HFEL 1.4%

???? 98.6%

Total BS

Was from memory -

a bit more accurate - a 33% increase in the number of shares from 2018 to a couple of months ago.

The relevance is?

''New shares issued''

Number of shares increased by about 25% between 2018-22.

and the relevance is?

''what will it take to go above 60 ''

A continuation of repurchases and cancellation of shares.

Maintained or increased profitability to sustain progressive dividend policy.

Inflation being controlled.

Avoiding any severe recession.

Unlike the thread title , every day appears to be a bad one for you.

HFEL share price now back at NAV

''It’s good to agree, that Landlord Lloyds going down is fantastic.''

not sure where you got that idea from.

Lower valuations would mean that the market wants more than the current over 13% total returns that Lloyds is able to give shareholders at the current price

Car

In a now a higher rate environment, stocks that have given good dividend returns may find for a while that capital values may take a back seat.

So long as Lloyds is able to continue with large repurchase for cancellation programmes, then long term holders should be OK

''I am getting over 8% ''

I forgot, probably nearer 9% as they appear to pay an increased monthly payment nearer the end of each year

this months SMIF dividend payment was due today, so your first one will be in about a months time

G13b

good luck with that.

I will be keeping until at least the share price is in the 90 -100p range.

Could be a very long time, but who cares if receiving a good tax free income.

Why is the EU helping to fund Russia's war with purchasing more than half their LNG from Russia ?

My lowest SMIF purchase price was at 69p in March - average roughly at current price

G13b

it wasn't a recommendation though - i don't do recommendations - just a statement of what I have done.

''Will move it into corporate bonds and gilts again when it looks like interest rates have peaked''

I bought into SMIF with underlying corporate bonds for the very reason that rates will not continue to rise.

I am getting over 8% paid monthly tax free in an ISA

Kiwi

''Should have waited to sell shares ''

why - i have made sales of shares bought at very low levels.

I still retain 80% of the shares that I once held.

''It looks like "longtime" investing hasn't made you smarter.''

I am very smart - the value of my portfolio suggests that I have also made smart investments

Nal

''I hope you were equally happy when you sold at circa 296 in January''

I didn't make a sale in January - i made a sale on 11th November 2022

Inheritance tax needs to be scrapped or at second best raised to at least a £10 million threshold before it kicks in.

Crazy that many people who have had every day jobs all their lives find that with increasing property prices they may leave an estate where a 40% tax is levied - this of course is especially true of London and surrounding areas.

A fall in house prices would be welcome by some.

While I am at it, an outrageous tax is the one that is paid, simply because a homeowner wants to move from A to B.

Who gives a f about a small bet that has been placed - just another sale of shares amongst the many millions of others each day.
