Yeah Tim nice jump following the news - Pretty relaxed hanging on here whilst re-investing the juicy div. Bank rate looks like sticking here for a while so a little patience required.
By the way you from Tickhill near Doncaster?
Me too - topped up twice since xmas to bring my average down below 110 - Happy to sit and take the pretty safe and attractive divs - Pretty sure the SP will turn a corner once interest rates decline
High and low for any information about the possible recall later this year - Nothing out there
Not sure when Lloyds are required to declare this or perhaps with the BOE rates this high it makes sense to them to let them run until the next call date
I'm not saying the country doesn't need change Sair, clearly it does. But I don't think Starmer and his front bench are the answer - Now Blair and the quality he had in his cabinet was a different story- Be careful what you wish for
GWM - There's no guarantees of course but CTY's record of raising dividends and paying out through thick and thin is pretty impressive. A 5% yield might not sound too sexy right now but when the cycles changes (and it will) A consistent and rising 5% div will look pretty attractive. If you read the CTY prospectus the directors state that they recognise the importance of dividends to their investors - I like that because it means their modus operandi is aligned with mine.
This is not advice....... But you could take a look at AEI, again an impressive divi record that is higher than CTY which is also consistently paid, albeit without CTY's incredible longevity. From a sleeping at night perspective AEI mostly invests in large blue chip companies so generally moves up and down with the market, but is not for investors who consider ESG i.e. tobacco, oil, mining etc
Nonsense Easy,
If you're white and born in the west you're already a winner in life's lottery. Making the most of that id down to an individuals life choices.
The UK's troubles along with the rest of the developed world won't improve one iota if Corbyn's crony Starmer gets in. And I won't even wade in on Labours front bench.
Could be a lot lower when the impending recession arrives. 2 years of interest rate rises are just starting to bite and the BOE will be too slow to lower rates just as it was too slow to raise them when even my daughters hamster knew inflation was upon us.
Zac I think it depends on your reason for investing - If you're seeking growth these probably aren't really for you.
If like me however you're retired and seek a decent but more importantly a reliable income (not guaranteed but the div record here is impressive), then CTY fit the bill perfectly.
Of course with the current BOE rates, the c. 5% div looks mediocre, but you don't have to go back to far to when gilts yielded almost nothing.
Nonsense and a tad arrogant skier - If most people voted the same as their parents the government would never change. Massive swings like Blair in 97 would never happen.
Give people some credit - Yes lots of fools out there but not everyone
