Millie, of course you and nick won't get anywhere with views which go totally against all evidence and the views of nobel prize winning economists who have analysed trading to the highest academic standard possible. Soz and all that mate, but my money is on the nobel winners, not anonymous bb posters who tell me they are whizz kid traders making a fortune by staring at past share prices.

In any case, short term trading necessarily is for peanuts, expecially in microcaps - simply from the liquidity and margin requirements. I think there's a scale mismatch in the level of investment you and me are discussing.

Anyhow, good to hear you admit that after 40 years investing, it's only the last few months you've been trading profitably. But randomness says you'll get occasional periods of successful trades, so all as expected.

I doubt any concerns about LGEN as a company are warranted, they are doing very well at the moment and have had to start hiring strongly as they have so much work in the new business pipeline (pension de-risking in particular).
With regard to Brexit challenges, the CEO has always said that it's neutral for L&G.

Alas SI, my four legged canine pal is long since dead. I used her name as my moniker in 2003(ish) when i registered...

Does your moniker describe your investment strategy per chance?

You won't get anywhere with some people Nick.
Unless you agree with their view you'll get slapped down with sarcasm & dissrespect.
They take a long term view & will poo poo all other stratagies...

Strange how some, ordinarilly very decent people, will write things on message boards that they would never say to one's face.
It's kind of like internet road rage....

If you 'trade' sucessfully as i & some others have been doing since March low's, keep it up.
Especially if you are making money.

Been waiting 6 hours over on BT board for these people to share their research on how they choose which stocks to purchase. (tho one, to his credit has)

....now the sarcastic & dissrespectful comments start.....

Good luck all

Nick, I'm afraid your reasoning and deductions make little or no sense. If you are trading I expect it won't be long before you won't be. Gl anyhow.

Sceptical "Nick, no disrespect but you don't seem terribly bright..."

You yourself has said you will sell it if the price isn't above 200p by the end of this week.

What is the concern you've expressed, if the dividend is obviously so safe to anyone who is presumably 'bright' (unlike myself) and hence the company is still going to be in great shape in the months/years ahead.

I'm just saying the market has a concern here and whatever it is, if validated, it will inevitably lead to a dividend 'rebase' ahead.

imastu......once dividends are re-instated on these beaten down stocks, the shorters will head for the door. They won't want to carry that divi risk....

Then that will have a + effect on the share price Assuming shorting is holding the share price depressed...
HSBC, BT....mant others

Find myself agreeing with all of that ima...
Traded this since March up at 370/400 range, and done ok, but got back in @ 319 other week; It will need to drop to flat 300 or lower for me to average down.

Feel HSBC is a good company & will be one of 1st banks to benefit as Asia comes out of downturn. Was 733 in 2017....

Waiting for RDSB @ a tenner too....

With respect, that's really not very respectful...

😊

Still on the sidelines. Made a lot on this a few months ago until it went further than the price I last sold at. Now back in range. But still waiting - some of the FTSE behemoths (BP, RDSB, HSBA, VOD) are at multi-year lows, and notably lower than a couple of months ago. The older stocks are really suffering. Not sure how relevant that is, but it does concern me.

Pierre "I said i'd never bought a 9% yielding stock."

So you haven't bought LGEN then, or if you have it was at higher prices yielding much lower. You said you made money buying Yield Traps?

The market is clearly concerned, hence the share price reflecting a huge Yield.

Woodhawk "A 5% yield is circa 350p."

Not when it's cut, which is what the current share price is indicating. Obviously you think the market is wrong or claim so, so keep buying.

Nick eh? I said i'd never bought a 9% yielding stock. So no, lgen isn't my first.

You have a funny view on divis. They are, in times like this, totally uncoupled from the price.

i.e. bt lloy with a current zero divi are not priced at zero, exactly the same reasoning as why lgen's divi isn't out of kilter in these exceptional times. If profits stay up, lgen will pay the same or increased divi irrespective of the share price.

You're talking absolute rubbish, Rubens. A 5% yield is circa 350p.
woodhawk

Ok cheers Pierre, so LGEN is the first 9% yield stock for you then.

5% yield in itself is good but they are not considered Yield Traps, that's likely why they have been maintained and even grown to give you a capital gain.

For LGEN to Yield a safer 5%, it would indicate a share price of around 120p.

RECI - bought on a double digit yield and held on and off for over 12 years - hasn't cut despite covid CINE - yes it's cut now with covid and too much leverage following transformational acquisition - but I held it for several years and it increased the divi most years GCP - bought it shortly after IPO - it was a 10 plus yielding stock - it didn't cut and I got the capital gain too

This increasingly looks like a leveraged bet on FTSE and if that has got another 10% downside for a second wave dip, we could see another 20% off the share price here

I've not bought anything yeilding 9%

I have many stocks which are giving me 50 and 60% return each year on my original purchase price, even though they yielded around 5% when i bought them.

That little nugget is why divis are an easy way to get rich slowly.

Nick Rubens,

This is a rather exceptional trading environment. Of course bargains will be thrown up.

"What did you buy yielding 9% or more in the last few years and they upheld the dividend for years afterwards?" - you don't have to look too far back to find tons of them. However, I suspect you haven't been in the market too long, so "too far back" might mean rather less to you than those with rather more perspective and experience.
