Ok Register, if you go for the "cigaerette end" approach.

Both PHNX and LGEN (yielding almost 9%) are going to benefit strongly from the de-risking currently going on with Pension Fund Trustees wanting to offload the risk on their books. Ironically as a result of the dislocation in the Bond markets after the Kwarteng episode, due to LGEN products.

Please read the last update from PHNX. Cash flows doubled.

Agree entirely on PSN, CRST and PHNX. Buy and hold. The FTSE is st.uff.ed with shares that are on low single didgit P/Es and almost double digit Dividends.

If we're not in now, we'll kick ourselves as we did after 2008. As always with the Property market, any cooling is temporary. These levels of inerest rates will be accepted and new buyers will move in. It's healthy that people should have their interest rate expectations modified.

My daughter and son-in-law - no chain buyers - were outbid recently in London, where the buyer paid over the asking price.

Ye right. Big player. Ten sub-continent origin employees.

I started, just to amuse myself, to read your letter. But stopped immediately when you mentioned the phrase. "Ponzi scheme", needing new Investor's funds.

You do know the difference between Investment Trusts (where you have buyers and sellers in a closed Trust) and Unit Trusts (which are open ended), don't you?

No need to panic. Phnx went ex-div today (26p), and the remainder down to a negative day.

The two p's in mapp should be replaced by d's...

I thought Vod UK had sold out of the Indian mess after those scamming char'lat'ton swayne lumbered it with a massive tax demand. But the write-up indicates they appear to still have some (25%?) shareholding.

Already known. Published on the 14th Sept.

Napalm, I take it you are British? Let's leave the Iraqis and Afghans out of the picture. How about India, Sudan, and just about half the planet?

Oh and not to forget, a Gang of British Drug dealing p-i.m.ps addicting a large chunk of the Chinese population, then - when their Government tried to ban it - bom./bard.ing their Imperial Capital with Gunboats and forcing them to hand over Hong Kong as a base for their pi.m//ping, running it as a Dictatorship for 150 years... then "discovering" the joys of Democracy and "Free Speech" just before the Chinese took it back peacefully.

Your hypocricy is astonishing.

Thanks Scie. Slow n Steady sums up my Racehorses (shares) to date, haha.

Not to mention our Portfolios. Except 2016 when they doubled, before settling back into slumber. But I'm Ok with that. My Hsba shares are currently up 40% or so.

Could anyone advise me please as to when (if) a Special Dividend from the Canada sale is expected? And any idea how much?

Thanks in advance.

Pardon? Me no speaky gibberish very nicingly, even with my double bottom and dancing candles. Or was that dancing men with the double top?

Anon.... to answer your question. She and that fashion plate at GSK are both disasters, appointed and supported by Chairmen (so no sexism here) who are/were equally network geniuses with no substance.

As for "what can she do"? Not puddle Company Owners' money on vanity projects, when the writing was on the wall (Netflix et al) even before embarking on it.

My PSNs (picked up at £12.15 a few months ago) doing well today...

volcano... Coudn't be more delighted if there's some positive action.
You can believe it or not, I don't really care, it's not by any stretch my largest holding, but I'm long a nice six figure sterling amount in this one (40,000 shares).
But you did say an Rns was due the following morning some days ago? Nuffink happened. I'd say that was pumping without a clue.
Terry seems to have something... I haven't checked it out, but as I said earlier, there probably is a reason for this movement. I wouldn't want to say "Rns tomorrow morning, dyor atb gmb" or any of that geek lingo.

There's something going on, for sure. Shares don't rise over 20% in 5 days for no reason.

Crude volcanic attempt at "Pump and Dump"?
Looks like the JP Morgan teenage scribbler is busy washing the egg off his/her/it's face this evening.

Noveckingood, try Plusnet. I moved to them a year or two ago after a similarly nightmare few years with Talk talk. I have found their (UK based) customer service to be superb.
I don't know how they compare price-wise, but you'll save on the extra Bp medication!

Not forgetting China coming roaring back, TopHat. I've got a heavy weighting in StanChart, HSBC, RIO and BRWM for this reason. (Not to mention HFEL, which yields 8.5%) . Well, well up on all these.

Sp has now crept back into the black. Steady as she goes, hopefully.
