AbjectPerformer, just my personal thoughts, I would say no, but this may be at a lot lower price after exdiv and before reinvestment time

Phyl, yes i share those concerns plus the fact the sp is lower than it was 2 years ago, of course there are many reason for that, the main reason i'm being a bit cautious here though is taking into account what you have just mentioned and the fact that Lloyds and lgen are my two largest holdings so thinking of trimming them both back providing i can do so at a good price

I suspect i may be a bit older than yourself as i'm semi retired and soon to be fully retired, interesting though that you say your holding this in an isa, for myself i have these in a sipp, so after the first 25% tax free will have to pay tax on any further withdrawals, i do also have an isa for other tax free withdrawals

best of luck

72 for me please roofer

Thank you

That's very true, there's always a chance i will regret it, maybe i should be looking for a higher figure min 2.60 and if it doesn't get there just hold, was thinking maybe just selling half of my shares, don't you just hate it though when your showing a nice profit then suddenly it's all wiped away

decisions decisions

If this reaches £2.55 i think i will be selling some off, sp not been doing so well here the last few years, and got a feeling this will drop back around 2.20 a few weeks after xdiv, also it's a bit of a concern when a new CEO takes over

but could be wrong, If inflation and interest rates drop may be a different story

what are you guys thinking ?

Hopefully this will start pushing towards 80p by next week, need something to get this moving

Garonne, I hope you don't mind but I have to tell you something mate, i think you are doing this all wrong, you should be wishing this down to 60p then 50p etc. and keep adding regardless, all you have to do then is keep collecting dividends for about 20 years then you may break even if your lucky, who wants to make a profit anyway, that's so boring you will only end up spending it on luxuries like holidays booze and women

ForensicBloo, your not alone in thinking like that , I accepted some time ago that i will never get all my capital back here, but any increase from this current sp will be welcome, it would be good just to see this heading towards 80p for now

Garonne, some people will never accept that they have made a bad investment and they are losing money, some long time investors,myself included just keep on telling them selves this will get better, but unfortunately instead of getting better it has kept on getting worse year after year after year, I really don't know where this one is going, I'm not sure you can point the blame on any CEO, the reality is it's just been a bad industry to be invested in, maybe because of the expensive infrastructure costs and the fact it's a very competitive market, not helped by inflation and higher interest rates

The only thing i do know for sure is it hurts having to sell at a big loss, I really wish i knew what to do for the best with this one, my biggest fear is if i sell the share price will rocket

Garonne, maybe you should lower your expectations a little, forget about RR think more reliant Robin and we won't be so dissapointed ;-)

Hi sidi, this is the time of year you have to make some difficult decisions, i confess i'm an expert at making the wrong one's that's guaranteed, so what ever i say do the opposite, i'm convinced someone has put a hold or sell curse on me lol

mng at a year high/lgen possibly heading for 60p plus/aviv currently at 467,70 and Lloyds making it's way to 50p again

One thing i don't have to think about is Vod, maybe if i live to a 100 i may break even on that one

Best of luck my friend what ever you decide And good luck to all mng holders

Hi Dan, yes not a bad finish, wouldn't it be good though if it now started making it's way towards 80p

fingers crossed for that

ps. you do know tmu is aka gutter don't you, good spelling?

Sidi, it looks like those second chances you were looking for may have arrived? things are looking up again

good luck mate

Well this has redeemed itself after poor results, why did i ever doubt it, 2.65 by exdiv maybe? well done lgen

Time machine, your spelling is very good? Have you seen your friend jax around, I have been worried about him

Garonne, was not advice of course, just my own personal thoughts and hopes which i often get wrong, but thanks anyway my lgen shares had some disappointing results yesterday and share price dropped and my aviva shares had good results today and rose, it's some you win some you lose at the moment, hopefully inflation and int. rates will drop and give everything a dose of steroids

good luck

Garonne, stay cool mate only you can decide whether you think this is worth holding onto or not, it's very easy to get influenced by other posters, nothing is going to happen here overnight that's for sure, maybe in a few months time things maybe looking better, personally i'm hoping this can get up to around 90p so i can sell some off, will that happen i just don't know, i'm just hoping it will, it is at a very low price at the moment so i'm betting there's more chance of it going up rather than down, more fool me perhaps, we will see

I've been getting around 80% growth on my international funds over the last 5 years, with my shares some are in profit and some are in loss, i know which direction i'm planning on going, but first i need to get shot of some of my disappointing shares, don't want to take any more loss on them than i have to though

Avocet123, out of interest, what else are you invested in and how does this compare with your other investments

A lot of profit taking today, hopefully it will now rise to the occasion of exdiv after those good results, I will be sitting tight here

That should have said aveo, most financial advisors would, dam predictive text will have to disable it
