c. 33% gain, not too dusty Tim
I think you're right, any capital increases will be low and slow but an increased div will suffice for me. I primarily invest for income so fingers crossed. Plus REIT's often do well when inflation soars so here's hoping
I may have posted the odd comment on the IMB board haha - Mainly having a nip at the divi dodgers. They've rallied recently but so have almost everything else..... except REIT's
If you bought in around the 60's well done - I bought some then but sadly was only averaging down......Did your Ex's dad also mention "taking profits" or "taking some money of the table"?
Every chance q4 results will blow the lights out pasty - Not long to wait now, Feb 3rd
the l&g tech SP growth is impressive but since I retired I tend to aim for trusts that consistently pay a decent div and meet my other objectives. It works for me, since I retired (in 2013) and started drawdown my pension has grown by c. 7% and I've taken 4% each year. Of course I've missed out on a lot of the high growth tech sector over the last few years but done quite well with Pharma
Hi Giraffe, they typically average around 4% but it fluctuates of course with SP movement. CTY are also my favourite and my biggest holding. Their div record is amazing, through thick or thin they have increased their div for 50+ years
I don't worry too much about the charges if the investment meets my objectives.
It's a tough one Nelly, I'm in exactly the same boat because I invest primarily for income with the odd punt on some spicier stuff. More recently when I've sold stock I've moved more and more into trusts that have a good div record and pay a decent %. There are loads to trawl through but my 3 favourites are JPM MATE, JPM JETI & City of London CTY - All pay c. 4% and have a good record.
Bit boring yes and not for the pups, but I sleep well at night
I share your pain shatter. This stock could test the patiance of the proverbial saints, God only knows how many times I've hovered my finger over the sell button over the last 7-8 years or so.
But I think accusing the current BOD of "dithering" is wrong. Just look at what's happened over the last 12 months or so, hardly dithering? Albeit the lack of news is frustrating.
I've decided to stay the course although I swore to myself I would sell once I got my head back above water (c.420 after averaging down from 520) - But I can't help thinking that we are on the cusp of something at long last. I could be wrong of course haha
