Our latest Investing Matters Podcast episode with QuotedData's Edward Marten has just been released. Listen here.
Hi Sain,
Saw that move with LSL, great way to get committed staff/sub-owners and reduce risk I assume, certainly works for Winkworths etc.
I thought the self-employed model/LPA with this lot had some legs with the right guidance but the current model is just an order-taker oppo which is so difficult to access I’m at a loss to see why anyone would instruct them in the first place and as far as agreeing anything you’d have to be committed to get through to them as a buyer!
I used to think the brand(grudgingly) might have some value but I’m not even sure if that now!
Hardly anyone has commented on this as as a LTH I’d say it’s a rare one and maybe provides reassurance that Rathbones with their recent expansion took a near enough 5% stake and will have done plenty of DD to get there?
The SP pretty grim but I don’t think any of us bought for SP growth over income and the underlying stocks fluctuate as do the geographics so I’m not losing any sleep on this one tbh.
Any actual views on the holdings RNS out there?
Hope all doing okay? Good growing weather and blossom turning to buds and plenty going on around the big pond, I’m sure you’ve got the same Troj.
Got lucky on my numis shares last week so recirculated the dosh into a couple of the ultra boring but cheap and yielding infrastructure funds.
Hi Sain,
Surprised this are still listed tbh, achieving listings is a miracle and trying to buy through them even more prohibitive from personal recent experiences!
Just hope the punters in here get lucky for their sake but I’m
Not joining in!
Zac, I also hold the JP China ones and currently under 3 quid so kind of ‘in line’? Also note AAIF similarly down there but with a lower yield.
Can’t remember the last time I was ‘in profit’ lol
Hi there, I don’t look on too often these days and not really interested in the sustainability of the divvy as long as they keep paying it.
Capital values fluctuate and currently right down there but with another 6p in the pipeline I see no reason to comment beyond sit it out.
Of greater interest is the holdings RNS….comments?
Looking back it was the fire risk that was our biggest concern then as we watched 30 acres go up two fields away whilst an idiot nearby neighbour was happily having bonfires and open bbqs at the time….it’s fair to say a lot of people were unhappy about it at the time lol.
My preference is bitter than lager so not worried about ice!!
Soon be frogs everywhere!!
Hi troj, we could certainly do without 40 degrees again for sure mate! If some space traveller looked in on us and read the news they would be thinking we’re all at war with each other!
Hi AA, hope all good with you mate.
Cheers Nom, seen a few down valuations recently but the healthcare ones look good value currently and one I didn’t have got a take over bid at a good premium last week….and it was on the watcher aaarghhh!
Hard to know what to invest in these days!
Happy Easter all!
Hope everyone doing okay.
Quick glance through the world news and see the Ruskies still trying to lecture anyone that’ll listen on being role models despite invading their neighbours and killing people at will, Frenchies telling the yanks they’ve got bigger friends in China now so let’s hope for them the jerries don’t have another go….conflict everywhere in fact!
Meanwhile spring happening here and blossom and budding leaves everywhere and all looking good.
A few recent additions on shares, nothing notable although it feels like it at the time!
Scary how quickly confidence can be eroded and with all those people doing online banking and investing in all these weird banks,crypto’s etc etc they can all draw down their money without even writing a cheque!
Newdealz, mad march!
Hopefully not another bunker day tomorrow GLA night….
Hi troj, I sometimes wonder if these crashes are manufactured to churn the dosh, however bad it gets some make money out of it!
Asset backed mate!
Evening all, hope everyone doing okay?
Spring in the step, trees budding and looks like I might be coming out of the bunker if I’m reading it right the Swiss govt is paying for the bigger bank to swallow the smaller bank and underwriting it and any shareholders get shafted in the process like RBS buying HBOS scenario?
Anyway if it reverses the process and the shares go back up I’ll be happy!
Putin a war criminal officially and everyone old enough to remember thinking this is Hitler lebensraum all again?
It’s certainly interesting!
I must admit I’ve put all these names into the same category as all the other come and go merchants that I’ve seen come and go over the years mate!
Hi Sain, this one bouncing around quite a bit on news….or is it the spread?!
Even sleepy agents now waking up to the idea they might need to open after 5.30 evenings and do accompanies viewings at weekends, maybe even try and negotiate deals and go up and down the chain to make it happen…not quite sure where this lot or strike fit in, as you suggest they’re just money-raisers and in terms of generating fee income I can’t see it beyond twisting mug punters on bolt ons.
Interested to see it unfold but I have to say unfold it will whether in its current or bought out(from whatever format!), in the words of Jimi Hendrix…castles made of sand…..!
Good luck punters, I really mean that but please don’t look at this as an investment in estate agency.
Cheers bud I’ll have a look at them, had them years ago and from memory they only used to pay once a year,will investigate. BA. a bit too high for my palate having had them before at half what they are now….should have kept them! Haven’t seen any newts of late but they’re probably in there somewhere! The badger sett has become very active too, they can’t half shift soil!
Typo….toads not roads lol
