I cannot see many taking up the open offer when it is considerably more than the current sp. It will almost certainly be taken over in the medium term but at what price. I think it will a lot higher than the current sp because the product is good. Its just going to be a buy a wait share..

This went ex dividend today. Proving to be a good investment.

Seems large puddles of Russian oil are appearing there. It is refined and sent back to Europe according to the paper. Would not be surprised if it is true.

This show that currently call themselves a government are always wrong. Everything they touch falls to pieces or goes wrong. Our medical centre which has hardly any doctors has a pharmacy but it appears that is now under threat. Another pile of grief on the railways has ruined my holiday. My car is about to undergo repair due to falling in a pothole. They have now discovered that EV's do not pay any road fund tax and because there is no tax on electricity there is a huge hole in the finances. A colleague of mine set off to take his daughter to a day at her new uni. Due to lack of charging points he clapped out and never made it. This windfall tax is barmy. Close down the NS and import oil from India probably. Mme Spin though has received instructions to stop using the term Mother and Father and instead call them parents. Seems mums and dad's are no longer PC... So all is not lost. It is going to take me a long time to recover from the last two weeks. Should have bought a HMO...

This has proved a good long term hold.. Slipped a bit but think it will come back...

Final results should be out in a couple of weeks. They need to give some signs of improvement. I am hoping they are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel and hope it is not another trtain..

Why do peeps keep saying I am negative...I am quite positive even though I have lost a shed.

Labour's shadow chancellor wants to stop all new exploration and development of the north sea.. Bonkers.

All my portfolio is on a down trend. The resolution of the debt ceiling may help tomorrow but until we get some confidence back its is going to be a tough call as many are putting their cash into banks and building societies at 5% with no risks up to 85000.....

Article in todays Times is spot on and heaps critcism on the government and greens for the demise of North Sea oil production. Norway has a floor. Uk does not. Putting your faith in importing oil and gas is ludicrous. My portfolio has lost over 6% in the last week. I have done one sell and two buys so far this month and am currently watching my dividends get gobbled up. Currently I am considering my options because the real elephant in the room is the housing market. It begins to look like 2008 all over again. Whilst I am mortgage free my childen are not. They are beginning to crumble...

It is hard to contemplate selling some of my holdings but I wonder if it is also a big mistake to just keep hoping. Hindsight though is easy..

I think the future is hydrogen. Batteries will never keep up....

Was tempted to go negotiated to see what price was achievd but do not like trading blind..

I think the penny will drop at some point when it is realised how many wells have closed and no one has drilled enough to replace them .... I expect a huge rise in the last three months of the year.

The problems with the debt ceiling will come and go but the military operation in Ukraine will grind on. At home I think the housing market has the potential to up end the Uk economy. The rises may are experiencing on their mortgages is simply unmanageable. The three D's will kick in.

Currently I see very few reasons to take risks when you can get 5-6% in the banks and building societies...

These go negotiated on HBOS. Strange as there seems little action. Certainly not been any volitility....

At some stage I will have to invest in a new quay bored

I have not bought or sold a single share in May and confess I cannot see any ction which will improve my will to do so.

I spoke to my usual check out at the super market today as to how busy it has been and he just said it hasn't. The state agenr says the same. Investments just do follow logic anymore and when you cannot understand why it is often best to either sell out of switch off. I am just grateful most of my holdings pay dividends other wise strarvation would loom large.

At some stage the penny will drop that lack of investment in the North Sea will bring about another crisis...

Too many snakes and not enough ladders..

Oh to be a dreamer.... Every thing apart from this is covered in blood... Intend to hold this and hopefully take another dividend later in the year...

Could well need bins to see the 6.2p offer!!

'I am the leader. Which way did they go?' 'Never in the course of history has so little been achieved for so few by so many'. Ask them what they want then tell them what they'll get... Seen it all before. Onwards and downwards!! I am feeling very political today and preparing to go down on one knee and swear at my cat!!
