Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Along with the relaxing stance on cannabis...Canada today went for full legalisation for personal use for adults below 30g....UK talking initially of medicinal legalisation...let's see where this ends
Big tobacco for years have been keen to tap the cannabis market...but legislation world wide prohibitive....until now?? Canada just gone down full legalisation today....UK talking initially about medicinal legalisation....if the laws start relaxing it will be a massive growth kicker for the big boys
As soon as interest rates start to tick up, the pension deficit will start to melt away....clearly will be increased by BT's extra payments. Five yrs from today this company will be in a much much better place. However, we have to accept the next 12-18 months won't be pretty....but that gives us the opportunity of a cheap buy in price. Once the story changes, green shoots start appearing, pension deficit reducing, efficiency savings kick in then many people will want in at @ £2 per share.....only it won't be close to £2:) At this price we are getting g paid to take the negative story headlines.....it's the same reason I'm in VOD..but do hold alot more of them....and with a slightly progressive dividend (2-4%) are slightly more attractive but on a higher P/E than bt. I don't really think you can go wrong with either
Just catching up here....am long on bt. Probably already mentioned but new CEO will kitchen sink the business starting with say 50% dividend cut....to be fair no bad thing....same happened in Aviva @ 5 yrs ago...made the company much stronger....we will just need a 3-5 yr window to see +400p.....but come it will....that alone will offset dividend reduction. Normally I would resent such changes...but as a holder here I think it best for long term growth.
Just one reason our share Price is crumbling....among many related to the brexit mess http://news.sky.com/story/european-businesses-advised-to-avoid-using-british-parts-ahead-of-brexit-11395908
Suf, don't lose heart. Have a look at any decent UK equity fund then look at the top 10 holdings of that fund. Lloyd will appear in most....and for good reason, good dividend, growing dividend, increasing profits and in 12 months nearly ppi will be gone. Your contacts should phone all the big UK equity funds to warn them :)....seriously...this has gotta be safer than centrica ( which we both hold :))
Really hope it does... I exited today very thankful for a 96p uplift per share in a month. Didn't really want to but I can see some uplift in VOD once the markets calm.I really bought for the long term....bloody thing ran too fast :) If this ever tracks back to 6 quid I'm back in. I hope keeps climbing for you....as I said, I like this company..
Lloyd is languishing and to be fair I can't honestly see why looking at the metrics...topped up again with 2k at 63.5p. I like to try and keep a balanced portfolio but Lloyd now makes up 42%..... I hope I'm not missing something:) Appreciate brexit is a bind, but either way in a decade from now we will no doubt be back in so just a short/ mid term distraction

I agree food tastes great...but stopped buying it about 6 months ago for the sake of my kids.....the great taste comes from the exorbitant amount of salt/ saturated fat in their ready meals ( lasagna/spaghetti bol etc) right through to their sandwiches......have a look next time you shop....the figures they quote are for half a portion Tastes lovely but seriously unhealthy
