Lordlucan has gone to church to ask the Lord to forgive those whom insult the Lucan
Well done Lordlucan, you have been very upfront about your trades, more or less when traded unlike some, whom report a day or days later.
Gary59,
This share never behaves as you would expect. I had a target to sell before Ex-div, and was achieved. These were shares I bought in the recent drop. Depending on how much they go up tomorrow, I will sell another lot of the same value. I am now under no pressure to sell, as I have funds to buy those back again.
I will retain a core holding for the dividend. Also note, the market has risen for 2 days, will it rise another day? as nothing keeps on going up, as well as more delays to a interest rate drop.
I will post if and when I buy back and what has been achieved.
I have sold 12000 shares today, and if they arise further by 4.30pm tomorrow I will sell another lot. The remainder I will take the dividend on, so covering myself both ways.
Obviously will be looking to buy back at a price to include the dividend as well as a bit extra.
Boyobach,
I am no fan of buybacks, they just muddy the figures. There is also the question of debt, which is also coming down too slowly.
Sawan can say that there is a valuation gap, however the dividend was cut, don't I know it, when I ended up buying more shares to get equivalent. Those like Exxon and Chevron did not so they deserve a higher valuation. We are still below the dividend before the cut several years down the line. I have been in this since 2015 so have enough experience with this company.
I have sold of 20% of my holding, so ready to sell more or buy back when the value is right for me.
Lordlucan,
Well done on your purchases. I have a relatively small position, 15000 shares. I bought at 119.06p and only buy in 5p drops of £10k.
FF, the figure of 114.66p is that the information from level 3?
Asking, as having that information is very handy when deciding to purchase, otherwise could spend a small fortune averaging down. I am too mean to spend money to have level3 or even 2, lol.
Limit order on to buy until end of April.
FF,
I find your insight useful. I popped in here when it went down to new lows. I then sold all my holdings at 1.35 first thing on update day, I was happy with my profit for a very short time. I knew there was a gap at 116.30p from the day of update. Now you are asking me for a new price, I don`t have a clue, I bought in last Friday at 119p, my strategy is to buy at every few pence drop, so that I am covered for all eventualities. I did say so on my post that day. It may retest the lows of 103p, but that would be a stab in the dark.
I am more into oil, have a large position in SHELL, which I have traded since 2016, and which pays me a superb income.
Little Aston is the jewel in the crown of Birmingham, well Lichfield, lived just off the Roman Road, but moved from there in 2021, moved in 2003.
Lordlucan,
"watch out jd will go below 116"
"i bought @ 117,and 119 yesterday ,price will go lower"
So JD will go lower than 116p, so why on earth did you buy them at 119p and 117p if you are SO certain?
PS frequent trading helps, dividends reinvested etc. I spend most days glued to screen
Whom said I had them in a ISA alone, these are also in a Sippy as well
Daytradenovice,
Yes, I use to live in Little Aston, just off the Roman Road, did a self build. Stockland Green just around the corner near Erdington.
I have rental properties in Dudley which are doing good.
I left Little Aston not too long ago and moved to Rugby, bought a 20 acre farm.
Re: Shell my max holding was 56773 shares, however I am now down to 41893 shares. so yes my yield is fantastic, but at current prices, it is poor. I prefer the likes of LGEN and have a bit stashed away there as well. Bought into JD, sold them all on update and bought them back today, more of a growth share in my view.
I spend a lot of time trading, yes making a small fortune, but want more.
Managed to get £20k of shares back, at 119p another limit order on for 116.50
This is new territory now, hope the rise continues. I still have a load of them, with exceptional life changing profits all tax free.
The dividend yield is getting poorer with the rise, that is the only issue I have.
Taverham,
Trouble is.it is dropping daily, he may well get his price, also there is a gap at 116.30 and it is likely to close.
I too am waiting to buy in those I sold at 135
Yes, another top up for me, expect to see a gradual increase for ex div.
Buy Backs up to 01/05/24 $3.5 B
Sold earlier 10k of shares, the start of the sell off for me. Will sell off more as price rises, covering each 50p rise.
GFG,
If you click on Shell Share price, then scroll down, you will get the 52 week high and low as well as dates. I have found it reliable unlike some other sources.
GFG,
Just saying, the highest price was on 18/10/2023 and that was 2793.
Now that is my target, sold a very small position yesterday to buy JD. as temptation was too great.
BP. is better on dividends, that is about all, Shell is a much better company.
I prefer one company, as I don`t see the benefit of holding more than one in the same sector.
I am in heavy with Shell, and will sell half at my target.
Boyo, great to hear from you.
