swsquires - agree completely about reit discussion groups. Cash generating companies such as these offer a massive addition to our ISA accounts and provide a more than steady income and as such would make a great talking point. RLE for me has been a really positive addition to my portfolio and as such I actually started a pension fund with this being one of three companies to provide a regular income. One of the others is actually AIRE. Hope you enjoy looking up on RLE. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Good luck with your research and good luck with your portfolio(s)

swsquires - An impressive selection of reits if I may say so. If you are looking to make changes can I respectfully suggest you have a look at RLE, AIRE and AEW. I am a holder in both RLE & AIRE and just awaiting to buy in (start of new tax year) to AEW. RLE and AIRE both give an impressive 7%+ in dividends which beats inflation hands down. Investors Chronicle - excellent publication!!!- has both AIRE & AEW on its recommendation to buy list so that alone is enough to make people sit up and take notice and commence their own research. I, like yourself, have recently discovered the reit's and really wish I had done so much earlier in my life! With inflation as it is it really makes sense to get more in in income than you lose in inflation. Good luck to all investors and may your gains exceed your losses. Rgds Saintly

I think the acquisition of II will be a game changer for Abdn. I am a holder of ABDN shares and also my broker is II so I have an interest in both camps. II have a massive customer base and a massive amount under investment. I believe they will bring positive earnings to Abdn and we will reap the benefits by way of increased dividends and access to the massive customer base that II has. Rest assured my proceeds from this purchase of II will be used to further increase my holdings in Abdn so that shows how confident I think this acquisition will be to the company. Good luck to all fellow investors or potential investors of this share.

In my opinion at the price it was set at compared to current price did not make sense. By adding in x millions it has diluted the value so no real point in buying or maybe I am missing something. Still happy to hold at this price. Good luck to all shareholders

A nice slow and steady rise over the last month. A fairly acceptable dividend and the possibility of dare I say it a "takeover target". TSCO seems to be riding along and sitting under the radar. Personally I am happy to see this steady rise and a hopefully a steady increase in dividends. Anything else is surely a bonus. Continued good wishes to those that hold, are considering buying or are merely monitoring this share. Rgds to one an all. Saintly

Ben - Thanks for posting. It is good to hear what it's like at the actual coalface so to speak and to see what the actual challenges are on a day to day basis.

Seems like only yesterday since the last dividend but here we are once more. Another healthy increase to the coffers and once again grateful to RLE for it's contribution. In my view this really is a welcome addition to any portfolio and generates a very decent return on investment. Continued good wishes to all investors, potential investors or those just monitoring this stock..

Had these been placed in an ISA then there would be no CGT. Even now you could start the process to reduce CGT with a Bed & ISA utilising losses against gains. Always best to get under the ISA blanket. Dividends received outside of the ISA blanket need to be reported on an annual tax return if it exceeds a certain amount. If your statement above is your only dividend income, though judging by your wording it is not, then you will be below your annual amount but you may still be required to declare. Respectfully suggest you look at getting your shares in to an ISA account whenever possible.

On a final note you may wish to look at generating better returns. If Lloyds is giving you a possible return of under £10k then you could be looking at doubling or more with a reit. I would suggest you look around but for me Lloyds is certainly one to keep in the portfolio. Hope you do not mind my comments and wishing you good fortune with your holdings.

Well done on your reinvestment in this stock. I hope that you will find it profitable and a good addition to your portfolio. Rgds Saintly

Increase of 5% on dividend for 2022 giving 6.3p per share. Targeting a yield of circa 8% in medium term. Decent return at moment with a progressive dividend policy for future. Really good addition to anyone's portfolio. Good luck to all current shareholders, to those considering buying in or those just monitoring this share.

In the last few months I have been encouraged to diversify and look for better returns (about time I think lol) for my portfolio. Was pointed in the direction of reit's and added this to my list. A very decent return of over 7% so happy to continue topping up at this price and for the return. Wish I had discovered reit's long before now but now I am a believer (no reference to the Monkees!) I am in :-) With this sitting in an ISA it makes sense to get best return on your money and this share does not disappoint !!!!! If you want a decent return then this is one to consider. Good fortune to one an all be you either investor in this hare, potential investor or just reading the board. We are all here with one goal and that is to increase our wealth. Hope this gives you all food for thought and wishing you all well whatever choice you make.

Have also added more RLE to the pension fund. Healthy 7.5% return is certainly putting some really decent monies in to the coffers. And dare I say it - Its dividend month fast approaching - 21 Jan 22 here we come again. Continued good wishes to all be you either investors, potential investors or those just reading.

Refreshing to see someone come and admit to being wrong rather than let it fester. Top marks for putting your hands up. Maybe politicians could learn something here :-)

Dividend paid in to II first thing on 19/11.

Samroy, Very many thanks for posting that link. Much appreciated.

The latest rental update in regards to lidl and lok will provide an additional rental income that will ultimately benefit both the company and investors alike. Seems like a very good bit of business. Keep them coming please

Not as shocked as to see the payoff or the new individuals pay package. How do they justify such packages? I wouldn't complain but it just seems a bit excessive.

C Trader - Have a look at Interactive Investor. It costs you £9.99 per month. Now that would look bad until you see that they give you a £7.99 dealing credit which is valid for 3 months. Dealing charges are £9.99 plus stamp duty if appropriate which is pretty low by all accounts. Dividend re-investment can be done automatically (or not if you prefer) at £0.99 plus stamp duty so you keep more of your hard earned cash. Additionally you can have your monthly fees paid from outside your ISA thus keeping more of your money within it. I only moved to II following the Share Centre being taken over by them but have to say I am pleasantly surprised with their service. I do have one gripe and albeit a small one in as much as they do dividend re-investment but it is done within two working days rather than immediately. A small issue but overall they are worth a look. Additionally you can add in 6 family and friends and they can benefit from having a a dealing account and that can be linked to a total cost of £4.99 from your account but they benefit from the £9.99 dealing charge. They do not get any dealing credit but it does make it a real benefit with regards to low costs dealing charges. Hope you find this informative and good luck in your quest.

Well once again dividend day comes and goes and is really great in my opinion. A dividend is good but when it is excess of 7% then that is absolutely brilliant and this really must catch the attention of investors. I appreciate some people are more concerned with other aspects of the books but for me I bought in at a price I liked, I am receiving a great return on my investment and I just think RLE are one for anyone's portfolio if you like a decent return. When interest rates are still so low it makes sense (in my opinion) to look at obtaining a decent return. This is a share to give you all a very decent return if that is what you are seeking. Regards to all investors and those considering getting in to this share.

Thanks
