Hello roofer, be prepared for a bumpy ride with house builders, the annoying thing is I was in profit with tw and psn and they were looking very prosperous with further interest cuts predicted, but this war has now changed everything and pushed them into freefall, very volatile stocks, but best of luck

His street

Roofer, where is LTI (long term investor) when we need him, he loves this is just up

Thinking of buying in here for the long term dividends and hopefully the upcoming dividend and also a special i believe, is now a good time or does this have further to drop

Thinking of buying in here guys for the long term dividend, but is now a good time or is it better to hold back

just looking for your opinion, not asking for investment advice

cheers

Nick lol, sunscreen factor 20, have you been outdoors

I suppose it also depends on your age, for myself I just hold for topping up my pension

How do we play it right ?

Dc, we might have seen £3 if this war had not started, but I feel too much damage has been done now, but still happy to hold here for the divvy and buy on dips

No matter how diversified your portfolio is, i don't think anyone like to see their capital going into further losses every day, hopefully one day i will break even again, then i will get shot of these house builders shares in a flash

We are at a 10 year low now, just before the war started i managed to break even, i wish i never invested in these junk shares, just hope the dividend is not cut or it will really tank big time

HH88, very true lol

Openeyes, I agree it's very unlikely that lgen would cut the dividend, i assumed you was talking about shares in general when thanking DT for creating the opportunity to buy low and increase yields, just saying be careful because we don't know how bad this can get, when profits are under the cosh down to inflation and higher interest rates, some companies will cut the dividends, it happened with direct line not so long ago

Oops, sorry fleccy, i will go back to sleep

Hello Crossley, i expect you have seen this posted by Meconopsis over on lgen, but might be of interest to Fleccy

personally i'm possibly too heavy in insurance as i'm holding mng,aviva,lgen phnx, but they have served me well so far, hoping we don't get another, punishing week, my biggest losers over the last few weeks have been house builders psn and tw

Fleccy, not had any problems here, but also consider lgen as well the yield is much higher

Openeyes, this isn't a knee jerk reaction like Trumps tariffs back last April, this will do a lot of harm to many businesses for some time, and dividends are never guaranteed

Well anything is possible, but you know what they say, one man's loss is another man's gain, don't panic

Yea, they should pay compensation

That's the joys of investing in the stock market guys, it can be very unpredictable, if it wasn't we could all be millionaires, it's not very nice seeing thousands being wiped off our shares every day, the markets are getting very jittery now as we all fear where this is going, I do hope aspers is right though

Thanks mardler, hope they haven't been hacked or gone bust, will try again later
