Sorry,didn't read that correctly...good luck if you go back into evraz. I've got a few but at an horrific loss,good entry for recovery I'd have thought now. Hansard perked up a bit today along with a reversal of yesterday's wipe out on most of the blue team!

Certainly has been a mixed two days in this lark...a few opportunities presented themselves as ever during the meltdown! Good luck with evraz.

I had bodycote post crash,should have kept them by the looks of it! Cheers for that one twonko,will have a look. On the high yielders you might want to investigate Hansard, HSD, just had some numbers out and the yield confirmed and up a bit on last year too.

Difficult choices or maybe not? Thankfully stan isn't a big enough yield to go after but worth keeping an eye on and I've got a few in case the wheels don't come off. Hsba is a bigger dilemma as it's near enough the magic 5 on yield!! Supermarkets are defensive and morrisons in npton was packed this morning! Can't get excited about lloyds after most of mine got sold in the 20's...no yield or maybe a small yield to come? To me it just looks like a recovery one that's already recovered but I've never been much good on banks.

Predictive text again, yield not 'yoked'!

Morning bud. I sold half my EMG into the rise and diversified a bit just in case plus the yoked okay but not compelling enough in itself to hold excess. STAN is highly thought of and tipped everywhere as the one to hold but the SP,hmmmm!! They're ex for the final on the 12th but unlike HSBA not quarterly. A bit like Glaxo and Astra on comparison that one will drop like a stone on ex div day! Hsba has the bigger yield and also ex for the 19 cents on the 12th,otherwise about 10 cents for the other quarters but a bigger yield. Supermarkets out of favour and the contrarian buy is Morrisons,results out 13th(!) but has the biggest yield after sains and tesco last.

Cheers bud,hope you had a good week. Strange how the sentiment on EMG changed so quickly,the yield is okay at just under 5p now but it seems to have motored on the buybacks of all things or maybe something else who knows/cares as long as they go up. Have a good weekend bud.

Indeed,the ones I've kept are well up but just wish I'd kept a few more of the 210 ones!! Man group and ladbrokes have smashed my targets this week and I've sliced a few of both to diversify and yet again averaged down on morrisons and got into a few more quarterly fundies like ALAI,SOI,HFEL added along with APF and JEMI. Hsba now my biggest paper loss and man group second largest profit after so long the biggest loss! Chasing the supermarkets down still and out of the tobacco ones now. Good luck on evraz,never done any good on them personally,they're certainly cheap enough now! On the specs mwana looking poorly and IFL was up a bit when I last looked. Range res my biggest and worst currently. Wish they'd go up a penny or two!! Have a good weekend bud,early start for me tomorrow.

Cracking day on man bud,made a healthy difference. Well done on your goldie.

Glad to see two fully paid up members still standing!! I don't think there's an obligation to be holders these days thistle! Man group well I'm as much in the dark as everyone else but unlike first group they've got surplus cash as opposed to crippling debts so I'm hopeful there will be some kind of divvy. I've heard and read all manner of predictions but as I'm currently working my lot out on 3.7p annual I'm thinking I'll be pleasantly surprised...let's see what happens tomorrow!

Come out,wherever you all are!! A bit of a breather here maybe? All eyes on man group tomorrow for me plus Hansard noticed the crystal amber fund have added there though never heard of them before,apparently they buy under valued shares...sounds familiar. Been adding supermarkets this week and sliced a few ladbrokes but still a big holding now they've confirmed the divvy. Hope everyone okay.

Checked with my broker today and poundland is only available to the insti's so us retail boys don't get a look in at the IPO stage.

I think that could be a good one depending on the terms etc,very popular but many don't want to admit they're over 50! LAD proposed 19th March. I assume Hansard will announce theirs on Thursday....the same day as man group...gulp!

A friend mentioned the poundland IPO but I don't know if my brokers are covering it yet. Not sure if they can determine the nominal value at a pound but it would make sense!! Already quite heavy in RRL,a new bloke in charge or something. Big week ahead for me on conviction stocks LAD,EMG and HSD. In those it's all about the divvy for me.

Yes it's proposed mid march full year and pretty much bumping along the bottom on the SP...a bit like when these were 210 and the below 2 quid posts were scaring me to death lol!!

Okay bud,glad you're okay and got some top slicing done. Can't remember half of what I did except I've tinkered around and got more yield in the main account and more shares in the spec one! Catch up soon bud.

Yes I remember you mentioned the Georgia one. Sains a good choice,probably a bit overdone alongside the other supermarkets IMO. The tobacco ones are quite interesting ones to trade around the divs etc. No AA this week?

Good one! On divs,BATS and STAN imminent...are you looking at them?

Are you going to tell me?!

Yes the supermarkets have looked like good value since everyone seems to think the lidl etc stores are taking over....I've never seen a proper supermarket carpark empty when they're open which suggests otherwise.
