@stargate after falling from highs of around 800p, disastrous news is mostly priced in to this trust. Better to be buying into China when prices have crashed than missing the upturn or buying in near the top.

I just keep adding monthly in my ISA as a way to build my holding.

I'm also steering clear (as much as possible) of the U.S, as it's overvalued IMHO & Warren Buffet thinks it's around 45% overvalued (he should know).

I'm more than happy to keep adding below 140p.

I'm 54 & this is the type of share folk could hold to retirement (unless UKW has some kind of disaster).

Ignore the trolls, doom mongers & just buy the dips.

It's better to be buying Lloyds at around 40p than it is to buy them at 55p.

Plenty of decent companies in the ftse that are undervalued and are paying decent dividends too.

This is just another ftse company suffering big drops for no apparent reason.

Plenty of ftse shares to mop up that are suffering with a depressed share price & still paying out decent dividends (That look totally sustainable)

LGEN has comfortably made enough profit to pay out a rising dividend & even made around 1.2x of what's required during the pandemic year.

Unless they were looking to buy out another insurer for tens of billions, I can't see any reason for them to cut or cancel.the dividend.

I just sold the shares in BP i bought below 480p not that long ago (25% of my holding).

I decided to reinvest the proceeds into BAT & add to my recently purchased holding.

@hardup - i already hold around £6k worth, so I just add if there's a decent drop in the SP without alarm bells ringing.

Could do with Lloyds bank shares dipping below 40p for a few days, so I can dump some inheritance money on them !

After having a spare £250 left in my ISA - the 1746 share purchase today is mine.

I am now invested with 1000 shares purchased.

This will get noticed now it's featured in the M.O.S Midas column.

I'm not invested, but have certainly took note, as i'm investing in U.K listed shares that i think are undervalued & pay a decent dividend (such as LGEN,BAT, UKW & LLoyds etc).

The earning & profits have been growing nicely here & the dividend has been well covered too.

What's not to like ?

Just added another 40 of these to my dividend portfolio & if my boss gives us a bonus at Xmas, i'll be buying another 40, if the SP is around these levels.

Aviva was tipped by a broker a few days ago & since then it's moved up.

There was also a rumour of a takeover at 600p, but that would be around a 50% premium over this weeks SP & i can't see any potential buyer paying that much & there's also competition rules that will come into play.

The insurance & pensions sector is unloved, but i don't think any investor would go wrong buying Aviva, LGEN or Phoenix at todays prices.

I hold LGEN & at the moment am happy to do so.

Why would anyone sell IMB or BAT at these levels ?

The SP in both hasn't just declined, it's crashed !

Both stocks have a fair value price of "well over" what they are now.

Rightly or wrongly i added today with my £500 of dividend cash. My trade went through this morning 735 shares @ 68p.

Some hefty buys going in & if this climbs & keeps up the dividend payments, those getting in at these levels will be laughing at the poor souls who sold out in panic.

To stop this sort of crap happening to major companies that earn a fortune, pay out to investors, invest for their own future growth, service debts etc etc...... Shorting should be made

illegal.

I have £500 in dividends & a £1k tax rebate I'm able to use from Friday.

LGEN, DEC OR BATS ???

DEC can't be that distressed when it's buying back hundreds of thousands of it's own shares each week (including 350,000 today) plus paying the dividend on top of that.

Also, buying back shares makes the dividend easier to pay in future or frees up more cash for investment or debt repayment.

Seriously thinking of adding PHP to my income portfolio. Below 100p must rate as a decent entry price (even in the current climate).

Just think how much revenue the treasury would lose if no oil or cigarettes were sold from tomorrow !

I'm not invested here, as i own IMB as my biggest holding (bought in the 1540p area).

Due to the cashflow generated by these tobacco companies & the subdued SP i'm certainly looking into adding BAT to my income PF.

I watched a video last night regarding several income stocks & their history of raising dividends & their ability to raise them further. Payout ratio & debt were covered & a fair value was given for each stock too.

BAT fair value was around the £80 - £90 range making it massively undervalued.

Obviously there's the stigma of smoking, but sales of vaping products are rocketing.

Will the government cut off hundreds of billions in tax revenue anytime soon ?

I don't think so, as it's on it's ar** financially already !
