The share price

Were you planning on selling tomorrow?

I'm able to log in to HL. No issues.

"Why give the banks more money than you have to what am I missin" If your mortgage is (say) 5%, but your investments net you 8% you're 'better off' keeping the money invested, rather than spending it to save that 5%. However, it's generally not as simple as that.

Minor correction, it's more like £3900 going into pension (I hit Scottish Top rate)

"Why would you want to pay your mortgage off?" I get that it's not, on the surface, the best financial choice to early pay a mortgage, especially if you've got a good rate, however, when we paid ours off, it gave us the ability to put a lot more into our pension for starters. The (say) £2k net that was going to the mortgage, went to salary sacrifice and became about £3,500 pension contribution. Add to that the peace of mind that no matter what happens, I own my house outright, that decision has absolutely been worth it.

Cool story bro 😂😂😂🙄

True, however health holds a strong correlation with wealth, where wealthier individuals tend to be healthier, have better health outcomes and better mortality rates. So wealth, as it relates to health, is extremely important 😉

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 good one

I take you're no longer invested, having sold out either at 54 pre ex-divi or less, slightly post ex-divi. Waiting for the 43p price to buy back in? BTW I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that if you don't want to see someone else's posts, you need to block them, rather than request and hope for them to block you. (If they block you, you'll still see their posts, but they won't see yours).

100% those that wield the power are looking to essentially get rid of the middle class, those who have built up some wealth, (stocks, cash, bricks&mortar) so that that wealth can be transferred to and controlled by them. Check out garyseconomics on YT, X, TT, etc etc. He's an interesting bloke.

@hardup, to be clear (just in case I wasn't): having 4 different accounts, all in the same bank, will not increase the protection, it will remain at £85k for total funds you hold in HL.

On mobile with patchy reception, so not sure if this has been responded to:

"Split up money max £85k in each account so all is be covered by FSCS?" FSCS will cover you up to 85k across ALL of your accounts for EACH bank. So if you have 4 accounts, each with 50k all accounts in the same banking group, you'll still ONLY be covered up to £85k. You need to ha e those accounts spread across different banking groups (e.g. If you have an account in Lloyds and another in Halifax, they'll still be aggregated as they both belong to LBG).

Anyone else get a notification that tye tender offer has been cancelled as it doesn't comply with US law?

Hey George. I have to ask, are you invested in DEC? How much of a loss are you sitting on?

Just looked up a certain poster's details. It looks like all his recent posts have been removed.

I live near the area in question. It MAY not be Devra, but I would keep an eye on this, 'cos they will get absolutely SPANKED if they're at it again.

It's STILL open at depth.

@kempey I'm not saying that it would be a problem, nor am I discounting a takeover, I was just positing that the agreement, which bolsters GGP's position, makes it much less likely.

@WF No worries, I misunderstood the intent of your post, my bad.
