Maybe a point for the fsa to review their rules not sure hl can be blamed for Woodford having a portfolio of illiquid cash flow funds the outgoings have been steady for over a year so it does not take a rocket scientist to extrapolate they made need cash if their performance did not pick up to get more inflows The market has been very bad in the last 6 weeks so caught them out - painful but if they payout in a month for all those who want to sell that will be helpful I still plan to hold with the fund to give it time to recover unless their charges are unreasonable! Thank goodness for a balanced portfolio!!
The trouble is Woodford had a fantastic record to give up on him to early then him smash the numbers?! With these things it’s a difficult call- but yes directors selling without bringing that to those invested through hl was something they should have done. But if Woodford is given time he might still surprise us but with credibility suspect may not get a second chance
The poor performance of the Woodford was clear for some time clearly shown on the hl site I sold all my Woodford capital fund about a year ago and in a better performing fund in the hl top 50 and been very happy with that. Left my holding in Woodford income as l thought less risk and the underlying stocks where ok - not very happy with Woodford putting the higher risk bio companies in the fund. But will hold as l think in 5 years the capita and other stocks should do better than they have done and locking in loses now feels like a mistake. Bought more HL as l believe well oversold although would like a slightly higher dividend!!!!
Will buy more if it drops over sold People could see Woodford performance was not good I think he can turn it around so hl giving support but with full disclosure was playing it straight I have been very impressed by hl and will top up maybe latter today or in a few days when the panic sellers increase the bargain !!
great company - will top up if pulls back - a bit of a hit probably because of woodford- but this fund out of the 50 now.
still happy to hold Woodford as I think the underlying stock will do ok in the long run .
H &L a great model I think we are seeing the start of the big pull back with all the uncertainty but with good dividends and knowing I would get the timing wrong on selling out and buying back at the next bottom happy to see it play out
and 10 pc in cash!!!
government and political parties cant agree on anything so no direction /management.
on this basis the sfo should bring charges or close the investigation.
look what trump is doing to try and defend usa firms. all we do is investigate companies and take years doing it !! its pathetic ..
Invested 10% of portfolio Feel this has turned and just needs to breakthrough £6 Very comfortable to hold for the long term Probably not add more as already overweight but will add any dividend payment and just hold!!!!
with debt down, being pessimistic is the safe option for the board.
with director topping up shares this looks a great long term buy
bulk holding 17% down at the moment but two small top ups 17% and 24% up
slow build to £10 fantastic !!!!
sold out at small lose but hope all those that are still in make some money.
got to the point did not have confidence that blvn can deliver anything more than 40p
so glad I quadrupled down and when it went up to almost my break even price sold
