66p for me please roofer

cheers

Hi David, yes it has under performed this year so far at least, but if we take into account some of the problems most businesses are up against, such as inflation/high interest rates/recession etc, it's only to be expected really, pretty much the same with Aviva, still think this is a very good dividend paying share though and hopefully will get even better, as long as capital returns back to profit then you have options, nothing worse than being trapped in a share due to being under water, personally i have not been in that situation with this share

Garonne, you would need to find a CEO with a magic wand, do you have one in mind? yes it is hard to take that hit, we hope it will get a lot better, but the reality is nobody knows if it will or how long it will take

but good luck

JDF7, I agree most long term holders myself included are not too concerned about the sp dropping, however it's a much better feeling when you see your capital back in profit, especially in March/April when you expect this share price to be at it's highest, the dividends are very good here, but you don't want to get the dividends in one hand and loss of capital in another, especially when you have to account for inflation

Porsche1946, Is he really that wrong though, for all you guys that are invested in UK stocks, performing really well are they?

maybe you should have a good hard think about it, i keep hearing the words under valued, just wondering how many years you will keep saying those words for, the only UK shares of mine that i expect to see some decent growth with is house builders

Unfortunately it looks like another year 0f capital destruction on the stock markets, Lert's hope the spring weather will push up the share prices as well as the daisy's

Hi Dan, no worries mate i was only joking in my reply, we are all a bit fed up of share prices dropping, everyone's a lot more cheerful when they are rising, too many snakes about at the moment and not enough ladders , more prosperous times ahead hopefully, also spring and summer not far away, i can't wait for that

Dan, i am very upset that you don't like my lol or dyor, to be honest i don't like the dyor myself thank goodness you don't see it used very often anymore

so how about the dyot ( do your own thinking) i think you used that one before, seriously though i would hate to see anyone lose money because of anything i suggested, i realise there will be others here that are invested in the same shares of funds as myself, so just say how they currently are or have been doing, I would love it if i could predict the future as well though

I will try and speak in plain English/welsh/Scottish or Irish for you

have a good weekend

Hi, Dan, i'm sorry mate but i wouldn't know how to advise anyone on anything especially shares i need a lot of help myself from self harm lol

but the 3 funds i sent to mole have been good , you can google how they have performed in the past 5 years etc, but of course that doesn't mean they will do as well in the future, if you wanted me too of course just for looking purposes i would send you the full list of the ones i have, most i have had for years but 2 i have added more recently

but dyor of course, and let's hope our Vodafone shares have a good week, it was go high or go low so decided high :-)

Mole , that's good as long as your good at picking the right shares at the right time, if your rubbish at picking them like myself it's not so good, for example all 9 of my funds are in profit and growing, and the ongoing charges especially on my lgen tracker funds around 0.20% which is very low and also there are no charges for buying or selling them

onto my shares around half are in profit and the other half are in loss, so the good ones are compensating for the losses on the bad ones, but of course i can only speak about the present and the past, i can't predict the future

what about the rest of you guys are you happy with the performance of all your shares

Mole, I agree mate and that's what i have been doing increasing my funds , i'm done with buying uk shares and only adding to my low cost tracker funds, if you get a chance just take a look at the last 5 or 10 year growth on some of them,legal&general global technology/lgen international index/fundsmith to name a few they have outdone my uk shares

Dan, 67? what's the matter with you man, have you been listening to jax and gutter?

Not a good week again unfortunately, not just vod everything else is the same, most of my shares are going ex div in April, you would think they would be rising to the occasion now, but they are on on a slippery ski slope, maybe i should have listened to my wife and invested in a building society or premium bonds

that's my moan out of the way for this week

have a good weekend, and 70p for me next week please roofer

Sadly I think the expectations are that this will drop on results day like last year, but I hope not

Just my luck, i decided to top up here yesterday, then it does a nose dive, my share buying timing is pretty awful

The sooner they reduce interest rates the better, all of my UK shares have been dropping, since they said there would be no reduction at the beginning of this month

Hi Dan, this has been a tricky little bugger this one, just as you think it's stopped dropping it goes down a bit more, so i can understand how some are getting a bit frustrated here, but it has to stop somewhere, so how about we throw a bit of poo back at them on the way back up, that will be something to look forward to, and the sooner the better

best of luck mate

Hi FLeccy

RE: Jax and Gutter just put out meaningless one liners aimed at upsetting people who are sitting on large paper losses

Of course they are mate, they are just trying to wind everyone up for a laugh, but surely nobody takes them serious, i know i don't, but it's got to the point here that only seeing is believing here for me

unfortunately for as long as this keeps dropping they are winning, so we will just have to take it on the chin, let's hope it can change direction, this share and Lloyds are definitely not ones for the impatient, and let's hope they will eventually be worth the wait, I have to be honest this has not been one of my easiest investments that's for sure

best of luck, we all need it

Gary59, I couldn't agree more, as much as i like this share, it's very important to myself at least to be as diversified as possible, there's just too many bad things going on in the world right now and Brexit hasn't done the UK any favours, the majority of my portfolio is now in international funds, if you over invest in any one share or fund and it goes bad, it can make a big dent in your savings or pension pot, nothing on the stock market is guaranteed no matter how well think it may be doing

Buglet11, I have to agree with you on one thing, it's not jax and gutter that annoy me, it's the ones that pretend they don't mind if the share price drops so they can keep adding more, this is not a share that goes up and down in a range each year, it's kept on dropping for years, and nobody knows if it will go back up or by how much

like it or not jax and gutter are the ones getting it right at the moment and unless that changes we will just have to suck it up

Longtimeinvestor, yes i get that, and also less shares in circulation the less they have to pay out in dividends, but it's made no difference whatsoever to the share price for Lloyds and most likely won't make any difference here either

If it doesn't increase the share price then their's no benefit to us
