focusIR May 2024 Investor Webinar: Blue Whale, Kavango, Taseko Mines & CQS Natural Resources. Catch up with the webinar here.
Hi Dan, yes it's good to see the mood improving here, even if we start pushing into the 80s that would be a good start, i remember when this dropped down to 86p and i thought it was a real good bargain at the time so doubled up on the number of shares here, I't would be good to think of that as a bargain once again, let's see what this year can bring
have a good weekend all
Garonne, well let;s hope this will be the next RR then, if it does i may even buy that grumpy Daniel a drink ;-)
He was a joint winner of this weeks share prediction you know, i hope it doesn't go to his head
well done Dan & seahorse
I'm sure some of you know this has been one of my favourite dividend shares for many years and still is at the moment, however i have to admit i'm disappointed with the current SP i expected it to be a lot higher at this time of year
2023 it reached a hight of 265.80 on the day before the results which was 08/03/23 then dropped down to 226.60 by the 17/03/23 before rising back up to 252.70 on the 24/03/23 3 days before exdiv after exdiv it then dropped down to 224.10 by the 04/05/23
Of course last year and this year have had their own problems so difficult to compare, taking inflation into account though the current share price is a bit underwhelming, let's hope things improve here
gla
Garonne, just something for you to think about, RR is at a 5 year high and Vodafone is at a 5 year low, we also have 2 Wars going on high inflation and interest rates, a recession in Germany and the UK and elsewhere
But you have to decide what you think is the best decision for yourself, one very important rule is never invest more than you can afford to lose on any individual share, especially one that's been in decline for the last 5 years, hopefully this will get a lot better but it won't happen overnight, and theirs no guarantees with any shares, this may continue to be a disappointing under performing share as it's been for the last 5 years or it could change direction, who knows
best of luck though which ever way you decide to go, but do what you think is best for you
Dan promises promises ?, I hope your right though, it would improve the mood here if we could see this making it's way towards 80p
Garonnne, i was only joking of course, yes you need the patience of a saint here
best of luck
Garonne, LSE rules your only only allowed 3 moan a day, if it was any other share it would only be 1
Bad inflation figures expected to come out in the US tomorrow get your tin hats on ready
Not been a very good start to 2024 let's hope the next season will be better, i'm afraid to say to much in case Aveo tells me to sell up, but it was another anti climax here again unfortunately
Although i'm not too concerned about the current low sp, i have to be honest i would feel more confident about putting more money in here if it was a lot higher, i would have expected at least £2.60 and rising higher up to exdiv, i realise these are difficult times but Aviva seems to be rising at a much faster rate, if it can't reach a high figure at this time of year, i will be thinking how low it could drop after exdiv, come on lgen show us your muscles and keep up with inflation for us
Well all of us who have been invested here from 2018 can sympathise with the last few posts, we all know where this has been, the question is now can this increase from it's current price of 66.25p, well i hope so, i will be keeping my fingers crossed for all of us, old and new investors
Maybetoday, I will keep you company and take the dividend, unless this is over £3 by April, but very unlikely this year I think
Dan, I hope we all have a good week mate, let's hope theirs some substance in these rumours, this could be the best break we've had here for a long time, we badly need something to put a bit of a spark back into this share and something to attract the big investors
Hi ZAC, same here I currently have, fundsmith/fidelity index world/lgen future world/lgen global tech/lgen int index/lgen us index/rathbone global/and hl select uk growth, sadly the latter UK fund is the only poor performer 35% over 5 years
I want to keep the 3 UK shares that are currently in profit, that's lgen/aviv and mng just to keep some exposure to the UK, but my underperforming shares that are currently in loss, it looks like it;s going to take some time before i can sell them off without taking a loss, but will be glad to get rid of a few of them and hopefully have a portfolio of around 70% funds,
will be much easier to sell down for drawdown purposes as well, as hl don't charge for buying or selling funds
sometimes you have to learn the hard way before realising what's working best for your circumstances
Zac, all of my funds are booming at the moment except my poor performing hl select UK growth fund that's only grown by 35% in the last 5 years, being conscious though that the american markets maybe close to reaching there peak and a possibility of a pull back, what is your best performing non American funds
