Yes, I also use HL and it's the same on my end. Just a matter of patience here, like most investing.

I keep ELF on the watch list as a kind of comparison and as an indicator of SP moves in the sector.

Prov Spin off International Personal Finance posting strong results today, with a 16% increase in divi and and SP that's not all that volatile compared to PFG. Wish we could see this kind of stable growth at PFG. Hopefully we finally see the ship turning this year.

That's a pretty damn solid divi now.

I was asking myself precisely the same question and studying the chart pre-Covid rally / bubble. Always have to take into account the previous bull market / stimulus years as an anomaly that may not repeat. I have to watch myself and not get too excited, so I don't allocate too heavily to this. However, I still like it as a diversification from my index funds.

What do other think re: future prospects / value?

Curious where this goes tomorrow. Will it bounce off 690 like last time?

So, orders up and healthy profit. Yet SP down, what am I missing here?

My entry point was in the £7.XX range, so I feel okay about it. Of course, as Lordloadsoflolly points out, we can't really predict SP direction. With the macro environment as it is, probably some more downward momentum and volatility for the next year at least, but who knows?

I see opportunity to diversity a bit, and this is my vehicle to get into something a bit more risky in a measured way.

I reckon you have time at these levels. The Q1/2 probably noting going to very kind to the markets. Got a top up in this morning.

Looks like we are heading back to the 720p range, maybe even sub 700? Might be top up time.

Nice, lifts my hopes a bit for the SP post trading update / audit report.

I guess that's a pretty personal decision, depending on your risk appetite, but maybe 15-20%. I hold the Vanguard Developed world ex-UK as my main fund, as it's the cheapest fee I could find for global equity exposure. Then a few cherry picked ETFs / index funds in sectors that I like / think have future growth prospects. I'm still drip feeding here, not quite decided what my cut off is in terms of total value. Need to give that some thought.

Still watching to potentially buy in, trying not to FOMO into this one. But it's approaching attractive levels.

Same here, still drip feeding. Keeping a keen eye to maybe deploy a bigger chunk of cash in one go.

You can't trust the bought / sold value on here for toffee.

Bwahahah. Yes. I just want a half decent price to GTFO of this share.

I'm not confident this mini rally can last tbh. I think we may see thing cool off tomorrow / next week. A lot of talk about recession shifting to the later half of the year now as the US Market clearly still doesn't want to listen to what the FED is telegraphing.

Just to say well done to all who held their nerve (I certainly didn't!). Take some profit if you can for sure, because I could see the macro sentiment turn a bit sour in the 2nd half of the year when the tightening measure begin to be felt across the economy. Just my 2p. GLA and well done for keeping the faith.

Mostly states the obvious, but some coverage from Investors Chronicle:

Not claiming to have a crystal ball, but macro factors may see this dip below £30 this week, at which point I'm tempted to buy in for the divi.
