This is most certainly not advice, just my take on you question.
I hold 25573 shares of LGEN with an average price of £2.3540 including costs. I have had a position in LGEN since November 2020 when my first buy averaged £2.0370. I cannot envisage my portfolio not having this stock included. I still buy occasionally, however I tend to reinvest the dividends elsewhere as its the 3rd largest single holding in my portfolio. The dividend on my investment sits at 9.09%, but if I bought today it would equate to around 8.21%. If you can buy this on any dips below £2.59 I think you will do well over the medium to long term (5 to 10 years+).
I hold 29425 shares of MNG with an average price of £2.0207 including costs. I have had a position in MNG since December 2021 when my first buy averaged £1.9320. I will continue to hold, and it has rewarded me well, however at current prices I tend to reinvest the dividend elsewhere as it is the 2nd largest single holding in my portfolio. I hold this purely for the dividend, however I am sitting on a 'paper' capital gain of just under £25k. The dividend on my investment sits at 9.75%, but if I bought today it would equate to around 6.87%.
If you intend to hold for medium to long term I think you will do well, but I don't think you should expect the returns I have achieved over the last 5 years or so to be repeated in the next 5 years.

I don't hold PHNX, although I thought about it a few months ago and am kicking myself for not buying at the time. I feel I missed the boat and probably won't buy now.
I don't hold TW.
I hold 36283 shares of NESF with an average price of £0.6666 including costs. I have had a position in NESF since June 2025 when my first buy averaged £0.6593. I'm sitting on a paper loss of £6,173.19, so I'm hardly happy. However the NAV (unaudited) sits at £0.9170 so hopefully that allows a margin to regain my losses. I have had 1 dividend of £761.94, which I reinvested elsewhere. If the dividend isn't cut and the SP does not change I should reach break even with the dividends in about 18 months. Given the NAV I wouldn't say absolutely do not buy, but I think there is a reasonable chance the dividend may be reduced, but even if halved it would still be 6%+. If you can buy below £0.50 it may be a good investment, but bear in mind I thought it was a good investment when I bought in, now I not quite so sure. I think if the base rate continues to fall over the next 2 years this my do very well but in the short term I think there may well be a bit more pain to come.
I hold 23764 shares of SUPR with an average price of £0.8051 including costs. I have had a position in SUPR since October 2025 when my first buy averaged £0.8026. This is a very recent purchase and I think it will be a steady Eddy for dividends, but don't expect much growth.
