Great income share... BBGI and HICL worth also worth a look for us retirees

RPT = Report

TBP = To be published

Presumably relating to the yields for hbr 5 and 8 yr euro denominated bonds... is my uneducated guess

@Atisha - put down the daily mail and switch off GB news, you'll feel much better when your simple little mind isn't being yanked around like a puppet on a string.

"Despite the overall gloom, not all European oil and gas stocks have been downgraded. Harbour Energy (LON:HBR) and Var Energi (OL:VAR) remain bright spots in Morgan Stanley’s analysis, with both companies retaining "overweight" ratings due to their resilient cash flow profiles and attractive dividend yields.

Harbour Energy, which recently completed a significant transformation with the acquisition of Wintershall Dea’s assets, has emerged as one of the firm’s top picks.

With a diversified portfolio spanning multiple countries, including Norway, the UK, and Argentina, Harbour Energy is forecast to deliver an impressive free cash flow yield of 16% per annum between 2025 and 2027.

In addition, the company’s hedging strategies, particularly in gas, provide a cushion against potential declines in commodity prices, ensuring that cash flows remain strong even in bearish scenarios.

Investors can also expect substantial returns, as the company is set to distribute an 8% dividend yield, complemented by a 5% share buyback program, further enhancing shareholder value."

Never seen that before, not a good sign

19 sept: "Early days but if we can punch through £2.66 on this upswing then hold above £2.56 on the next dip..."

Both of those things happened and we've just made a new high above the previous so looking really positive on the 1hr chart, starting to look like an uptrend, long may it continue:

Interesting article in the times about funding for these law suits:

@Tiger16 - You a member of home house? Visited many times with a friend who's a member, he actually got married there, lovely place.... but marylebone rather than mayfair no?

UBS maintains EasyJet at 'buy' with a price target of £8.00

3 years in this, averaging down and reinvesting divis, my break even price was 13.14p

Sold this morning at 12.14 and took the hit

Personal circumstances mean I can't tolerate this dropping back if the deal fails and not worth me risking hanging on for the 7% ish upside from here

Good luck all

"who on earth writes this *******s."

Motley Fool probably

Looks like we might have broken out of the downtrend that started from £3.09 at beginning of September.

Early days but if we can punch through £2.66 on this upswing then hold above £2.56 on the next dip...

"Anyway, unfortunately your tax free, I assume ISA nest egg is going to get obliterated by the plan to cap ISA gains."

Is there actually a plan to do this or are you just regurgitating an opinion you've been fed?

@swazers - I've got the same channel drawn on my chart too, anticipating a run up to £6.50 by march next year

I'd be surprised if we get a spike, a .25% cut is pretty much already priced in... but you never know

Damn, wish I'd bought more of these

My money is on a 0.25% cut this time and 0.5% next if inflation remains under control

The UK budget and US election are holding things back atm imo, if we get positive outcomes for those then we should see better progress, fingers crossed.

I'm in it for the divi so if that's sustained I don't care too much about the share price, but it's always nicer to be in profit of course.
