What about you Dan, you have been investing a long time, have you ever shorted a share? and is it a profitable thing to do, I wouldn't know how to do it myself, is it something worth looking up

Hi Dan, fair comment, of course I support vod and any other share that can hopfully give us a profit, that's what We're all hoping for, just looks like we may have to wait a bit longer
Best of luck mate

Thank you guys for your thoughts on this, it seems some are thinking it could go lower like myself, but also agree with eccles, seems good value now with a great dividend, and very tempting to add, if only we had a crystal ball

Hi Dan, think everyone is just getting a bit fed up with taking big hits at the moment, myself included, but nothing we can do about it, but the budget has not gone down well with the stock markets, massive borrowing with the rich being the bigger gainers is obviously not going down well, could be the Tories undoing perhaps, we will see how that works out, politics not a great topic for here perhaps, but it has been the cause of all the stock market drops Friday and today so understandable. Let's hope it all settles down and we start seeing more up days
cheers Amigo

Oldham,RE: loving the negativity, tells me we are near a bottom in the markets. you may want to have a rethink on that mate, don't think it's even got started yet

whoever has taken Dan's dummy from him, can you please give it back lol
Dan at least nobody is blaming nick reed at the moment mate

According to hl dividend yield now at 11.93%, trading announcement in November, what are your thoughts here guys, worth another top up or further to drop for dlg?
cheers

Thanks poker, best leave it a while then, my largest holding is lloyds and my second lgen, interest rates may work in my favour for once

Hi roofer, just holding all dividends in account, bit dissapointing seeing them drop, holiday Inn i gran canaria needed i think, to switch off from the stock markets, great to see the dividends coming in though, and sure be this one will get up there eventually, it by usually does
Cheers

Roofer, spend i wisely, Like a nice holiday in the sun?
Nice to get some rewards from these shares
Enjoy all

1.03 for me please, thanks roofer

a turnaround in a year sound much better to me, difficult time for investors with all this crap going on in the world, we just need to be patient and not make any hasty decisions, some good news like inflation under control or an end to this dreadful war, and things could change very quickly, well overdue to have some good times now i think

just seems like this new government is trying to up their popularity for the next general election, but a budget mainly for the rich, could be their undoing perhaps?

Dan, I thought that was brilliant and very humorous from Mikey, well done mate
But as i got picked on because of Gary
Gary, i think you should give up on the psychiatry and stick to the shares mate lol
have a great weekend all

Roofer, so who was the gold award winner of this week's predictions then, you didn't say ??? well done to the winner, i will get it one week, i will not be beaten lol

Hi Mole, RE: but I fear a long cold winter for all assets, and I wouldn’t want to be trying to retire on equity gains in the next couple of years though.
I have to agree most of my shares are dropping right now, first two of my shares to take the biggest drop due to inflation etc. are directline and vodafone and pretty sure there will be others that will follow the same trend, good thing is though they are so far all still paying full dividends, which will make the long road to recovery a lot easier, if you still have that income adding to the portfolio while waiting for some sort of stock market recovery, will definitely be a big help i think, the largest share in my portfolio, which has been a big disappointment, which is Lloyds bank maybe the one that will benefit the most from high interest rates, it's a case of survival of the fittest with the shares at the moment
Hope the rest of you are doing well, it's a case of grin and bear it for me lately

Sorry Mikey, I didn't think anyone noticed and thought i might get away with it, promise i will put my thinking cap on before i post again, nice to see you having a joke though, you have a nice weekend as well

Fela, not being funny but if you think it will take 10 years to see a profit here, you need to ask yourself is it worth it?

Same here, very tempting, but feel theres worse to come

Total carnage today, maybe we should get Boris back ?

Hi mole, i get what your saying, would be good to recover some losses here though, not a good time for any shares at the moment, let's hope something good happens to turn to things around, a bull market will come sometime, but expect we will have a long wait
Cheers
