produce the orange berries whereas one of the males has busied himself sending out runners and so we’re adding in different terrains up there as it’s all good ground cover if nothing else and will try and get some females into the mix for the berries.
In a garden they could be a nuisance with the spreading mind you!
We’ve potted on a load of cuttings so hopefully they’ll be more berry production going forwards!
I’ve got the usual stuff in precious metals including a recent bottom fish in fres and I’d imagine I’ve covered it with a lot of the diversified trusts I’ve got thanks mate. Hope yours doing okay.
Morning all, sorry haven’t posted for yonks and hope you’re all doing okay?
Been busy building a big greenhouse amongst other things and all waking up at the land now.
Have successfully planted a few more trees including a batch of sea berries which grew out from runners and saw a pair of red-legged partridge the other day which I haven’t seen up there before.
On shares just dividend stuff mostly and a few recovery ones added to the mix, as in yet to recover and still dropping lol.
Scary times out there in the news with all the dictators threatening everyone, crazy times!
Hi LTI, good to see the nav creeping back up. Recent div most welcome and the buybacks I assume because they also think they’re too cheap!
The SP seems to trail the nav around 10p these days and hopefully in time they’ll narrow the gap from when we always seemed to be 10p over!
I normally buy my cigs in cartons as in ten packs at a time and noted they’ve gone up from £13.70 to over £14 a pack in the last few weeks, did I hesitate to buy,no because it’s like a pint or a gallon of fuel,we just pay it.
Therefore I suggest tobacco is a captive market plus all the news about banning disposable/flavoured whatever vapes suggests to me the NGP’s with the big two here are quite happy to see some competitors stand aside or lose out to the majors and thereby keeping the entry levels to the business high.
Still adding under 25 on income longterm,short term doesn’t interest me but good luck to the traders here.
Hi Troj,if I wasn’t busy organising etc I’d be moaning about share prices lol!!
Back in Somerset mate, foot in both camps.
Hi Troj, a bit of a compromise this one as mum with us now so a ‘30’s bungalow on a decent plot with a big garage and loads of sheds. Connectivity with the land a mere 150 miles of mostly motorway, best of both worlds,sort of!
Hi Troj/teccas, hope you’re all okay and nothing to report unless you want me to bore you to death about rewiring,replumbing,re-roofing and all surrounding it with the latest property were shortly moving into!
Only trades have been averaging down on bats and close brothers and haven’t bothered renewing my IC subscription as haven’t had time to read it! Catch up soon.
Hi Troj, it’s certainly been an interesting year and despite a bit of a rally last week I’m way off(again lol), never mind at least there’s divs coming in.
I might cancel my IC subscription because they’ve done the ‘for information on dividends go on-line’ again. I wrote to them when they did this a few months ago pointing out the reason I subscribe to the magazine is so I don’t go on-line and they write back telling me how to go on-line….i think they missed my point and frankly to see the divs the financial diary on here is fantastic along with a few other websites.
The ponds are brimming, was up there the other day, the one when it wasn’t raining all day lol
Merry Christmas to all the present, past and future posters. Have a great one you lot…james
Surely the fact they are buying back shares at a discount to nav as opposed to at a premium to nav is because they recognise there is value in doing so?
Much like directors buys, they see value in doing so however minescule the percentage it’s better than not taking advantage of the discount?
LTI, thanks for the explanation there mate.
We all do it subjectively because it’s our money at risk. Vive la difference! Not saying any approach is right or wrong but the market is strangely random and chaotic in how it reacts and there are so many factors and inputs which makes it interesting,rewarding at times, other times quite disheartening if you let it get to you.
Noted another buyback….they’re seeing an opportunity here too surely?!
Thanks for the link Ade.
On yield it’s just pounds,shillings and pence to me, if I buy a thousand quids worth of shares at 8% yield and the SP drops a third, they maintain the yield or rise it slightly I’m still getting 8% return, if I bought more now it would add to the ROI which I have recently so if I could be bothered I’d factor that in but with over 200 holdings and a farm and a big property project on-going(aaarghhhh) I haven’t got the headspace and with the trusts holdings I have I like to think they have the nouce to deal with it if you know what I mean!
Agreed LTI, if the nav creeps up so will the SP! Discount to nav verses premium to nav is interesting but as I was saying to Ade they wouldn’t have bought some back if they didn’t see value?
No problem, I invest for return on investment it’s that simple and yield income is a big part of why I invest. Perceived value and dividends are my bag, a few punts here and there. Nice chatting and glad we hopefully buried a few misconceptions. All the best ade.
Assuming 6.1ppq as the benchmark yes of course but as you can appreciate I’m only looking at this subjectively because to me yield is return on investment paid rather than what you get at the now price.
