''Do check my math''

I have - it is 'maths' in the UK

yes, a large number of shares dropping out of the market again in 2023 is looking more likely with the excellent start.

down to 66,686,047,352.

I imagine a few new shares have been added recently if 3 year SAYE schemes had matured during the last few weeks.

What will the 2023 share repurchase scheme end up getting the number down to - every bout of the jitters helps as does the cum 1.6p dividend expiring - only 2 weeks left to purchase and receive nearly 3.5% .

do you think your depression has anything to do with memory problems?

Brix
sorry to hear of your depression - maybe the doctor can give you something in the short term, but other therapies may be available these days to help you out ?

on the cards.

With the help of an extended jittery period following SVB etc, the UBS driver is still on the same track. Looking at the moment, that will remain the case whilst having spent a good deal of the £2 Billion.

''Plenty of jobs available currently - if that were to still be the case in the coming years with inflation hopefully back under control, incomes should then at least keep pace with inflation.''

now that there is no longer an open door to East Europeans which greatly contributed to the suppression of UK wages verses inflation for many years

'' it has diminished the UK as a place for investing in the eyes of international investors.''

most of the UK market is owned by overseas investors.
It is the UK financial institutions that have given the UK market a wide berth for many years

Increasing incomes a great deal at a time of high inflation is not the way to curb inflation.

Plenty of jobs available currently - if that were to still be the case in the coming years with inflation hopefully back under control, incomes should then at least keep pace with inflation.

Most pension schemes in the private sector have an upper limit on yearly increases, which has meant large real term cuts in pension payments.
Inflation needed to be stamped on as quickly as possible, which is why I have said that the MPC increased rates too slowly at the start on the cycle.

''This month after years of not missing payments 2 tenants have only part paid...stating they are struggling financially.
The effects of high rates have not started yet...''

that would be nothing to do with high base rates.
High rates are to curb inflation.

''They will be back at 3% or lower before years out.''
If that were the case, then that would have meant much lower inflation, easing pressure on spending power.

''this could fall under £1 in a flash.''

you said that Tesco would plummet 6 months ago when I purchased some - now well up.
Your track record with negative posts on stocks that you do not own may give comfort to shareholders

''Raking in a +9% dividend per year is utterly pointless when the share price falls -10% a year.''

the only share prices that are relevant are purchase and sale prices . The difference in a share price between any given timeline is a pointless exercise to highlight.

I made a purchase in October at under 243p - the price reached about 297p in January - a 20% increase in just 3 months - just another example of a pointless highlighting of a timeline.
You appear to be continuing to beat the same drum on a number of stocks. Maybe you need an alteration in your thought processes.

HFEL over many years had risen from about 50p to about 370p - then Covid 19 hit.
It would be very surprising to hear of many investors making their first and only purchase at the 370p level .

why the need for a third id when you already have 2 in operation

in the future will mean I will be making fewer sales or none at all ,of shares outside an ISA - only more bought.
I had already started trading mainly in my ISA this financial year - most of the 35 stocks I hold are held in and out of an ISA so not really a problem.

Good to have SB profits tax free - I may even consider using them more for longer term holds.

''earning nowt in interest ''

your memory yet again.
I must have said a few times that I keep cash in IG and my HSBC share dealing account and that I get zero interest.
