Nelly you need to read his statement again.......... spot the &

Shame the div only held this time - Hey ho maybe next time

I do so enjoy watching the div dodgers at work - It's not for me but I wish them well, more than one way to skin the proverbial.

Interesting this time around, IMB are on an upward trend right now and the Omicron outbreak came to their rescue last time

I've said it many times Neil. it takes monumental good news to move the needle here - I've never understood it

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

Are you sure about that Norrab?

I didn't want to call anybody out Casa but that's precisely what I thought - Trouble is does than mean on a 10x multiple the outfit is only worth c. £40b?

There's been a couple of positive articles recently but the SP seems to be stuck around this mark.

Suppose I'll have to sit back and enjoy the juicy dividend for now

Hi Alex,
Can I ask how you've come up with the £100b valuation?
As far as I can see the cobined profit for the combined groep is £4b per year - c. 67% for GSK = £2.68b
Cheers

That people on here are selling based on low capital appreciation? I didn't think many people got in here expecting this to be a growth story........ The 50+ years div record is another story though

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"?

Woodford was one of the reasons I first got into IMB (and the fat div)

Since then neither has faired well

Every chance q4 results will blow the lights out pasty - Not long to wait now, Feb 3rd

Agreed Tim, 75% is a risk - I tend to aim for 5% but will go to a maximum 10% - It's an age thing

You generally get what you pay for

Selling Tim? I'm staying put, I like their strategy and I'm nearly back above water with the SP. The div is jam all the way

I agree tricky - If the SP plays ball, just 4 more years and I'm in this share for free. Praise the lord for ethical investors

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
