and of course thats not because he gives a **** about mortgage payers (he and his ever smirking side kick have recently been quite happy to hit em all with higher taxes). its because there are a lot of em that will be bearing a grudge and the ge is getting closer. god forbid a politician does anything for the long term good rather than his own short term survival. lots of tax give aways coming up. whether we can afford em or not is irrelevant there is a ge to be won so trussenomics is ok for now.

god forbid bailey does anything - he's always the wrong option

Sunak has apparently ordered banks to protect borrowers from surging mortgage rates. Not sure how they do that but it looks like you can forget your 'no govt interference'

Agree. Cant abide that constant self satisfied sneering grin of the bloke. I find him detestable and as theaky says his tax policies seem designed to deter investment in the UK. If so they are about the only thing hes ever got right. Maybe as a remainer he wants us to join the EU in recession

Bit late Hunty. Harbour has gone along with its investments, jobs and numerous other businesses. You keep taxing and they will keep leaving - check your history and your psychology text books. My history book says you were hopeless as health secretary nobody knows who gave you this job to similarly make a balls of. It was underhanded and behind closed doors for certain.

Captain

100% ditto. I was expecting much better and as Cmouk says - my money would have earned more in a bank.

Down we go again.

The sp hasnt recovered from the fall in August last year. Dont really understand why such a fall today. Cant be bothered to check but the new facility must be close to commissioning. If that doesnt give us a lift then I think I will be calling it a day. There seems to be a distinct lack of interest/confidence for some reason. Surprising seeing as there is a continuous cry about the storage of renewables.

I dont understand why you would be happy to buy when you think your money would be better off in the bank ?

What makes you think that?

In the red again at the mo. Today isnt going to plan again.

Not on my board it aint

Close to 490. Getting on for a loss of 8%. This is some fall for better than predicted profits !! Very strange

b&b oportunity? For inside traders maybe!!

Happy
About 24p per share at the moment :-)

Wow thats a long time - about as long as Ive been investing. I havent held any for quite that length of time. You must be content. What was the predecessor to HFEL?

Ok Bud. I was only using JDW as an example - I could have chosen many. Im obviously aware that this is the HFEL board. but if we are getting that pedantic then you crack on - its obviously not up for discussion. Im pleased you have made a lot of money with Amazon et al. I wasnt saying anything about my personal investing or that I had made 600% or whatever. - just as an example. Try not to be so precious lad.

I know Mr Buffet sings the praises of compounding but then he is Mr Buffet. If I had his dosh and his insight into companies then so would I. I wonder how many HFEL he has held since 2008?

Me too around 3 yrs with HFEL. Yes divi in 2008 12p. Sp around 220p. eg JDW (upto covid) sp increased 600% from 2008. £10,000 in JDW in 2008 £60.000 in 2020 without divi or compounding. If I had put my HFEL divi into JDW instead of re investing would I not be better off? Just IMO compounding is a bit of a blind alley if the sp aint going anywhere a la HFEL. Reinvesting say £1k at 300 dont look so smart at 250 - but just mo.

I can think of quite a few companies where investors may take a different view. Compounding profits is good. Compounding losses is not so good. I frequently let my divis accumulate in a cash a/c and then buy in a company which has the best prospects. I still see that as compounding.
