Unless it has the same problem as BP and then drops divi as well as share price.

At least a fund is diversified so the yield and price is more secure.

Some investment trusts are yielding over 4%, even most trackers are over 3% so much more than money in the bank.

I used to have the all share tracker for years. Wasnt great and wasnt terrible, I reinvested the dividends.

Right now I prefer the FTSE 250 because it excludes all the fat cat giant companies hopefully in favour of growth

excuse my silly question, whats XEL? the company symbol?

XEL is the symbol or epic designation. It can be 3 or 4 letters or sometimes two with a dot after like BP. or BA


If you put it into google then choose the more menu and then finance thats a pretty good starting point and it gives a paragraph to read on the company

ok my punt for the next couple of weeks CEY RNS due Nov 3rd

You think good news for them ? CEY in a bit of a range for now, just off the bottom.
Holding pattern while awaiting some results would match that I guess
[I would rather buy at 161 or 148, holding just a bit at this higher price]


Shell is great but what if they had a BP incident. Though BP price didnt fall till later of course


I noticed KAZ is 40% off the July bottom, 1431 is rough resistance for it but I think it could go back to this years highs


Dollar index is down on the day but viewed from afar we are going sloping sideways 76-78 in Oct.
Shares have become just pawns in the currency war I think its a fair strategy for now to sell high buy low and dont go too far on expecting more though Im speaking of big shares mostly


G20 main event, senate elections and BOE possibly doing QE is the agenda approaching.





This is the chart for JIIS or JII options
