Adrian Hargrave, CEO of SEEEN, explains how the new funds will accelerate customer growth Watch the video here.
So long as houses remain affordable people will buy. Yes affordability is stretched but most people don't buy a house purely on the basis of an investment - we all have to live somewhere after all. All this talk of house prices falling, some say 5%, some say 10% some say no fall at all. Didn't they predict a huge fall with Covid, see what happened there...
Most of us hold a house for quite a long time so generally have to be unlucky to lose out. Alternative is rent which is ok short term but long term that's a lot of dead money. Need to think of the long game.
My own thoughts are perhaps due to it's defensive nature in the current environment. A lot of unknowns out there at the moment... Should do well I would think during next year or two. That's why I added around 7 months ago (that and diversification)
I suspect its a mixture of the strong pound (shot up yesterday) and with inflation easing in America peeps will move from defensive into growth stocks again.
Thanks for that, yes makes perfect sense :)
LSE states yield as 7.56%
I understand divi is 16.25p quarterly to equal 65p
By my workings out on an SP of £13.20 this now has a yield of 4.92%
Am I right or am I missing something? Perhaps historic divi?
TIA
Yes, FOMO gets a lot of people trapped (and Greed for that matter. I bought Shell at £14 and watched it drop to around £9, nearly doubled up when it was £10 but sadly decided against it... Now over £20 but for how long!
As long as your well diversified and can hold a stock for many years I would like to think it will come good. Eventually...
Wanting a position here myself but looking like catching a falling knife at present, that said, no one knows where the bottom is... GLA
0.5% Increase to Base Rate now 2.25%
Surprised it didn't go to 2.5%
Great to see the cinemas so full, Issue I guess with doing it more regular - say one a month is that people will wait to go on the cheap day meaning a less foot fall in the run up... I normally get 2 tickets for £7 with vodafone rewards and there are quite a few ways to get cheap tickets if your savvy which you need to be in the current environment.
@HOMER1234
Agree 100%
I used to go to Cineworld as my go-to cinema but at £10 per ticket I've traded down to Vue Cinema as I can get 2 tickets for £7 on my Vodafone rewards app. Cineworld is the better cinema but when times are tough £7 beats £20...

You make a good point about the wealthy borrowing money to make even more money, that's certainly how I imagine some professionals do it.
I just can't help feeling someone messaging on these boards asking about personal loans lacks the experience and expertise required. (no offense meant to anyone by the way)
PhoenixRising53 has a great option by drip feeding which is likely a safer route, especially over the sort term with all the headwinds around right now. GL all :)

So many reasons not to do the personal loan... Divi may be stopped/reduced. Further Share price falls. What if you personally can no longer afford the personal loan and have to sell the shares at a loss?
