    Got my paperwork yesterday, shame they bought the re-ivested shares when they were trading at £2.50, now the shares are at £2.20

    Holding out for £2.70 then I'm selling can I set it up so they sell at £2.70 automatically through compushare?

    Disastrous fall to 217p

    I'm going to continue to hold on the basis of the yield, and hope that they can continue to grow this in spite of difficult times.

    It's probably best to avoid all banking and insurance shares for the next year or two. It'll only probably get worse than it already is.
