Soton, best of luck with that my friend, hope that goes well for you, keep me updated on that :-)

Fleccy I hope you are right, and we will find out how well it's doing on the 17th may, and of course we are hoping this doesn't go tumbling down to the £1 shop like last year

Probably the best advice anyone could give you Dan, is don't put all your eggs in one basket, unless of course you really are convinced Nick Read is as good as you make him out to be ?, but that choice is yours of course, so we will just have to hope it will improve, the share price certainly hasn't improved since Nick Read took over in 2018, but you may think differently about that

Zac, I agree with Gary & soton, If i can just add though , I agree there's no need to be bothered about the here and now sp, we all know the sp will go up and down, and if and when it drops below my average i use that opportunity for topping up at a discount price adding value to the shares, but it is also very important that some time throughout the year that the sp returns to above your purchase price, as you want the dividends as income and not for making up losses on your capital, I have been invested here for years and not lost any money on my capital and that's what defines a good share for me, It's so easy to get caught in that trap as i found out with Vodafone, the share price started dropping down from £2 but you don't think anything of it thinking if will go back up in a few months then it drops again and again and before you know it you have lost half your capital and then the dividend get's cut, the dividends will never make up for the capital loss, so I realise I will have to sell up at a loss at some point, all I'm saying guys if you have a good share that's working well ,hold on to the good ones and concentrate on the disappointing ones instead we all have some?

sotonspike, If you win on that next week mate, you will deserve a gold award, how about talk talk taking Vodafone over, maybe that might work better ?

Well done CSDI for coming second, well i will go for 127, not ready for the SKI slope yet, does look like once again we have difficult times ahead of us, so where is going to be the best place to invest over the next 6 months ??, I would have thought It will be more the essential products rather than non essential, wish I knew where though ? have some dividend pay-outs in May, but won't be rushing to re invest just yet

Prediction Guesses for 22/04/22
Well a bit of a disappointing week guys, but it is what it is, hopefully a better finish next week
So a big congratulations to Mole_man for winning this weeks Vodafone best investor of the week award

All of my shares are down today so, i wouldn't be too hard on Vodafone

You never know dan, it could get a bit of a sprint on, at least it's holding up so far

SD ok you did well there, enjoy it :-)

Yes that's right soton, it will come back to £3 at some point, and should it drop below my average i will top up again, so just enjoy the divvy for now

SD, at least i now have a lower average than you 231 ;-)

Gary Re: may 18th results, If you look at last years charts that's when Vodafone took a sharp downward drop, and then continues slowly dropping all the way down, just over £1, not saying it will repeat itself, but something to be aware of ?
hopefully it won't repeat, fingers crossed on that guys

ok stevebt, so the first round is on you then ;-)

Mikey, no offense, but you've sold up so those comments or are pretty pointless, enjoy in your retirement

Good choice holding paul, if you have a good one that's working, hold it and improve on it by adding on the dips, well that's what's working best for me, the next share you buy may go down instead of up, they are not all success stories

Well I'm in profit here now, which always makes me happy, let's hope can get back to £30 plus
Good luck all

Early days yet mikey to make assumptions tomorrow's another day

With Hargreaves shares and fund holding charges 0.45% capped at £45 per annum. most of the fund ongoing charges are discounted, meaning my legal@gen funds ongoing charges are less than they would be from legal & general direct, but then they bump it up by adding their holding fees, and no charge for buying and selling funds so not so bad with the funds, not as good as no charges though, I currently have 7 shares and 7 funds and one investment trust in my sipp and other shares in my isa, so think it would be expensive and a lot of hassle to move elsewhere, would be a lot easier i expect if i was just moving one share, so you have an advantage in paying no charges
cheers

Thriller40, yes of course, but it still seems a discounted price at the moment even with taking that into account
Cheers
