    In short, if everything goes remotely close to plan it'll be a lot higher than 55p when the AL plant starts up in H1 2013. It now seems the plant will be ready early H1 which is great.

    The drilling continues apace and if that coincides with the plant then the numbers could be amazing. !


    Seems like there is space for speculation before then as they pull back a bit here. 46 is a level but 38 is the real point I would really like to buy at.

    I will try to base it off the Gold or GLD price, hoping we can do a pretty harsh pullback to 162 and get all the plebs out saying gold is a bubble. Nice scare to load up on


    QE3 was a bit of disappointment this year I think as its limited to just mortgage debt?

    Haven't bought anything for a while. Last thing was LLPC as mentioned by gadgetmind, very happy with those so far!

    If you were happy then, you should be delirious now!

    Well up on capital and paying out nicely twice a year. I reckon £1.40 is where they'll settle, and they are still a hold even there for me.

    I know equities hounds want ten baggers, but some fixed interest makes a nice backbone for the portfolio, though maybe these prefs are a tinge too junior to have as more than one or two vertebra!

    Yep, over the moon! I'm expecting the price to come down quite a bit after the ex-div date, as it's the full six months from the next payment; got plenty of overtime at work at the moment so I'm going to buy more when and if that happens.

    I'd still buy more at this price, but I think I'll get more bang for my buck by waiting till after the ex-div and foregoing this dividend in favour of cheaper prices.

    Actually the plain LLoy shares are not that far off how its moved in the last year. Of course they pay nothing, +50%


    GLD or gold is nearly at 162 now. Time to back the truck up I reckon, a nice flush on Monday would be nice to see on various names including AAZ. 46 was as good as it got so far

    I also hold some Lloyds ordinaries, and am up 40%+ on them, but these are obviously lower in the capital structure and don't benefit from the steady tick tock of dividends.

    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.

    Sold AUL on Friday. 40% in 6 weeks will do. There is the potential for lots more or to simply sink back to under 9p so that'll do me.

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