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.

My brother would have loved the interest rates available on cash now .

He was the opposite to me, virtually all of his money in cash on which he got very little return for many years.

Personally I am not interested in cash returns - I would have to pay a great deal in tax on it in any case.

Lloyds making double digit returns to shareholders. If Billions of shares being repurchased and cancelled each year continues with a good dividend yield on top, that will be fine by me.

but also,most of the ftse 100 revenues are from overseas

Share price is now getting nearer to NAV - maybe we will be back to what has been the 'normal' most of the time - a premium.

Happy with my purchase at 210.5p when at a good discount

Good that you have taken time to try to explain things but unfortunately as I have found, some simply do not understand.

''To put it in to context, the share price was this low in the aftermath of the global financial crisis, between 2008 and 2009; 14 years ago. THIS IS EMBARRASSING.''

As far as I can see in 2008 the share price went as low as about 177p in 2008 - currently at 221p.

As far as I can see the HFEL share price from that low point until now mirrors that of the Hang Seng index.

Capital values can go down as well as up

- a great dividend paying month for my portfolio.

''Investing percentages?''

I have a large number of stocks in my portfolio- The percentage of money invested in each is irrelevant.

What is relevant is that YOU stated that 1.4% of your 'portfolio' is in HFEL, so a relevant question is why are 100% of your posts on a board relating to 1.4% of your 'portfolio' ?.

It is BS.

that is easy to see - just click my name

Have you anything to say ,on 98.6% of your 'portfolio'?

Looking like total BS to me - 100% of posts on a board consisting of 1.4% of a 'portfolio'

On CNA board - from me

Just sold Today 15:27

A few shares at over 151p which were bought at about 87p.

This sale is the last of shares bought at under £1, down to much lower levels.

Still have lots of shares left, with hopefully a continued upward movement in price.

another nonsense post from you to add to your collection

''Three Years ago Centrica ( British Gas) was 38p''

yes - your posts encouraged me to purchase more shares at higher levels than todays price because you kept saying that a winter was going to be very cold and that British gas was going to make a fortune. Unfortunately they started to go down the plughole. I stopped buying at about 59p.

I have made a few sales on the way up including today at 151p.

2015 statutory profits of £1.6 Billion pre tax

Market cap in 2015 reached about £61 Billion

Market cap currently at £26.9 Billion

based on that market cap with 75,920,580,738 shares in issue, the current price per share would have been 35.44p

Currently 63,540,750,749 in issue.

Without buybacks, there would have been 75,920,580,738 shares in issue

A few shares at over 151p which were bought at about 87p.

This sale is the last of shares bought at under £1, down to much lower levels.

Still have lots of shares left, with hopefully a continued upward movement in price.

Very happy with my purchase at 210.5p and the percentage income it will produce.

If others haven't the inclination to purchase when asset values are low then that is their choice.
