Hi Dan, so what are your suggestions for replacing our beloved lol. With then ?

Sadly I think things may get worse before getting better Mikey, let's hope we start reading about more good things happening instead of bad, think the world needs some more of that now
Best of luck all

Re: 130 plus tomorrow Dan, well it's possible, think most of us are thinking what next? maybe Carrington has done the right thing selling up, would love to know where he thinks this alternative better value stocks are right now though, maybe he will share it with us, but good luck Carrington

Give the childish name calling a rest please guys, it's getting very boring, I'm sure everyone here is saddened by what's going on in the Ukraine, but it's not the fault of posters on these boards

your absolutely right there phyl, anything can happen, it just beggars belief what's happening in the world right now, and it looks like things will get a lot worse, it's a case of your dammed if you do and dammed if you don't. indeed let's pray there is a ceasefire very soon
take care all

1.39 for me then, have a good weekend guys

Hi Dan, I thought you would appreciate the humour ? hope you and Mikey make up again, yea my heart goes out to those poor people in Ukraine, but unfortunately theirs nothing we can do to stop it, makes you realise how lucky we are in the uk
good day today, let's hope next week is better for all

Well done Gary, I don't think you will regret it, this has been a very reliable dividend payer for me, a buy and hold share, as long as you don't put a curse on it :-))

The World has gone mad guys, I should have listened to my wife and bought premium bonds?, just hope all the west will do every possible to stop this dictator, he cannot be allowed to get away with this, or where next

I topped up as well paul, but who knows what will happen tomorrow, hope it will recver a bit at least

Hi guys already with legal & gen, but looking for another good dividend, do you think this is a good time to buy in or wait until after ex div, would appreciate your thoughts on it
cheers

Thanks pacino, just been reading about it, with the charges involved I don't think it's worth the hassle

Fishcakes47, Thanks for that information, I had a similar account with the Halifax before i went with hl, not sure of the details of it think it was called a share builder account where you put a chosen amount into a share every month, and the charges were very low, and you paid into the account every month as a regular saver
cheers

Dan, everyone makes more than one investment into a share, if the sp takes big drop, adding more at the lower price can save you a lot more than the brokers charge, but enough of that, have you had a word with putin yet, that man is costing us all a lot of money now, more than the brokers charges even lol
Re: ISA how difficulty is it to move from one to another cheers

Fishcakes47, Thanks for sharing that , I'm with hl so making a lot of transactions would be expensive, I have a few shares on my watchlist and not in any hurry to buy in, so waiting for what I think is a good entry price, I only buy shares that I intend keeping for several years, and not being an experienced investor buying in 2 or 3 stages gives me a better chance of getting a good average price , others are more confident than myself and prefer do it in one go, so it's what ever their happy with really, sometimes you need a bit of good luck on your side as well, another poster said they fully research a share first then go for it in one, always good to do research of course, but who could predict things like the Pandemic and poss. war etc
but best of luck to everyone which ever way works best for you

Hi all, well its good we can all agree to disagree on buying a share in one go, Dan you really don't like paying those broker charges do you lol, well for me guys i have bought in one go before and then seen the price drop for one reason or another and we've had plenty of reasons for that lately, just hate it when that happens so for me it will be a few stages
still time to get those predictions in though, so far more up than down

Hi Fleccy, 3 dealing charges over say 15k surely that's peanuts compared to what you can lose if you buy in at too high a price in one go, yes you can average down on a share, with Lloyds i have averaged down and down and down to the point it's now 25% of my portfolio, ok I'm in profit now and can make a lot of money if it gets to 80p, but just how long is that going to take ? when i could have maybe getting full dividend elsewhere

Hi Dan, maybe I used the wrong word for that, as you know share prices go up and down throughout the year after ex div etc, if for instance I intend to put 15 k into a new share, instead of doing it in one go, I may do it in two or maybe 3 stages, just hate it when you make a new investment and the share price does a nose dive the next day, don't mean regular drip feeding that would mount up a lot of charges, just like you do with your top ups really

Hi Dan, The only thing I'm sure of, is I can't be trusted to make the right investments, because of my lack of experience in investing and have made some poor choices in the past, that's why I hold on to my funds for some security, which are not the top money makers but they are doing ok, Re: smt I invested there at £12 it then went up to excess of £15 as you know all tech stocks started dropping with inflation worries, so sold up at £13.50 it has since dropped further down to £10 and I think it may have further to drop yet, but if you look at the charts over the last 5 years, they have a very good reputation for making some good calls, so will be drip feeding some money back in there, but most of all I'm concentrating on building more dividend stocks, for that as you know I have vod plus I also have lgen my all time favourite which has been kind to me also mng which pays very good dividends and Lloyds banking, which I'm hoping interest rises will do it some big favours, my future plans are to sell off a few more funds and drip feed into a few more dividend stocks such as aviva or dlg to mention a few, will my plans work out as well as I hope, probably not, so if anyone wants to share any good ideas please do so, hope your all having a good weekend
