Hello soton, the only downside I see with that trust is the ongoing 1.6% management fees

Hope all, going well with you

Garronne, do yourself a favour and sell up like I've done, yes I'm sure the sp will rise albut at a snails pace, but you can get double the dividend elsewhere and arguable more growth

But good luck to all long term holders here

Not selling myself, but hoping to add quite a bit more for the income pot, not sure if it will drop low enough though, might have to wait until after exdiv to buy around the 2.30 ish, but anything can happen, aviv,phnx,mng are also too high for adding at the moment, has been a good year for the insurers, but won't be complaining about that

Well throne, i'm invested in mng,lgen,aviv,phnx,tw,psn and i think most people will agree they have been very good shares for dividend income, especially if your a codger like myself who uses dividend income to supplement your state pension, however i have to say lgen has been amongst the most disappointing with regards to capital appreciation so far, so i guess it depends on what price you can buy in for, i also have around 45% of my portfolio in tech tracker funds, the big question is which will give the best returns over the next 5 years, so maybe it's worth keeping a balanced portfolio ?

will also be interested in other posters views in this regards

The time for ramping up a share is when it's rising, not when it's dropping because you don't know how far or for how long it will keep dropping, get real guys, if your losing more in capital than your getting in dividends, that's not good

Well I do hope we don't have to wait until after the next general election for this to go back up over a £1, it's in freefall at the moment

Interesting, but not sure what that's got to do with uk wind farms

Where's the bottom going to be with this one, just keeps on dropping

Mng/lgen/phnx/aviva etc. Are basically high yield stocks to hold for income, however if your lucky enough to buy low or add on the dips, you can also get capital appreciation and add extra value, I use tech funds for growth

Just my opinion

Good luck

Dc, well done you picked a couple of winners there, I'm loving this one in particular, what was that third one you was looking at

Dan, as long as the share price keeps rising I'm sure everyone will be happy, i sold off in the 80s then some more in the 90s, i will hold onto the rest until it gets well over a £1

Good luck all

I will have a festive drink to that Ben, fingers crossed we see this moving north

😊

Hello Dan, RE: what's not to like, well the dividend yield of 4.21% pretty much what you can get in a bank account, there are other shares paying double that yield, but absolutely this has come a long way from the old value of 64p, so hopefully it will keep going and break past the £1 soon

best of luck all mate

And yet despite the ramping by some here the share price keeps dropping, and in the real World that is what matters, hope it turns around soon

Sales should pick up soon, the unemployed with six kids should easily be able to afford to buy new houses now

Condom sales will drop though ?

Lol

Added some more here today as the price seems very low at the moment, so hopefully it will soon be back £1 plus

Dc, good evening, I agree lgen and mng are two reliable income shares, I have to admit though I was hoping lgen might have dropped below 2.30 briefly around budget time, then I would have added more, never mind will look forward to next years dividend payments, and see how high they will go

That's very good, but how much are you down on your capital ?, just saying if you have capital appreciation as well as dividends then it's a win win, it's the total returns that matter the most

I actually think this is a good income share to hold in a portfolio and i'm all for adding value on any dips, but in the long term you always want to share to keep rising

bunsen, you say you might add another 200k here, nobody in their right mind would invest that amount in any single share, and oh wish it down, btw i have never invested in carillian, have you ? keep on dreaming

have a nice day

sam, i have heard that type of bull**** many times on the vodafone board, where the share price was in decline for 10 years, and a few times on the decline journey the dividend got cut, long time investors there will probably never recover their losses, he is a fantasist, ignore him
