I guess it depends on your own personal circumstances how you choose to invest, now that I,ve retired it's all about getting enough income from my shares for topping up my pension without having to sell down any shares/funds/trusts, and I regard lgen as one of the best for that purpose alongside some of my other high yielding shares, so if it's not broken why mess around with it, I like to hold on to my core holding, and just have a play around with some others

Good afternoon phyl, I see mecon has kindly answered you question, for what it's worth I think the drip feeding is a good idea in these unsettled times

Best of luck

I don't trust any politicians from any party, they are all out to line their own pockets, but we all know this was doing ok until the Iran war started, so i think we can blame Trump for this one, this share seems to be in freefall now, each time i think it can;t go any lower then it does, let's hope we see a change in direction soon

KatieD, let's hope you bring a bit of good luck to this one, like you did with T&L

Noggers, how long is this long term? done the averaging down a few times, and i'm increasing my losses, but let's hope we don't have too wait too long, when the dividend starts getting cut as it has your on a slippery slope

Christofer, I wish i could turn the clocks back on this and psn, i was actually showing a slight profit before the Iran war started, and at that time interest cuts were predicted, so was looking like i was about to start making a decent profit, unfortunately we're caught in a trap here now, either take a loss or hold out, personally i will wait it out and hope for a miracle lol

best of luck whatever you decide on and gla, we need it ;-))

Skodamanpat, that sounds like a fantastic strategy, only in the real world, you put those profits into a new share and it doesn't always go in the direction you want it too, sometimes you win, sometimes you will loose, i'm sure we have all found that out, sometimes the hard way

Nick, you might get lucky it could fall in your favour, on the other hand you may lose out, but I'm sure you know that ?

Montecristo,well I already hold some sdlf, but arguably, it could be said sdlf is currently overpriced wheras lgen is underpriced, so hopefully to stay here

Hoping this doesn't get taken over, this being my largest holding for dividend income, or I will have to find an alternative place to park my money

Hello Dan, i bought back some Vodafone shares at 1.14 a while ago, not my largest holding by any means, but still hoping to make a profit from them

£1.22 for next Friday please roofer, hopefully next Tuesdays results will give this a push upwards

have a good weekend all

Just imagine where this will be, when things are good, definately no complaints here

I gave up on trying to time the markets with constant buying and selling a long time ago, you buy in and the share drops, you sell and it keeps rising, sometimes you win sometimes you lose, IMO if it's working why try and fix it, i prefer to hold on to the good one's and add value when opportunity's arise,

but each to his own i suppose

Still the same friendly bb I see lol

DC, I wouldn't count on it, i have a feeling we are in for a very bumpy ride this summer, i will start adding some more if it drops into the 230s, but i could well be wrong

ATB

Mecon, you have a very good point there, honestly we don't know what's coming next anymore, anymore Wars and i'm putting everything on Premium bonds lol

ATB

Hi Mecon, I get your way of thinking there, with PHP being a REIT for the NHS, but comparing the charts for those two over the last 5 years, there's little between them, and both have had progressive dividends over the last 5 years, but it's much easier to compare how well they have performed in the past, than it is to predict the future performance, if only we could !

best of luck

Hello, KatieD, it depends on what your personal strategy is really, for myself being recently retired and wanting income from some of my investments , for that reason I'm invested in the following, lgen,aviva,sdlf,mng,ukw,php,supr, these are my core long term holdings, then there are two i wish i never invested in which are ,tw,and psn, but you could say that's partly down to timing really, i also hold a variety of tech funds for growth, and one which is very good for income, that's fidelity enhanced monthly income, but what might be right for myself might not be for others, entry price also plays a big part in that

best of luck with your investments

Dc, well done, that's a very large investment, not sure if I would sleep well though putting it on one share, but sure you will be ok here

Ps, if your struggling to spend all those dividends, I can help you out lol
