What stock level are you aiming for, Gateside?

Our relatively large holding in VUKE (currently c12.5% of portfolio) has meant that today's paid Dividend represents an increase to our portfolio of about 0.13% before taking into consideration today's share price changes. Note that, if the market wasn't so overbought, our VUKE holding could have been almost double at ex-div time.

Only said in jest, I hold a few.

KGF is my favoured longer term retail play, no one likes it atm and there
are reasons for caution, longer term looks better to me.

You should read Next annual report. I think they will surprise the market on how well they do in the next few years. And in the mean time loads of cash flow and dividends for shareholders.

Our investments market performed again today with a a gain of 0.50% as opposed to 0.54% for FTSE100. Of our remaining 29 shares, 14 closed Up, 10 Down & 5 Unchanged. Zero trades today so stock level steady @ 50.3%.

I've never really noticed much of an upwards move at the start of a new tax year...doesn't mean to say there isn't one but probably negligible if there is.

Currently futures pointing to DOW opening Down (60) odd points so scope for further gains for FTSE if America trades firmer this aft...I was expecting DOW to recover to c20980 (from 20413 on 28 Mar) in about 9 days which would be this Friday so FTSE could yet be propelled to a new high before correction gets underway although, more likely, a recovery extension to c7399 as per my original expectation albeit taking nearer 9 days rather than my original suggestion of 3 days.

Our investments market performed today with a a decline of (0.61%) as opposed to a decline of (0.55%) for FTSE100. Of our remaining 29 shares, 5 closed Up, 20 Down & 4 Unchanged. Tried to induce a fall by Adding to Trackers so stock level increased to 50.2%...silly me, it worked.

Still no clear move downwards for FTSE (and America)...in the first instance, if we are in a correction, we should expect to see a lowering of 7256 pdq. That would at least confirm that a second Down wave is in play and indicate some sort of correction is underway.

It continues to amaze me how many novice investors believe that a small decline of, say c(01.00%), is a correction...they don't know they are born. Arguably, the comparable period to now started on 3 Sep 1991 when FTSE reached 2684. It then spent almost a year correcting, reaching 2261 on 25 Aug 1992. Note that this wasn't a Bear market merely a decent size Phase correction, a decline of (15.76%). The prior Up Phase, which also lasted about a year, had seen the FTSE rise from 1974 to 2684 which was a gain of 35.97% (very similar to the 35.40% (5500:7447) FTSE has put on since Feb 2016).

The Phase correction to 2261 actually represented a give back of [59.58%] of the prior Phase gains. Personally, assuming we a now in a Phase correction, I fancy the give back this time will be more like c[52.00%] giving a target of c6435 and lasting around about 6 months.

That would, therefore, be a good result for many sensible Bulls (like me) albeit not for those who are currently 100% invested.

DAX getting close to its 2015 ath of 12391...providing more evidence that Germany are in charge having managed to conquer Europe through their new master plan conceived in the late 1940s and 1950s whereby through a combination of hard work and stealth (rather than military means) they would aim to dominate Europe partly through the exploitation of Southern Europe via a common currency. Why the likes of Greece, Spain, Portugal & Italy would want to continue to remain in the EU is beyond me.

Yes, everybody's circumstances are different and there are many factors that will affect investment preferences. My wife and I are both retired and drawing down from our SIPPs which generate most of our income. As such, a degree of cautiousness is warranted. In addition, our portfolio is almost half made up of a cash element which is used to generate additional income (taken annually). Also, I will start receiving my state pension from August this year.

Hi Pat, my position may be a little different to some.
My better half still works, but I gave up work at 43, so dividend income
makes a meaningful contribution to my outgoings.

It's why I consider shorter term trades as can monitor closely,
something some may not have the time, or indeed the inclination to do.

However psychologically this is not an option open to me on a continual basis,
need breaks and market conditions do not always suit this.

Thx for the update EI.

Agree that holding a large cash position is also a risk but we are not as focused on dividend income as many investors - being more growth, trading and timing focused - and I would be comfortable holding as much as about 70-80% of our portfolio in cash if the market looked to be very expensive and on the brink. That isn't the case at the moment but I would look to hold about 60% cash if FTSE imminently puts in another Up wave to beyond 7447.

Of course, these considerations are not an exact science and, IMO, it is always advisable to adopt a non-extreme position by holding some stock in order to generate an element of profit just in case equity markets develop a case of irrational exuberance.

Finished Friday with 34% cash, that is my maximum.
At that level it's costing me quite a chunk of lost dividend income over
a 3 month timeframe, over 6 months it would be very costly, without market downside.

Cash gives optionality, always viewed that as a main benefit, however running
a large cash position is something I also view as a risk- the risk of being
out of the market.


Last week DLG was a nice contributor, took a quick 4% there on the Friday pop.

On Thursday I bought in to the REIT BLAND and increased my HLCL holding,
both responded nicely on Friday. Considered GBP would gain some support post A50,
which happened. It may be short lived so watching that carefully.

Sold a chuck of my longer term holding in SHRS, at 248 and 245

Bought back in to PHNX, mainly Thursday/Friday morning, increased my small SL.
position. Small trades in SKG and BRSN. Traded HSTN through out the week.

nasdaqpatEach Council has control over Education up here within their local area e.g. Highland, Moray, Orkney, Shetland etc. And the whole thing is run by Education Scotland who are in turn responsible to the Scottish Government.Many parts of the Highlands thrive today due to the internet and broadband. Though in some of the remoter places mobile signals can be very patchy. I was busy with work and was on one of the smaller outlying Orkney Isles for part of the time.

Now that we have reached April, markets could top out at anytime (if they haven't already). A c(61.80%) Phase correction of 5500:7447 would lead to c6244 for FTSE by October...that would represent a decline of c(16.15%).

Its starting to look less and less plausible that there will be one more Up Segment for Western markets prior to the main (Phase) correction! May still get an odd looking additional Up wave to beyond 7447 but then it would be time for a big bail out, IMO.

Presumably, you work for Highlands & Islands Education then Gateside?

With your job, do you sometimes also need to go as far North as Shetland as well as Orkney or is it that there is some kind of residential training located at the latter?

Do Orkney, Shetland etc have some sort of fixed line Internet & Broadband facility? Presumably, the Mobile service is patchy if you couldn't access from your Smartphone/Laptop/Tablet? Irrespective, it must be quite quiet up there at times!
