    10% growth in both profit and Dividend each year for the past 5 years. Current yeild is 7% I only aim for 4 or 5% so if the dividend is cut to those levels I will still be happy if it grows more then even better.

    i would be vary about the sector. with gov bond yields falling even more, their liabilities rise and with stock markets volatile and potentially falling their assets side of the balance sheet also reduces.

    We are talking about an investment which is less 1% of my messing about / hobby fund which is to fund my early retirement for 10 years before claiming a final Salary Pension at 65. 8 years still to go to 55 so it is not a big risk. If I can't afford to go at 55 I'll still work I can always take the other early (I know about getting an actuarial reduction).

    The value of London property just fell on the global property market. That makes it more desirable to overseas buyers.

    Only of use as investment if they can rent it out or get permission to stay long enough to enjoy it.

    Both posts reported as SPAM - not a very active bot:cool:, but strange that they are still around?

    We chose not to reinvest in Index Linked National Savings.

    If interest rates fall even further but inflation rises then ILNS would have been a good investment.

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Some you win. Some you lose.
    Never trust a financial institution.

    IMO no hindsight at all was needed with that, it was a one way bet to renew for 5 years, since it is effectively penalty free if you bail out as long as you time it right. And forecast were (are?) for higher RPI so they were looking favorable anyway.

    Many house building companies were IMO oversold yesterday,and some of then will have very attractive dividend yields now. I'd expect a decent correction over the next week may buy some on Monday.

    I bought some on Friday morning, time will tell if I've got that one right but as you say the dividend yields look good.

    And some Directors made use of the dips too:

    also bought some more JD. shares.
