 MC- i entirely expect many hilarious comments from this. the average chart on advfn is about as popular as a dose of the clap, and many seem to see the authors of such charts as a venereal disease. but i don't really give a monkeys about them.
i would say any decent value ftse stock is a buy, even a tracker. see very long term ftse chart from end of the 1987 crash below. it indicates that there might well be a significant movement soon. and due to its good value and even US asset managers making comments about uk being good value, we might be about to see the best return in my investing career.
none of this will make economic sense of course, the uk is bust. however consider if the £ experiences a "moment". significant loss in value. the overseas earnings of many ftse stocks will turbocharge them. and if they are cheap now, they will suddenly become the buy of the decade to overseas investors.
experience tells me that the link between the ftse and economic news is not always a highly correlated one.
and if you believe in precious metals being the saviour to uk investors as a hold of value through the turmoil, then silver could give you leverage over the gold price, and it is well away from catching up.
my 3 picks are stan, pru, silver

Nice rise today so far and EEE back on its upward trajectory ! Happy days. |
That's very specific C I.
I bought two lots of £5000 late last year and had a divi that I dripped. This rise has my value now at £10,414 at 154.15p rate.
I have no idea what has prompted this latest small surge but am mightily thankful for it.
I had considered selling the entire ABDN holding and place it elsewhere. But where?
SBLK seems a good home - I hold $18k but sitting on a paper loss so far of $5k albeit $800 divi has been placed into my SIPP bank account. SBLK has enjoyed a small rise from a quite low point of about $14.35 just over a week ago. It was $20.40 back in mid Nov. 2024. |
I'll be selling at 166p ! |
well it certainly seems to have made a small double bottom and is now above the 200mda. it has not spent much time there in the last 4-5 years. let's hope it is a relocation rather than a temporary holiday. a bit of resistance around 170p. if it gets above 180p it might really start going north. perhaps i am in optimistic holiday booking mode? lots of my usual doomed to failure value investments seem to have turned a corner. except vod which seems to be a permadog, although amazingly with the divvies i have had, i am in overall positive territory. for now at least. just waiting for bad news on interest rate outlook to send them all down the pan again! |
It went very well spud thankyou.
Celebrity seemed to have upped their game especially in the food area since the last cruise 18 months ago. Quite a few Russians on the cruise and at hotels/resorts before and after. Males of military age but clearly not military (overweight).
Even with the basic WiFi package on the ship I was able to keep abreast of the lack of activity in the market whilst I was away.
It appears my ii SIPP is operating OK again now on the main PC (no probs. on the app.) and I'm pleased to see my ABDN holding at an average of 151.247 per share shows a small profit just now. When I bought these two tranches in Aug '24 and Oct '24 my hope was to sell them for a small profit. Didn't happen but tempted now to hold for the next dividend which is generally in the middle of May. |
Have any of you seen AJ Bell's recent note on analyst's consensus for 2025 top picks of probable risers and droppers? ABDN leads their consensus of droppers. |
Nice to have you back Mike - Hope the cruise went smoothly.

It's very much hit and miss net. At 10:13 if failed, retried at 10:14 and it worked. |
Its back...
Phew..
No hack just some back end glitch...
Perhaps too much traffic...
people BUYING shares.. is GOOD for II share price.. |
"We are sorry but there was a problem loading Account View. Please try again later."
oh dear. |
ii is causing me problems just at the moment with regards to access to the share holding specifics in my SIPP.
My 'phone app. is working fine but not the version on the main PC. Cannot show the Portfolio > Investments.
Hoping it is only a temporary fault - but such should not be happening at all.
UPDATE: seems OK again now. Thinking it was probably not a hacking issue but rather a connection to market pricing issue as I could gain full access to my Transaction History thoughout.
FURTHER UPDATE: Back with the error as net points out below. |
I hope ii has not been hacked and that is why its going down a bit...
Come on ii get that site up and running again.. |
i see lio ceo and cfo bought in quite heavily recently as well as £0.5m here
still not sure this is the point of a return to active fund management
is it a "fight them on the beaches moment"? |
High dividend and share price growth, holy grail of investing, when we get the first BOE rate cut, that's when you will see share price push a lot higher. |
Teeny bit disappointed again
Will persevere here Abdn and with Phnx but is very difficult in such a slow market.
I have no interest in tech shares Dividends are all that matter to me so Nvidia and the like just pass me by.
Over hyped and over blown
Still think Trump will create a few more waves but is more compelling watching than the mind numbing droning by both Starmer and Reeves. Political mogadon.
Have a good one everyone sleep well |
has it stopped getting cheaper is the question? |
That's my point, cheap. |
spud: Market cap of AJ Bell is about £2B....
I think II is a better website for share trading than AJ Bell..
so really ABDN minus II is currently valued at about £600M - is that a bit cheap? |
They overpaid Monty - I'd say a fair valuation is probably nearer what they paid back then.
spud |
Any guess what ii worth, must be over 2 billion+ it's the best broker I reckon.I think they paid 1.5 billion if I remember rightly. |
2d now. We are chasing a moving price. And it's moving upwards!. |
Surely nearer 3½d? |
Only another 10d to go. |
