Well we are lucky it stayed up Mikey, all my other shares have taken a hit today, holding cash back for top ups, but i think it's far too early yet
So how is retirement, i have that to look forward to very soon

it was that ticker code i was after, will take a look at it later
Thanks

So how do you get the merchant trust through hl

Cheers guys, of course I'm fully aware of risks, what's working well today, may not work well tomorrow etc.
But some good suggestions from you guys worth looking into thanks

Carnage with the ftse and this one is holding up well

That's an interesting link to aic, usually use dividend data, thanks sd235, will take a good look at them

Been invested in Lloyds since 2014 soton, not one of my best moves, started at around 65p then ppi/Brexit/pandemic/war etc. all knocking it down, so averaged down around the 2020 Pandemic and is now my biggest holding, may get rewarded one day, hope I'm not too old lol, same with vod, would love too see it get past the 140 and continue towards £2, just need some good luck instead of all this bad stuff keeping everything down, but the dividends will be very welcome while we are waiting

Same here soton, we don't have to agree with what anyone posts on here, but i don't see Mikey insulting anyone except in retaliation, and theres always that filter button, play nicely, maybe a better upday tomorrow

Trotsky, I agree diversification is very important these days, and it's always good to share ideas that have worked well, thanks for that, Lloyds is my largest stock and lgen being my second, wish it was the other way around, but not the right time to make those changes at the moment, also have mng,dlg,phnx,vod,smt,saga and 5 funds, difficult times for going into growth shares i think and knowing my luck they will turn into shrinking shares instead lol, not so much of a problem if your thinking long term perhaps, but for me with only a matter of weeks before retirement, it's all about dividend stocks for myself right now, will soon be transferring my works pension into my hl sipp, so will be looking for a couple more dividend stocks away from from the insurance and finance sector, as I'm already a bit heavy in that department, so if anyone would like to suggest any other good dividend stocks with a good entry price to look at or research, would be very interested, have been looking at Persimmon and Barret developments, but think the housing market may have further to drop yet
cheers guys and best of luck with your investments, we all need a bit of that, and if i can find another as good as lgen has been for me will be happy about that

Well that backfired on you Mikey, not sure about the £2 though

Not too late WM2020 cheers and good luck

Hopefully the share price will rise with inflation as well, otherwise the dividend will not look so attractive

Well done Mikey, I expect you will be in happy mode next week as your little friend Daniel is on his holidays

so next week guys , if you would like to share your experiences of Vodafone investment, good or bad, has it been a rewarding investment for you or not, but please be realistic guys, as some would have been luck to buy in low and now getting a good yield with the prospect of growth, but for others who have paid a lot more maybe not so pleased, and maybe wondering if they will recover their losses

looks like moleman99/cheapsharesboy and wm2020 have gone AWOL, if anyone sees them, please send them to me so i can fill my missing spaces lol
good luck all, hope we have a good week for Vodafone sp and a up for the ftse

Sorry typo, i meant tomorrow evening

Hi soton, yes I'm back in charge of the predictions, it's a very important job you know ?
If we can get all your predictions in by today evening if poss please gents, or i will have to come looking for you lol ;-)

Thanks for all your wise comments guys, the way i see it, the share price will rise at some time, but we just don't know how long that's going to take, so if funds allow topping up at a discount price and increasing the dividend yield and lowering your average is probably the best thing we can do for now, of course there's never a guarantee that the dividend will not be reduced or cut, but i can't think of any other shares more reliable than lgen for paying out on dividends.
soton, there's always a risk taking on a new share, as the dam things don't always go in the direction we would like, but i wish you all the best with it and I'm sure you will do ok

Hi Dan, of course i will continue it, holiday was great thanks, just what we needed great weather and hotel and some time to relax and enjoy life, just a one hour delay going out and bang on time for the return flight, most shares are dropping in price right now, but vod has been holding up quite well considering all what's going on, it's time for just collecting dividends at the moment Dan, and if an opportunity is there maybe top up and increase the yield, hopefully we will get rewarded when things get better
Hope all goes well with yours

Hi soton, yes it does seem a good buying price at the moment, we all want to try and find the bottom price, but it's not so easy in practise, but good advice doing it in a couple of stages, and as long as it's below your current average, your going to gain from it anyway, did you find that extra stock to invest in after ?
