''Valuation just raised to £6.2Bn''

meaningless - a notional valuation based on what stake holders have pumped into it.

If Octopus energy was ever floated to become a plc, then the stock market would determine it's valuation.

I am sure many Centrica shareholders would say that based on certain metrics, the value of Centrica should be £16 Billion. Unfortunately the market determines it's value.

''perhaps I should have sold in February 2023 (circa 52p)'' etc

perhaps you should have filled your boots as I did, buying at under 24p on

21st September 2020 and making a sale as I did at 53p on 7th January 2022

''if you multiply my number of shares by the closing price in each of 2021,2022 and 2023 = almost 0''

you must have not read -

The market decides on a daily basis what your percentage ownership is worth.

''your imaginary 14% or whatever''

there is nothing ''imaginary'' only facts.

Forward dividend yield plus £2 Billion share buyback = double digit returns.

''22/12/2021. 46.95p

22/12/2022. 46.10p

21/12/2023. 47.19p''

22/12/2023. 48.04p

every little helps

''My return = the dividend. ''

plus an increase in your percentage ownership of Lloyds bank.

how many people do you think are interested in that ballax on every board that you post on

And another one breaking the £24 mark - just hope that they get the timing right regarding how long to keep the 'ACTION' investment

A current 10p rise on the day, not too shabby

Tep

''You'd rather believe some clown on this board saying its worth 110p.? ''

must have missed that - who said that?

it has been at sub 140p today - was you asleep.

Unless i die suddenly my assets would have been given away to children and grandchildren down to an IHT threshold level. Hopefully IHT will be abolished meaning that I don't have to give grandchildren a large amount of money at a not too sensible age.

I am afraid that shares valued at less than cost at time of death does not reduce IHT.

Virtually all of my selling of shares is within an ISA .

''LTI....is just suffering''

I am sure many would like to be 'suffering' like me - having the worry of the best way to reduce HMG's large 40% tax grab before I die.

IHT needs to be completely abolished

Suffering from good news triggered hyperactivity

''This is the strongest sign that we are going to be in a recession in 2024.''

''Sign'',Really? - Maybe you need a rethink. I would have thought that is simply an indication of what everyone already knows - base rates have increased from 0.1% to 5.25% (near historic normal levels) and mortgage rates have increased quite a bit as well, increasing payments.
