Used to have loads but sold out after the big rise a few months back. Have a few in another account but all looks a bit messy with the buyout and all that. Can't believe I'm actually in profit on MRW for the first time ever,interesting story emerging there.

Fair enough. I didn't know pets at home were going for an IPO but will look into it now you've mentioned it. As a company I know bugger all about them but as a customer on occasions they seem to be well sited with easy parking and the fact you can take your dog in with you is a compelling reason to shop there. The one here also has a vet practise. Attached but don't know if that's owned or a sublet/concession.

Yes I was on about barcs but also to a degree these! Just had a quick look at MGNS, might need to be a quid cheaper for me,not sure. SSE I'm in a dilemma with a 14 in front and there's meatier yields out there but at the same time whichever party wins the election surely they won't go through with the threats,any thoughts?

They had a good run today and don't blame you as the div not too exciting yet. I've got a handful of longtermers but I'll inevitably sell if they get nearer 3 quid....sounds familiar eh!

Had them and cape around the same time but long gone now bud. Enjoy your late supper and catch up soon. Night to you and AA and absent mates too.

Lost a few quid on ESSR previously so nice to get a bit back mate,IPO at 3 or 4 quid so must be a few bruised egos on that one. My only true discipline is to hold shares if they are yielding comfortably over 5% net so if they drop below they are at risk of being replaced hence the carillion reduction as frankly they look a bit toppy. I reduced SSE at pretty much averaged down break so now a smaller holding,too much political interference for my liking despite the high yield..they'll go over 15 quid now I expect!

They're ex on Wednesday for a few pennies I think,have a few tucked away between 250-270 but haven't added. You've done well on HICL. My BBOX ones creeping up very slowly and reckon there's 6p in divs this year,might be worth a look. Sold last weeks essar for a maiden profit and dare I admit leapt back into shaft sinkers in a small way this morning,not expecting any yield there for a while though!! Sold off some carillion and doubled up on LAD and MRW today.

Wish I'd bought all mine at that! Yes we seem to be inching upwards. Highest I ever saw them was the pre-RI spike from memory around 360. Tobacco and hsba/stan had a good day I see. Any trades for you?

Fair enough mate,I'll have a browse!! Hopefully not yikes tomorrow!!

I meant yield not yikes!!!

Glad to hear you're ready for whatever comes our way bud!! I've never heard of Melrose but I guess he's looked at them and formed an opinion. Although I'm not holding the sell ones I still think first group are a good recovery one and rsa I don't like after the tinkering with the divvy but I guess everything has its price. They were a t/o rumour not so long ago but not following them now if I'm honest bud. I like the look of group 4 and serco as contrarian buys but the downside is the small yikes and I'm also back into Tate and Lyle after last weeks drop...rightly or wrongly! Can't help noticing the range res posts getting a bit testy,I hope that doesn't spell another drop tomorrow...specs eh!

Lumberjacks are back!! Thanks for the link and the data thing from troajan. Hope everyone had a good weekend and ready for the ups and downs next week. Had convinced myself on the dozen or so aim hopefuls I'm carrying last week now I can't remember half of them!! Hopefully no nasty surprises lurking therein or in the main stuff but it's all about reaction is it not?!

I know what you mean bud, there's been a few good bounces this week or so but I'd like to think the two you mentioned arn't quite ready for the graveyard account!!

Good work on the goldie mate. LAD who knows,if it gets that low and they maintain the yield I reckon I'll be in for more!! Shifted some sse today and bought back into Tate for the fist time in years and for good measure added a few more morrisons and gfs....haven't touched the specs today.

Hopefully not the kiss of death...but what do we or anyone know!! GLA

So we've all jumped back in then! One of those I had post-crash and regretted flogging for a small profit so glad to be holding again. Yield not massive but do-able!!! Hope there's no more bad weather heading our way from over the pond Jo..a bit sodden here but no floods..yet!

Don't blame you mate,my extras went as soon as I saw nearly 3!! Longtermers intact though...for now!!

Cheers bud. Alas I let go of pog and hoc after a few in outs but I'm this lark you can't keep everything! I've only a few barcs but might add if they go below 250 but not sure if they intend to raise the divvy and the likes of hsba and stan pay half decent ones so I'm more focused on them in that sector.

Well I'm happy to see a few recent losses overturned although mindful that the supermarkets look like buying territory once more. Interesting bounce on the sse and cna ones despite the latest anti-capitalist moves by the unlikely Tories! Mwana just a gold bounce maybe or perhaps the bigger story unfolding of a country forced into the Stone Age by the regime showing glimmers or winds of future change? Some specs down,some up otherwise. Bought a Hangul of those goldplats ones today at 6.25..tucked away.

Looks like we've smashed the 3 quid marker today! AA looks like mwana moving too for some reason!!
