Surely nearer 3½d? |
Only another 10d to go. |
Looking for 30 bob. |
Strangely, in spite of the very weak futures, I'm having a better than average day with LGEN, AV., MNG, PHNX etc actually ahead. Who knew?
Is there a movement from hi growth, go-go, tech stocks to more boring, decent yielding, every day money making stocks going on?
Whatever it is, it's a funny old game as the Saint might have said to Greavsie(sorry, showing my age there!) |
Of course, but you need a couple of 10% dividend payers in your portfolio.Look at US tech going to be hit big time at 2.30pm especially Nvidia , now is that exciting enough for you. |
montyhedge: Exactly my thinking...
But I like to have SBTX on top of that as a toy explosive share... Life is to be lived and investing just for dividends is a tad bit too boring for me.....So have to have at least one FUN share... |
I treat ABDN and Phoenix as a bond, paying 10%, ok shares go up and down, as long as they pay who cares, its for income boys. |
Gary: I have been moving into cash apart from:
Japanese Tracker, German Tracker, South Korean Tracker.
FTSE big dividend yields (ABDN, LGEN, PHNX, MNG)
AIM potential boom share: SBTX
PSON - Pearson- I am a massive believer in online and AI education
Everything else is slowly going.... (although EBAY really is not expensive - quite a low PE ratio for a tech stock (and dividend paying))... |
Have to say that I am struggling to buy into this market presently and have reasonable cash levels with more to come shortly from corporate actions. ASLI I am treating as effectively a cash holding with the liquidation taking place.
Read an article this morning that the Buffett indicator is at record highs and is signalling a market correction and BH have increased their cash position greatly in 2024.

If you buy lemons you can make lemonade.
Didn't like the rebrand and didn't agree with it. But it is what it is, I would imagine it cost a few bob at the time and coupled with the share buybacks under the previous CEO (Bird) and with the full agreement of the Chairman(Flint) and the BOD have done nothing for the small investors such as myself.
I do see better days ahead as investors come out of their hiding places but with Trump machine gunning his statements on all and sundry will take some time for any confidence to revive in the market.
Any share with the look of paying over 10 % gets my attention but am also mindful to hold sufficient cash to offset any sudden down turn in the markets.
Think certain fund managers have been oversold hence my sells of both Aviva and Direct Line(although looking a tad premature) have been used to buy into IPX and LIO
As for Abdn Lgen Mng and Phnx will continue to swap in and out as and when the opportunity presents itself.
The storms currently besetting the markets will blow themselves out in due course
It will take a few more weeks for things to settle down so as I have stated previously happy to just JUB in and out wherever that may take me.
Talking of lemons I do have a few in my portfolio currently languishing in my own limbo 'The Sock Drawer' CPI SDY and 'GSK' but I remain hopeful
Currently listening to 'I S I H A C' which sums me up perfectly but is a lot funnier
Best of luck to you all |
SF: during 2025 ABDN is up more than the average FTSE company (I think)...
I know its only been a few weeks but it hasn't been doing so bad... Touchwood.. |
ii have just updated their login page to get people to download
the APP...
They appear to be pushing the app as that leads to many more transactions through the working day (I guess).... They will have to be careful not to encourage punters to get hooked on a form of gambling..
Apart from that its probably a good idea... |
Lol, no idea these junior analysts. |
Barclays must've been giddy with excitement about Abrdn when they penned this "raise" ;-)
*BARCLAYS RAISES ABRDN PRICE TARGET TO 135 (130) PENCE - 'UNDERWEIGHT' |
ABDN Market cap £2.65b, so on that basis, the financial side is Market valued @ £650m Monty. Strip out the cash and we're into a negative valuation.

Every time someone somewhere in the world says Trump, the FTSE goes up. |
170p before next ex div my forecast and still good value. What is ii worth must be 2 billion, looking at other broker market caps. |
SP on the way up after good update |
When shares go up..
more people are using II..
A rising tide raises all boats...
II is a tech stock in the same way Amazon or Microsoft or Ocado... |
When we get the first interest rate cut and everyone scrambling looking for high yield stocks, ABDN 10% will be there.Look at UK gilts seems investors locking in 4.5% yields now.BOE must cut this year at least twice. |
Should be back to 175p. |
Perhaps once II can pick only winners for me using AI capabilities then I'll call it a Tech stock ... |
