Even better now, the full year dividend after basic rate tax is 34.2 pence, todays share price is 538.50 pence making the yield 6.35%. It's a great deal, I might some more at this great price. :jOops - thanked by mistake (I do that a lot).
There are some good bargains appearing. Lloyds TSB yielding 5% - I shouldn't think they pay that on their savings accounts!Krusty & Phil Madoff, 1990 - 2007:

Well I am hoping for a big fall over the next month. As I am using my maximum allowance buying wincanton shares through a share investment plan at work so the lower the price the better.
They can go back up when I want to sell them. and not before!:D"A goldfish left Lincoln logs in me sock drawer!"

I think the BoE has over-cooked the interest rate hike !No Links in Signatures by Site Rules - MSE Forum Team 20

Yup - I don't think we're likely to see any further rate hikes now for a while. Should allow the last few rises to sink in, and underpin property prices.0

Well thats the ftse below 6000.
And who is leading the charge... Northern Rock. Can't say I'm really surprised. Looks like the UK Subprime is going to tumble too. Also noticed Northern Rock are down 50% in 6 months. :eek:0 -
Would now be a good time to put a few hundred quid in one of those ISA's that are tied to the FTSE100?
I'm thinking the same. Its just that awful feeling of how low will it go. I could see it going anywhere at the moment from below 5500 back to 6500 ish.
Probably leave it another week for me.0
