yes it's shame they can't work things out.....maybe there neighbours and just don't know it...there's food for thought.....i've mixed bag of stocks and funds some are doing really well AV GSK LGEN others like LLOY WPP not so good depends on when you buy...my avg on LLOY is 59p lol it will come good one day whether i will still here on this mortal coil remains to be seen

Yep was a bit of fun sorry to see it go but understandable.....Not sure where the share price is heading hopefully in an upward direction have said before this one does test the patience....breakeven price of 126 for me with the latest divi guess i'm one of the luckier ones although it doesn't feel like it at times.....Rob don't over do it at work and enjoy your well earned retirement.....

Rob same boat with lloyds my avg is 59p hang on.....take the divi reinvest and don't panic it will come good in time how much time is the question.... i still work so happy to sit and wait retire in 6-10 years depending on how investments go....good divi with vod but is hard to watch the share price drop

Dan where have you been? hasn't been the same since you disappeared and you missed Fridays prediction.....

They do say that absence makes the heart grow fonder....but bloody hell Mikey steady on......

Yes your probably right It does get a bit heated between him and Mikey at times having a cooling off period maybe?

Is Dan on his hols? He always has a guess on the Friday prediction thread.....

Was a funny old week Rob...can't see what caused the drop panic selling i guess anyway onwards and upwards....So next week put me down for 127 divi paid on Friday so can't be all bad

Evening all.....So has this bottomed out? where does it go from here? smart money would say the only way is up.....Dan how's the heart? Mine is beating like a drum.....Have to hold your nerve with this.....Mikey must be in his element saying that even he must be disappointed with the last few days performance

Rob hindsight is a wonderful thing....I blame it not on Read but on the red wine.....sorry Dan/Mikey if i stirred things up... Up the vodders think things will improve tomorrow...

I guess he's hoping the share price will stay low until after the divi is paid as to buy more at a lower price.......

Ouch.....been a bad couple of days....thinking/hoping it will bounce back to the upper 120's then will decide what to do...was hanging on for the 140+ but even the the most patient will be tired with this....Rob yes been a good day on the Lloyds front..... have been looking at DEC maybe worth a punt still have some GLO to sell....Just don't see why the drop here results were not that bad....maybe Mikey has been doing the voodoo dance to bring the price down to buy in....what do you think Dan?

Hi all....Well done csdi on winning this week getting a bit of a habit with you.....Winning that is...so this week gonna be interesting so i'll go for 134....cheers Rob keep up the good work

Has an after thought.....Sorry Dan but maybe Mikey is right what has Read done since he took over apart from taking a huge salary funded by us shareholders? If you look at what Blanc has done at Aviva since she took over is nothing short of astonishing......

Pacino....who cares i'll have some of that lol

Nice one Fred......winner again....Rob can you put me down for 140 think it's gonna fly this week just stumbled across this

I brought at £13.70 a share so the divi is around 6% if you brought today the divi is 4.65% and like you this is a buy and hold stock for me... hope that is clear

Some good questions Gwm.....i got into GSK last year just over £13 a share so happy to sit on the divi think it's around 6% as for Haleon it's a wait and see approach for me.....not sure what the divi will be.....but will be happy with 4% or above and hopefully will be paid quarterly....

Living on the south coast i'm off to the garden beer in hand....

Yeah think you could be right Gary....Holding on on buying more as i'm guessing there will be a share issue sometime this year.....

Cheers Rob....Guys.......Think that's my 3rd win or maybe 2nd not sure have had a couple of beers so next week.....gonna go with a 130.2...Has been a another upward trend this week just hope it continues GLA
