I read the update at 07.00 hrs but today has to say the least been hectic. As a result I just decided to run with it. I did not like the speculation on the Israeli economy but I think soon there will come about some sort of compromise. Ukraine worries me because that has the possibilty to upset Europe. These are difficult times to be an investor...

I think trusts are suffering because of interest rates. Many are putting thier money into safe havens and getting a return

which almost matches. I never even spotted the dividend rns so I am on the ball....These are difficult times for investors. I have UKW and it has been really good. Just keep taking the dividends and hold.. I am taking in shares at the moment because the sp of most is low..

This too is down on dividend ... I would prefer if it stayed at this level until the dividend is paid as take it in shares and will get more...

Goes down because tomorrow is ex dividend ....Dividend pays out 31st May but will take in shares re invest..

This is one of my long term holds. I know the discount on Nav is quite big but then all of these funds seem to be under valued at present. Once more I shall take the dividend in shares..

Great minds. I have been invested for some onsiderable time. I too added yesterday. I also will take the dividend in shares.

I have rid myself now of all Aim shares. Why the holding rns here at such a late stage....There are a few in my wifes isa which were purchased when this was Concepta but they are virtually worthless..... Good Luck jamrock..

This is a strange share. It pays a dividend of over 9 per cent and Nav is way over sp price. On the surface it looks quite a good long term investment but funds are just not favour at the moment...On this I shall go dividend re invest..

Appears 583k at mid.. Buyback??

Thank you rivaldo for mentioning the rns. No sign of it here so I would have missed it. Just now wondering if I have missed any other relevant to my portfolio!! Truthfully though I only drwam about 80p!!~ I just keep holding...

I switched off Question Time last night when one of the panel said we intend to set up GB energy.... Jim Hacker and Sir Humprey are already in waiting..

Started about 20 years ago day trading and have to say it can be fun but markets change. You have to adapt. I want the Summer playing with my toys and not staring at the screen...... MHC have very poor news flow.......Perhaps there is no news..

For me I have reached the end of the line with AIM shares. Over the last few months I have dumped all but two and those are on borrowed time. I want to rid myself from the day to day this Summer and so I have goe over to Footse 250 and

will just take the dividends in re invest. I know some investments are dividend traps but I have tried to choose very carefully those I have tucked away... MHC may go boom but I have been in since Concepta and made diddly squat.

Day trading has no appeal under the current climate... I will let you know in six months if I have made a wise decision.

His most important and hardest problem to solve will be how to get the drones out of the no job centres..

I fully accept a lot of what you say. I have been buying and selling now for a long time and have learnt a lot. Sometimes with expensive lessons but overall I am able to continue with my extravagant life style. This year though I finally decided to remove Aim from the equation. I only have two holding left and their days are numbered. This week my fingers hovered over the buy for a few here but my feelings towards are leaders put pay to my daliance. I have never seen such a load of uninspiring individuals. And that is on both sides. One thing though is cheesing me off. I feel openly gagged...

What is good for the goose is also good for the gander. Thanks SB for your post...

Take a quick look at UKW (Greencoat). They have been buying back continuously since November 23. Truthfully there appears to be no improvement in the SP although obviously there is a monetary gain.

I have lots furiously doing the same but since Xmas my portfolio has dropped 14%....The FTSE 100 is at record highs but that is because a few have out performed ...

I just take the dividends and accept I am probably in a trap. Jumping about from share to share just makes the brokers rich.

We need a period of stability in the world and at present I cannot see how this will happen. Many years ago I worked in the film industry. There was a small Czech cartoon called 'Attention' . Two stone age men in skins were busy carving out huge clubs. When they had finished they sat back to admire their work and then prompty smashed each other over the head. It sums up what is happening today on the world scene...

Think this may be near the bottom now so have taken a small position here.

This is currently a good recovery share. It pays an excellent dividend. The accounts look very solid and year high is 122p so

lots of upside .....Just buy and hold...

I love waking up on a Monday. I always find it a bonus. I can then go about my business being 'Openly Bonkers'
