There seems to be a lot of old codgers on here looking for retirement income, just like myself lol, not many bargains around at the moment where you can get a good entry price and a more reliable dividend than here IMO, so if selling here where else will you put your money that gives you a better income return, please share

Denby, do you have a better place in mind to reinvest that money from your sale

Fleccy, did you invest in this one as well as lgen

Just checked, mine is in with HL

LTI, I think you spoke too soon it's dropped back again, but i know what you mean, i bought the same time as you and it's done exceptionally well

Rumpell, you are correct, hl always pay dividend on the same day, but you have to transfer it from income to your capital account if you wish to do so, or they auto reinvest from the 11th of the month, if that's what you've chosen

Aangus1, due to my own particular circumstances having recently retired, i always choose the income funds, it's still accumulating in my account, unless i spend it lol, i just like seeing the actual dividends coming into my account, but that's just personal choice of course

Gwm, artemis global income fund, if your with hl, type it into the fund search

KatieD, That kind of you to say, but i better warn you though, i can be a grumpy git on boards where I'm losing money LOL

It would be a very strange and boring World if we all had the same opinions on everything though, we can learn a lot from other investors opinions and ideas on these boards

Why the nastiness guys, ok so DC can be a bit over optimistic about the share price, no big deal about that, he is always polite and it's better than moaning all the time, I've been invested here for over 10 years and it's never been a share for capital appreciation, but if it's a reliable good income return your looking for, i can't think of a better one

Well done guys for holding on, and looking at how the share price is rising it's been worth it, alongside the great dividend from buying low, my two biggest losers since this Iran war has been house builders tw and psn, not much point in getting dividend if your losing more on your capital, still no worries here with that one,£4 seems good to me

Not a great finish to the week, never mind it's payday on Thursday, let's hope this pointless war get's ended over the weekend

have a good weekend fellow holders

Phyl, that's absolutely true mate, and the most dangerous posters are the one's who think they do lol

Rumpel, I get your logic on that as well, how we all choose to invest is personal to our own requirements/goals, some of my main income sources i choose to hold and others i may do the occasional trade, don't we all just hate it though when we invest into a new share that doesn't live up to our expectations, sometimes it's a case of better the devil you know etc. and also selling before xdiv hoping the share will drop down low again, but it keeps rising instead, the stock market can be very unpredictable, so it's up to everyone to make their own choices

GLA

Rumpel, Of course there are many ways of looking at it, if retired and wanting an income from your shares, then the lower the price you paid means you are able to buy more shares for your money, hence more income, if you were to rebuy with the same amount of money at todays price, then you would get shares for your money and less income, but i'm sure others could come up with other figures if they choose to do so, it's all about personal choices

atb

Same here, I will.just keep.holding onto this one

@DividendNomad, yes i agree i'm getting a great dividend here as i bought a lot lower, will just sit back and keep taking the dividend, not very good for anyone who has sold and was hoping to buy for a lot less though, pretty much the same story with mng,lgen,aviva, you can't have your cake and eat it as they say

Happy bunch here today, must be the heat lol, personally i always like to see the share price rise as much as possible, makes me feel I've done something right for a change when your showing a nice profit, but it's good to see it drop occasionally if you want to top up

Not far away from the all time high of £3.22 here now, looking good

gla , if there's anyone left here lol

I guess it depends on your own personal circumstances how you choose to invest, now that I,ve retired it's all about getting enough income from my shares for topping up my pension without having to sell down any shares/funds/trusts, and I regard lgen as one of the best for that purpose alongside some of my other high yielding shares, so if it's not broken why mess around with it, I like to hold on to my core holding, and just have a play around with some others
