'' it is still 11p down on my purchased average from all that time ago.''
and how has the cash returns via dividends compared in that period with if cash had been in a bank deposit account? .
I have said it a number of times already - you have had plenty of time in which to purchase shares at less than half the price of your buying level.
''Whilst those choosing not to admit any loss may comfort themselves with ' My div's reduce my average'''
Yes,some do like to include dividends in calculations to determine how they stand against the money invested, whether that is to reduce a current overall loss or simply to reduce an average share price that determines their own idea of a break even point.
Personally I do not include dividends - my average share price purely altered by capital purchases and sales
