Hi Fleccy Re; they don't tell you is which 5 years ?" the point i was trying to make is, when the ppi came to an end, Lloyds announced they were going to pay quarterly dividends and it looked like things were about to take off for Lloyds, then we got hit by 0ne disaster after another keeping the share price down, same with vod for those who bought when it dropped to around 110 it would seem a lot appealing, the timing has not worked in our favour with those shares, we just need some good years to see these share prices get to more worthwhile value
RE: I really don't care how low they drop, it just means I get more stock when I reinvest the dividends, leading to higher dividends at the next payout, and so on until the prices recover.
That's a good attitude from you, but i suspect for most they will be disappointed that the recovery is taking so long for these shares, let's hope we don't have to wait too much longer
cheers

Dan, we all like Fleccys very optimistic posts mate and we really want to believe, if you listen to the likes of Hargreaves Lansdowne they will tell you, be prepared to invest in a share for at least 5 years, what they don't tell you is which 5 years ?
hope we get a good up day tomorrow

sold up here just over a week ago guys, more fool me perhaps, if aviva and lgen are anything to go by they dropped a lot more than the div, but on the other hand dlg drop was less than the div, but good luck whatever you decide, it's never an easy call

Dan, it's not just vod that's taking a drop right now, my whole portfolio took a knock today and i think there's more to come, don't think we are going to see any big profits for a while, so will just enjoy the dividends as long as they keep coming, and put any selling plans on hold for a while, but you know what another poster would say, events can make a big difference, don't you give up or theirs no chance for the rest of us, things will get better but we may have to wait a bit longer maybe
hopefully a better day tomorrow
good luck

This seems to be the share that keeps on taking, i suppose the greater the gains the greater the losses ?

not a good day on the stock market guys, is this the start of what's to come over the winter ? at least there is one happy poster here today ?

roofer, this is one of the most boring shares at the moment, but sometimes boring can be ok ? because eventually it will start to move out of this 120 range and suddenly it will start to get busy on here again, but i wouldn't like to bet any money on which direction it will go with possibly a difficult winter ahead of us, as i have seen this go both ways
cheers

Yes soton, i agree, but this is my second largest holding next to Lloyds, right now lgen and aviva are the only two shares showing a good profit as well as paying good dividends, i have a few that float in and out of profit and a cple i wish i had never set eyes on, everyone's circumstances are different as we have established here, but when you get to retirement age like myself, it's a case of holding on to the ones that are looking after me, and concentrate on the under performers
GLA, hope we all have a good week

csdi hi mate, i bought back into psn myself only a cpl of k for now, will hold back now as it could go badly if house prices go into reverse, be careful about listening to some of the posters on that board, but I'm sure you know that ?

Dan, i know you was only joking but everyone loves the ceo here mate
Rzez, yes of course the choice is yours, and everyone should do what's best for them
fwiw, i think both dlg and lgen have a lot more to give, nobody know whether you will be able to buy back a lot cheaper or not, it's all a gamble but good luck

Yes Thanks roofer, i will go with the same as Fred as I've never been able to get this right, only joking 1.22 for me please
well done Fred you are amazing at this, could you pick six lottery numbers for me for Saturday please ?

This is a (Save Our Souls )message for Dan, get yourself back here please or we will all end up in the mental hospital ?

Mikey thanks for entertaining us and telling us every time the sp goes up and down, no offence but the excitement of it all is getting too much for me now, maybe you could talk to us about something else, obviously as you have sold all your shares it makes no difference to you what happens to the Vodafone share price, but it does to others who are still invested here, maybe you could talk to us about something else instead, like maybe tell us what you did after selling vodafone, did you find a better place to invest your money with better returns or something, or did you enjoy it on a nice cruise or Holiday
cheers all

Hi Dan it's laughable mate, everyone knows he has sold all of his shares, and he is just so false pretending he wants it to go up, but have never seen him so happy posting his crap all week without anyone saying anything, just waiting it out until he gets bored lol
to be fair there is nothing going on with vod at the moment, let's hope we get some sort of good news to get it going again, just gone exdiv here on lgen so understandably taken a bit of a drop, no idea what will happen to the share prices in the winter, but hopefully all the dividends will keep coming in
good luck mate

Yes very pleased to see this hit the 220 so soon after xdiv, onwards and upwards hopefully, i also have lgen and mng plus aviv/vod/lloyds and today persimmoon, i have to say lgen has always been my favourite and most reliable share out of them all. i have no idea what will happen to the share prices this winter, it's a case of try and prepare for the worst and hope for the best, but if the dividend payments hold up, at least there will be income coming in while waiting for recovery
good luck all

well please let us know if you get that crystal ball working, then you can tell us all what to do come next exdiv, seriously though, i can point you to a poster on dlg who sold the day before exdiv about a week ago hoping to buy back cheaper, but it only dropped by 2p and he was regretting it, taking into account the charges it needs to be a good drop to make it worth while, sometimes it pays off sometimes it doesn't

Re: City of London institution M&G looks ripe for a break-up , i wonder what effect that might have on the share price, good or bad ?

Likewise Gary, those dividends are great for topping up pension income or you can reinvest them, alternatively you could put your money into a growth stock that may of course do a nose dive, and you will have no income while you are trying to recover your lost capital
The choice is yours of course

Yes the winter will be a test on how well these shares can hold up for sure, but if the share prices drop then getting the dividends flowing in will be more important than ever, until hopefully the share price will eventually recover, if they ever do that is lol, just makes you wonder what can happen next, will be interesting to see how much this can rise before next exdiv, impressed with the way it's making small gains so far, hopefully the increased premiums are working
GLA

I was planning to sell myself if it hit 290, but quite happy to hold now and take the dividend

A lot of shares got knocked down today on inflation news, but dlg holding up well which was reassuring
