never realised that percentage increases in dividends from shares should increase with percentage increases in inflation - that is a new one.

I ,and I am sure a lot of others would be happy with dividend yields to comfortably beat interest available on cash. Until the last year or so, interest on cash has been close to zero for years.

''the manager should be sacked.''

why is that?

The clue is in the name - Henderson Far East Income Limited

HFEL have never cut the income

also I repeat - capital values can go down as well as up.

5 years ago HANG SENG INDEX was at nearly 29,000 - now at about 18,500

'' but has been squandered. It has not produced commensurate income,''

weird comment

new money has bought new assets.

The dividend quarterly payment has just increased to 6.1p

payments in 2018 started at 5.3p

'' I would be more relaxed about buybacks if this was the process''

more nonsense from you - what medication are you taking for your anxiety attacks each rime Lloyds decides to remove shares from the market?

About UK quoted companies boardroom salaries.

I care about how good a business is run and the profitability that enables good returns to shareholders

Have you anything to say on a board where some of the 98.6% of your portfolio may be invested?

We are in a 'cancel' culture

''What is special about 223p? ''

you show a lack of understanding - there is nothing special about a figure of 223p,

but it is a number 5.5p above the current share price. Getting back to 'normal' would be as HFEL has been most of the time, trading at a premium, which means if normality is resumed then based on a NAV of 223p the share would be trading at about 228p

''If the new funds/new shares do not add up to increased dividends per share, why buy them? ''

cannot believe such a statement. HFEL have issued shares giving them more money to invest and you ask why. Do you not think that even as an individual it would be good to have increased new funds to invest in additional companies rather than having to sell existing assets. It is a good thing raising money at above NAV.

''footballers wages are not paid for by the TV licence, hope you can understand that''

As far as i am aware the BBC pay over £200 million to show football highlights - and of course a very large salary to an ex footballer Gary Linker and payments to other ex footballers.

Good that you contribute towards this.

''Those buying in 2018 haven't even had their money back.''

Just an example -

5 years ago HANG SENG INDEX was at nearly 29,000 - now at about 18,500

Reading some on here you would think that it is only HFEL underlying assets that have gone down in value

Share values can go down as well as up

Bot

'' it is constantly seeking new investors in order to grow its dividend''

??

They have issued new shares at a premium in the past which is a benefit. The funds raised allows for further investment opportunities. New funds/new shares does not in itself add up to increased dividends per share

Bot

''the question of what is ‘normal’ ''

Look at the price/NAV graph -NAV currently at 223p per share

''She’ll have some other tax up her sleeve''

Rachel 'Up her Sleeves Reeves'

Sir Keir 'peoples vote' Starmer apparently would prefer not to be called 'Sir'

He has flip flopped. A set of pledges to get himself the Labour leadership, then abandoned afterwards with a PM's job in mind.

Question is, what will be the changed agenda if the electorate are stupid enough to fall for it and give him the keys to number 10.

''You say you want me to answer why you want to ration my percentage of comments.''

A completely nonsensical statement.

You clearly cannot understand straightforward English.

what percentage of your posts on this site are on this board where you have 1.4% of your portfolio invested, and what percentage of posts are on other boards involving your other 98.6% of investments?

Ade

I want you to answer the questions

Ade

you appear not to be able to answer simple questions.

Percentage posts on a 1.4% of portfolio stock board

and percentage of posts on boards that involve the other 98.6 ?

''gambling that China recovers again''

not much of a gamble is it. GDP growth in 2023 is expected to be at about 4.5%

UK growth expected to be at a fraction of a percent

Ade

I repeat-

what percentage of your posts on this site are on this board, that you have very very little financial interest in?

and what percentage are on other boards?

Ade

'' there is a simpler solution''

yes for you to leave the board to those who have invested a good amount, rather than you continuously talking down (for some strange reason) /HFEL when its fortunes have virtually no consequences for you.

Ade

''1.4%.''

for fk sake - and what percentage of your posts on this site are on this board, that you have very very little financial interest in?
