I forgot to mention, altough I'm sure everyone thinks like this, as I buy at a lower SP, I effectively get a better return on my investment. My personal SP in effect alters the % dividend I recieve on that investment, not on the current value of the stock held, but on my origional purchase price. To use an extreem as an example, If we both hold a stock with a current value of £100 per share, and you bought now at £100, but I bought 5 years ago at £50 per share, in effect I get twice the dividend return as you when calculated against how much that stock has cost us both. Hence I want to buy as low as possible and hold for many years. Hopefully as the years pass the SP also increases, so I get a double win.
I'm not sure I have put this very well, and its a bit more complicated than that but hopefully you get the idea of my rational.

It wont be instant, but may show up in the next set of company results.
That is where you might see a positive impact on the SP.
I know we all like to discuss the SP, but unless I'm looking to buy or sell does it really make any difference, its just a barometer.
I'm confident they are making enough money to pay the dividend, the bills and maintain a small war fund.
Nothing much has changed, its a cash machine.

That is also my takeaway at the moment from the material I have read.
I think its going to take 3 or 4 weeks to reveal the true data, but so far it looks good.
My biggest concern at the moment is if it has a more effective infection rate, will that also allow for a faster evolution of new variants.
We are without doubt in a better position now as more is known about Covid, and there is more experience in businesses regarding dealing with any restrictions.
My current view based on the limited information I have is that the best case scenario is;
Higher infection rate.
Low impact of resulting infection.
Low impact on businesses.
Moderate to high negative impact on markets in the short term.
Low impact on the markets medium and long term.

I already hold the other stocks you mention amongst my 21 stock portfolio.
I try and spread my funds throught my stocks, and add if I percieve an opportunity to find value.
ULVR appears good value at the moment. I like you alreaday hold 306 shares, and reinvest the dividends.
Below £39 looks good value, and I am watching this SP with a view to perhaps adding more.

It does that itself.

Its like running through mud m8

Unlike The Boomtown Rats, I do like Mondays.
Friday my stocks were down a little over £8k, so far they have regained a little over £5k.
Glad I didn't lock in the loss by trying to sell and buy back lower today.

I'd be doing cartwheels down the street if it made 5p next year, never mind £5 lol

Well I've got in excess of £300k invested through Halifax, not sure what applies to you but if LLOY goes pop, the reciever might charge me the standard fees for transfer of stocks at a reasonable rate, which isn't much. However I believe I would simply pay the usual transfer fee to my new broker as you would under normal circumstances.
If unsure I suggest you seek financial advice for peace of mind.

While on this subject, when spreading money around to keep within the FCS limit, make sure the institutions are seperate, some institutions appear didifferent but are actually owne by one parent company. In that instance even if you had several accounts. for example if you had accounts at Halifax, Bank of Scotland, Scottish Widows, Schroders Personal Wealth, MBNA, Black Horse and Birmingham Midshires, they are all part of LLOYDS so your total cover accross all accounts would only be £85,000.

At least it looks like the Friday madness has abated and the SP is regaining some of its losses.

ADM looks to be recovering nicely, as expected Friday was an over reaction to a risk that was largely already built into the SP.

It only makes sense if on TORO you do not actually own stocks, like trading CFDs or something similar, with conventional stockbrokers like HL, Halifax etc. you own actual stocks.
This means if the broker goes bust, its only the cash held that is at risk, as you own the stocks. The stocks owned would simply be transferred to another account.
I assume that is why TORO needs insurance.
I don't know for sure though, just trying to make sense out of it.

Well it looks like after Fridays over reaction, normal service has been resumed.

Glad I'm way off, stronger day in general than I expected.
I do so love it when I'm wrong in a good way.

I agree that unless there is some negative news this will continue to drift back up, but I dont think it will see 49p in the next 3 to 4 weeks. Once there is a clear view of Omicron and its impact, I think it will then move past the 50p resistance.

Is this really going sub £39.
I'm going to have to find some free funds to buy a few more if it does.
I can get a buy at £39.01 as I type.
The trouble is if I start to think it could go sub £38, surely not.
