The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Good evening sidi, well it didn't reach the 2.60 that i said it would several months ago, but at least we have all made a profit and hopefully more to come
Best of luck to you and all that invest here
Gary, I don't blame you that's a good average and this has always been a good dividend paying stock, for myself i'm a bit heavier that i probably should be here for a single share, also i paid a bit too much for my last top up here pushing my average up to 2.40, so if i get an opportunity to buy back for a lot less i may do so, if not i'm happy with what i'm holding
best of luck guys
Gary, between now and the next exdiv there's no benefit in being invested, so plenty of time available to buy back here around 220ish, obviously there's no guarantee on how much it will drop, still holding 2/3rds so not too much of a risk
Sold a third of my lgen shares today, it may go up higher tomorrow or it might not, was just thinking it would be unlikely to have 3 ftse up days in a row plus i expect there will be more selling in the morning
time will tell if it was the right move or a mistake, happy to hold in cash for now and see what happens

Gary59, It depends on whether you think this might drop down to around 2.20 after exdiv, personally i think it will, don't forget those brokers buying and selling charges though and 5% tax if buying back, if this goes up to 2.55 i will be very tempted to sell half off
It's always a bit of a gamble though
best of luck
Very good research from Gary, thank you for that Gary59, I definitely don't regard this as a dog share, far from it
This has been my number one favourite share for many years, however as you may have noticed from my previous more recent posts i am disappointed with the current low sp on approach to exdiv, it seems to have gone backwards over the last couple of years, so for that reason, sorry lgen but i have downgraded you to third place, aviva taking first place mng second and lgen 3rd
to be honest i was hoping to have sold some off it it reached 2,60 or more and bought back 2.20 or less which is where i'm expecting this to drop to after exdiv, if it wasn't already one of my largest holdings i would have been just as happy to hold and add more when it dropped, anyway it is what it is, i still think this is a good share to hold in my portfolio and hopefully the share price will improve when interest rates drop

Hi Dan, well it's still a buyers market at the moment, hopefully that will change later on, looks like everyone is now waiting for the May results, let's hope they can give this a bit of a push upwards also interest rates predicted to drop later in the summer time, and of course the possible merge, fingers crossed
I have to admit my own spelling is not great, but at my age it's at the bottom of my list of things to worry about, i just blame the predictive text
Have a good week

A 250p share price will generate an 8.3% yield this year. Perfectly happy with that, although I appreciate that my decent rate of return does not tally with everyone.
No it won't, not if the sp drops by the same amount or more, but it might if the sp rises
but good luck to you
LuckyLaurie, ok i won't say never, I've been waiting here a long time as well, I like the sound of that £1.25 though, i will hold onto that thought
The last week or so on the stock market has been pretty awful, the American markets have been beating everything down with a big stick, a bit better today though hopefully the upward trend will continue and you get that 71.28p by Friday

Market-Dealer, stick to the plan, only add if below your current average and hopefully we will be rewarded after all those crazy country's have finished killing each other, the reality is nobody knows if the share price will go up or down
TinkerT, not sure if the ones that sold for around £5 needed the cash, they probably didn't want to lose their capital gain
with hindsight if i sold my aviva/mng and Lloyds shares before exdiv it would have been more rewarding than taking the dividends, when you think about it your not going to get anymore income from those shares until the next exdiv, maybe selling up and holding the profits in cash until they all drop back would be more profitable, unlike my funds that keep growing dividend shares just go up and down
