My average is just over 225, but that does include divis (which I consider 'free' rather than the 2.33 or whatever price they were when HL 'bought' them) from the last few years so real average from my actual purchases is below that. So nice % return but I would just be happier if the share price grew a bit.
Question - is there any logic to say that if/when interest rates fall, money will divert to equities thus generally inflating them...and, if so, where do insurers like L&G/Aviva etc sit in what change might happen?
PAT2014 medics don't have a great reputation running things....the old adage is that you want brain surgeons to keep doing the same thing over and over again, no creativity, experimentation or imagination, not a great way to run things.
I've never understood why people carry on working in an organisation where they resent what's going on and what needs to be done. Move on, life's too short, you owe it to yourself to try harder and be rewarded, be happier and less toxic. You won't regret it.
I'd have thought you'd need a ballot before a strike.
Usually the ballot would be instigated by the union.
That is the same union who drove forward the new pension.
Obviously turkeys vote for Christmas and you have believed the fairytale!
Either you didn't sell at over £6 or you are spending a lot of time shouting in the wind on a board in which you have no skin. Either way, you'd be better off using your time ore productively.
Don't forget that different parts of the country have different economic and demographic drivers so parcel volumes will vary. Also if royal mail has more capacity in certain areas - especially if linked to a slowing demographic - then it will seem less busy but that is relative. It also means the company has potential to consolidate and reduce costs in those areas which is good for costs, reinvestment and share price positive.
An increase from 33% to 50% ie 17/33 is an increase of over 50%. If that 'rate' is maintained you'll then go from 50% to 75% in yr2 and 75% to >100% in yr 3. Of course, that is just maths, the 'rate' may change.
"if it wasn't because of the pandemic "! - Classic - you mean you don't think market conditions change all the time...just when the occasional pandemic crops up?!!
Why did you wait 18 months without a dividend, only to get out once a dividend is announced? There's no way you knew how the share price would perform over the last 18 months so what else kept you in?
Very astute of the Times to realise that RMG plc is privatised and what shareholders are...certainly worth the subscription for that 'learnin'
Probably all the PR/news articles about Royal Mail Fraud....which, of course isn't anything to do with RM....but associate a brand in a headline with 'Fraud' and people react.
Probably the smoke will clear and the price will recover as it's not actually a story about Royal Mail.
If your commercial savvy thinks RM is anything to do with PO, perhaps consider a lottery ticket instead.
'gifted'! You display, at best, an accountant's view of how changing market dynamics, competition and commercial effort manifest themselves in results.
