    I'm still kicking myself for not buying them 2 or 3 months ago, I was really tempted at 29p!

    Everytime it dipped below 30p I wanted to buy more and talked myself out of it. Still the right decision at the time as I'd be 'massively overexposed', whereas now I'm just 'slightly overexposed.'

    It should be 4.625p.

    Whether it makes more sense to buy now or later depends on whether you want dividend income or capital gains.

    Of course, you could diversify into NWBD. This has a slightly lower coupon but the Ts&Cs mean that a skipped dividend is unlikely and would actually better for holders in the long term.

    I'm thinking the fact that it'll be 6 months from the next divi will be priced in; whereas I don't mind holding for the 6 months, others might be thinking there's an opportunity cost to holding that long and choose something else in the meantime. We'll see!

    ISTR I bought my first wodge at a shave under 40p and a slew more at 22p. Yes, I averaged down, and not for the first time, which is something I need to keep an eye on!

    I now hold small amounts of Lloyds and HSBC ordinaries, and eye watering amounts of bank preference shares. Enough.

    However, my overall portfolio is fairly well balanced as I hold loads of stuff that would send the younger guys here into a catatonic sleep.

    HICL anyone? Or CGT? SLXX?

  • I have heard of HICL, Questor recommends them. Its an income thing then, the drop in 2008 makes me wary of risk/reward for it though

    Alongside HICL, I also hold JLIF, INPP and BBGI. Can't be taking risks with steady stuff now can we!

    I sold some CAZA for 161% gain, I think they can gain more so long as the fracking is ok long term and especially if they continue to get results like this from future drilling they got lined up

    Bought some AAZ. Also some RRL recently, too cheap even without Somalia and unpopular now. BG group, it might get cheaper but its fair.
    Today I think BP was a buy before ex-div and POG might gain from here, Im waiting for Gold to drop out to 1666 and scare people ? :eek: before a rise to 2000 :D

    Market is negative most likely, look for salmon stocks :p

    I couldn't have been more wrong about LLPC, it's made up getting on for half of the dividend! Could fall in the next few days but I doubt it. Not sure I'm tempted by paying 110p.

    If you think that LLPC has done well today look at NWBD!

    OK, low liquidity stuff like these jiggles around depending on whether the last trade was a buy or sell, but I think this is the highest clean price we've seen since 2008.

    By a long way! This is why I don't do 'trading' btw :p
