Not that anyone will remember or care but my three close family members (who I put onto RR ) had a grope, I mean group discussion,

and sold at around 1.385 ish.. at the opening salvo of President Trump sending the US Armada to the Middle East.. which was a huge

disappointment to say the least. I may be back but until then it's back to day trading wherever. Another thing I hadn't realised in the

last budget, Rachael in Accounts put income tax on cash sitting in stock and share ISA's ..dumb as a rock.

Price of gold and silver and rising bond yields are making some people a little jittery.

That's funny , I bought 7,817 shares @76.75 cost £6k timed at 14.54 and it came up as a sell here..

I'm seeing $16.10 close on Market Watch as well.

Quite right Rhino 38. As I said yesterday though the facts lean towards Farage being a controlled opposition asset, (GB News being : "primarily funded by its holding company, All Perspectives Ltd, which is backed by investors including British hedge fund manager Sir Paul Marshall and the Dubai-headquartered investment firm Legatum. Sir Paul Marshall is the main owner, with Legatum also a significant investor.") Sir Paul, began his journey down the yellow brick road to riches with the aide of £25million from none other than George Soros. Globalist/Corporatists all to their fingertips. Still, we can only hope that Farage would go some way towards moving that Overton window somewhat back towards a semblence of sanity, in the way President Trump achieving in the US. What we're stuck with for the next four years with the WEF lackey Stutter is a catastrophy. And don't get me started on Blaire and his Tony Foundation.

Which reminds me, I posted this piece here the other day and forgot to copy/illustrate a little private email debate I was having with someone . Pretty good, as far as it goes was my verdict.

Farage is ultimately another gatekeeper of the so called far right wing of the permanent state. But I agree on balance he would be a

better option.

"Who would possibly employ Millipede

Any company he lets in through the back door. " Fascism. Benito Mussolini's own definition; the merging of state and corporations.

Not that I'm superstitious, but don't wish to tempt fate...

Another thing, I noticed some here are recommending other shares. Well as (I'm sure) everyone will recall, I posted here sometime in June 23, saying I'd just taken a small punt (just over a grand's worth each) on EDEN and RBW - that my brother told me were sure fire! Well as of today I'm still with these, and down £635 on EDEN, but up £707 ON RBW. Last week, he said MET1 and MET are winners.. But I only went for another £1k from my RR dividend today on MET1 - and that's up by over £90 since this mornng. Overall I'd say he's done a just a little better on my RR tip. Also our sister's boy and his girl are happy bunnies. By the way accessing the dividens from HL is a matter of a few clicks; go to "Transaction History," then fill in "Income and Loyalty Bonus" and you're there in a few seconds to reinvest or whatever. Happy to help and OF COURSE DYOR X

Meant to say I had an existing ISA account and then converted most of it into an ISA and shares account. Also Forgot to say I did then open another SIPP myself, after going into Drawdown; which I'm still withdrawing from, (up to my annual tax allowance, as I've been gainfully un-employed for years, doing this trading malarkey basically). Then in my new SIPP, I continue to contribute to it, up to my permitted annual amount, for the tax rebate from the Government. And unless HL have given me some dodgy information, with this new SIPP, I can at any time either buy an annuity, or withdraw another 25% tax free from the accumulated funds...and this can continue up to the age of 75 apparently. Swings and roundabouts really..and anyway last Budget, didn't blubbering Rachael from accounts, put an end to the tax free transfer to family, in the event of one shuffling off this mortal coil prior to the age of 75?

Nettles, as you know there are a number of options to consider with a SIPP, apart from taking out an annuity, when you reach 57 that is. I never seriously considered buying an annnuity, as it just seemed too final a step to take. And as you say, who knows how long any of us will be around, to break even or profit from the deal. (Bear in mind also that from Thursday, the BOE reduced interest rates; so anyone considering this option right now will likely have to settle for 025% less via their annuity brokers). A few years ago, I took 25% tax free at the age of 55. The rest automatically went into "Drawdown," and I continue to buy and sell stocks there as normal; not least Rolls Royce, which made me back my 25%... Shortly before that, I opened an ISA account and started depositing my maximum allowance every tax year - and it's where I hold the bulk of my RR shares now. But did you know that in addition to an existing "Drawdown" account, you can in addition, open an entirely new and separate SIPP - and continue to deposit up to £10,000 per annum into it, and still receive your (commensurate) Tax Relief?

The rise yesterday could have been buyers getting in to qualify for the dividend. Today is ex dvidend day (according to my HL account anyhow), but unless I'm mistaken, sellers today still get the dividend so an additional factor in the drop today?

Well, I clicked 'post message' before getting to the actual point of my last message here, which I tend to do - but it was past 4.30 am after all.. and now I've forgotten what I was going to say again..oh yes, some existential angst over whether to hold till we get to £12 in December, and is that now too modest a goal in view of the Sunday Times piece? I thank you

Don't wish to tempt fate so I'll only say I've had enough birthdays - and made a lot more dosh with RR than I need. The luck of the draw you might say. PS I resisted the temptation on EEE.

Caveat, I am looking out for (additional) investment opportunities, until it's time to sell though. Some are saying sell by December when it supposedly reaches £12.00.. we'll see.

Same here I switched to HL in 2013 intially for my SIPP and then for their ISA stock and shares platform. A lot of funds still in Rolls Royce; haven't traded this share for ages and though tempted yesterday, the moment passed.

Tempting. closest I've got to selling this share today.

Number 3) I thank you.
