Evening mate,easily done on the sell too quicks,some of them go up and back down too quick so it's not surprising we do sell early!! The sipp isn't new money,just previous contributions I moth-balled when the last government moved the dates from 50 to 55years,but going to use those funds to trade a bit and leave the existing stuff. If I wS going away for a month or two,I'd put the funds into the cheapest and best yielders before I leave and then spread the rest of the funds equally amongst the best and favourite specs and leave it to chance!!! I've dabbled with hawk amongst others but my only chunky aims are vog and nvta,loads of other little hopefuls but they all look the same really,waiting for this or that and that's why I'd do the spread rather than consolidated bets if there's a chance you're not around to keep an eye. Still have a few cosalt but no big hopes really. The cruise sounds good mate,away from everything and everyone. Bricks and mortar is ultimately the most useful investment but plenty of variables there and if you're away a lot maybe next holding off a bit. Not putting 'new' money into the sipp by the way as I wouldn't be surprised if whichever government moves the goalposts again to 60 or whatever,tax breaks aside,once the 'trust' is gone.......! Good to hear from you again and good luck with the choices,these I'm quite confident on and a friend sent me some research that I'll post here tomorrow from work(on the iPhone at moment).

Me,patient!!! Actually I can be sometimes,the old girl being a notable exception to my normal issues!!

Interesting strategy mate,my issue has always been over-trading but hopefully going to calm that down as I've got a sipp being set up and will trade that one and leave the others to yield and recover and grow(maybe!!). I thought of you recently on fibreweb which passed me by but hopefully did well for you. Cosalt stirs every now and then but only have a few of them these days. Into the big yielders mostly and lots of small recovery things too numerous to list but have a match on assetco which I bought last week(for the yield and as an 'experiment' as the IC put them up as a sell tip,contrarian or what!!). Not hugely worried about tenon as they are a strong company and my accountant bought some and used to work for one of the ones they gobbled up a while back. The yield's not spectacular but I reckon we'll see a return to the fifties in a few weeks,maybe more,maybe not....the chance we take but as you say the director buys are pretty impressive and one assumes the fundamentals are sound so it's just a case of the sentiment playing catch up!!

Glad to see a familiar face in these mate,useful IC buy tip this week as well as the chairman etc popping a few 100 grand in,following us no doubt!!! Very positive here for a bit of a bounce and future growth too. Good luck with yours too mate,don't be a stranger on 'the old girl' bb!!!

So is the chairman!!!

Netley left something on the old girl mate,compelling reading!!!!

Cheers for the info there,looks like a big bounce for the grids today and yesterday so the market must like the update! I see what you mean on vodafone buybacks,holding a few from the 130ish days and recently topped up at 162,good divs too!!!!

Very positive indeed,especially confirmation on the div direction,steady rise back up hopefully!! Bonz noticed vod playing the buyback game,hold a few of them plus azn who are at it too! Never really took too much notice of buybacks till I saw the azn acceleration,good reverse-dilution confidence builder,do ng buyback too just out of interest?

Good update today?

You,re welcome..

Well mate,this is one you got the timing spot on!!!

Shy,me?!!! No just haven't got anything to say other than looks like a cracking entry point and if the prov were anything to go by,all that shorting/shares on loan malarky has a flip side for the pi with courage to buy in now,so I followed you in!!!

Ex div next Wednesday so you will qualify(or more if you buy up to close on Tuesday),take as cash or if you want it paid as more shares and with minimal costs instead ask your broker about scrip dividends.

Great news on the div and buybacks doubled for this year,which means reverse-dilution of 3% as far as i can see

Big day tomorrow,fingers crossed for all holders and let's see what the div is going to be next week!!!

Inevitable,this is probably the best-value one in the 100 currently relative to yield/income and clearly an income buy. Since the interim has only just been paid,there may be those who hangfire for a few months but as we get closer to august(i think) then i,m sure we,ll be over 6 as there arnt many places you can get the best part of 7% income.

Checked with my broker today and the dosh is in!! Not in centrica but a big holder in sse,the competition commission stuff usually blows over so should be okay mate.

A friend on another bb reckons they spent about a billion last year,representing 'reverse-dilution' of about 1.5%,is there a formula for this based on accelerating the process if the SP goes below a certain level,or is it based on cash flow,exchange rates or just a regular event?
