Well done philanderer. An amazing result.
Which is what the Terriers need in their very unlikely quest to stay up !
Good look to the Bantams too Aleman. It would be nice to have a proper local derby next season.

[philanderer] 26/4/2024 22:28

wllm, thanks for updating.

Just back from a local bar who had the Sky coverage of QPR v Leeds. The 4-0 was well deserved. We played them off the park and it means definite Championship football for us next season. Not sure where the three glasses of chianti went but hats off to Coach Marti Cifuentes for a fantastic turnaround job at QPR.

Good luck to everyone’s teams over the weekend

A slightly disappointing week for my lot underperforming the indices, however, a few of my larger holdings have gone xd in recent weeks and these should help May's figures. A lovely Spring like day today with lots of sunshine. Unfortunately, the Solis App that was fitted with the Inverter doesn't appear to work so I can't say how many KW we are generating but our dual fuel daily bill has more than halved. Cycling and a bit of tennis practice today, weather looks nice for this weekend.

Poorest day of the week for me - but overall an excellent week.
For once good results were well received by the Markets.
PZC AZN & ABF all had a great week.

BHP spoilt the party at the end of the week with a bid for Anglo American.

Up over 2% on the week and am thrilled that finally my portfolio is positive for the year at +0.20%

Enjoy your weekends :)

+0.8% today. Been a good week. It's a bit mixed but my investment trust discounts have been narrowing for a couple of weeks now overall and that's giving me a bit of a boost. YTD -1.0%. Got loads of dividends to come soon, too, probably more than I'll need to spend, so that might help.

Feeling a bit sore and swollen after doing too much but these jobs have to be done - two loads of washing washed and dried and made a proper homemade dinner of turkey mince "sheperds' pie". Football training beckons but there's been a horrible big black raincloud hovering nearby for hours. Hope it stays nearby there rather than here but I'm taking my brolly!

Big day for the Bantams tomorrow on very slim odds. Season ticket sales have picked up. Though still to be confirmed as down a bit, the price rise should see a similar or slightly better playing budget for next year. That looks a good prospect, given all the big spenders have been promoted and we already have the basis of a decent squad. Mind you, it was the same last year but we tore it up and started again. Can we learn from our mistakes? You never know with football.

Up the Bantams and have a good weekend.

[carpingtris] 26/4/2024 16:58

Good going DrB - don't mind handing over the top spot, lol

[carpingtris] 26/4/2024 16:58

Up 0.55% this week.

YTD is now +1.32%

BERI dividend received today and will be reinvested.

Good weekend all! Nice and Sunny today - so far! no doubt will change for the weekend.

Might look to add some more SNR next week - as always decisions, decisions.

[dr biotech] 26/4/2024 16:55

Finished the day up 0.4% - lagging the indices again but I've had worse.

Decent week though - up everyday, YTD +3.6%

[mrphil] 26/4/2024 16:54

A cracking day today saved the week, +1.41% taking me back into positive territory at +0.55% YTD

Family party tomorrow evening (I'm not a party animal) and we're hoping to check out our planned June car run on Sunday, despite the weather forecast!

Enjoy your weekends

US consumer sentiment, like the small business index, remains consistent with recession (that oddly keeps not happening). UP to 77.2 - but below 80 is typical of recessions and it's been below that nearly 3 years. A bit like the small business index keeps saying recession at below 95 for 3 years now yet it does not happen. That recently hit lowest for over a decade.

[mrphil] 26/4/2024 14:52

No problem Aleman.

m.j.g. I don't know anything about the EX30 other than my neighbour was talking about possibly getting one. He currently drives a Cupra Born which seems a great car but I think his wife feels it is too small. I only do a little over 10,000 miles each year and the wife around 5,000 if that, so electric suits us perfectly.

[m.j.g] 26/4/2024 12:40

Thanks EX30 a lot of issues with changing over night, believe it was rushed out before IT was 100%. Search engines recommend diesel for high mileage cars.

[aleman] 26/4/2024 12:25

I should have said thanks for the BMWi3 tip, MrP. I will look at it when the time is right.

[mrphil] 26/4/2024 12:21

m.j.g if it's fuel costs your aiming to reduce, you would have a job to beat electric. My I-Pace averages under 3p per mile in electricity costs for the majority of my motoring, and that's a very thirsty ev! Something like a Tesla 3, Hyundai Kona-e/Kia eNero or what about the new Volvo EX30 if you like the brand?

[m.j.g] 26/4/2024 12:17

Thanks I have a Volvo xc 40 petrol 1.5, I do about 17000 miles a year similar to your wife, what car would you think best mainly motorway driving, aiming to reduce fuel bill

[aleman] 26/4/2024 11:43

I have ruled nothing out, MrP. We'll probably swap the small car next year and it might be electric if the value is there. However, if mortgage rates do not come down again, we might swap it a later year.

(We swapped the last one a couple of years later than intended. It continued to do well and the good value offer I was looking for did not appear until recently, possibly due to more recessionary forces and car-buyers looking for cheaper running costs amongst smaller cars. Small petrol car depreciation has been EXTREMELY low lately. Our other car has only lost about £1500 to £2k tops in nearly 4 years and 48k miles - call it £500 per year. That was a well-timed, good-value purchase indeed, despite having to replace the clutch. A similar deal in future will be much harder to find, probably impossible.

[mrphil] 26/4/2024 11:32

Aleman, for the smaller car, don't rule out a BMW i3 which really is a cracking car.
