Errr because it looks a bit toppy, doh! But my ftse investments are showing good profit and giving about a 4.8% yield, based on the average price that I invested at. When you gross that up (because dividend income is only taxed at 25%) that is a 6% equivalent gross rate, how are your savings rates doing, lol?

Edit: I don't primarily invest for capital growth (although obviously I'll gladly have some) I invest for dividend income.

do dividends only ever increase?

That is the standard bear response isn't it, things can go down, so don't invest. Never mind houses are only about a £80k more in your area, than when you first started looking.

Answering your question, how long is a piece of string? Depends on the P/E ratio of the ftse, but if the average price you paid is cheaper than the current price and there isn't a great distortion between the P/E ratios, then obviously your yield (dividend %) will be greater.

EDIT: You know what is funny? You are trying to wind me up about my share investments, but in fact I am very happy with them (apart from not investing more earlier), yet you are about £80k worse off (plus all that extra rent) for not investing in property when you could have.

What do you expect from a crashaholic..... He's like a bad gambler chasing after his losses.

as long as you're happy thats nice
the problem with you bulls is that you only think about money
when i started looking to buy a house i was looking in tottenham
if i had bought i'd have £80k of meme money but i'd be stuck in tottenham. due to a change in circumstances its now better for me to live in east london

No you are totally wrong! Money merely provides money for me to enjoy my lifestyle (which isn't particularly extravagant), do you want to know what my most valuable asset is?


I bet you can't guess?

1, funding for lending - finished
2, quantitave easing - finished
3, foreign money - declining
4, low interest rates - meaningless if you can't get a loan
5, fractional ownership - factions will have to get smaller

whats holding up the house of cards?
OH ALL THOSE PESKY FOREIGNERS COMING IN!
