Yes indeed, a juicy dividend to look forward to :-)

Added a few when the pound was at 1.34 to the dollar Nice juicy dividend Friday

Blue, Given how some of my other investments have performed over the last couple of years I am not sure if there is more capital risk here, plus a fab dividend.

[panshanger1] 21/11/2024 08:04

Ex div today

Downside?

Arguably more risk to capital than with your average share. And unlikely to have capital growth. But the latter point is more than compensated by the earnings.

[eggbaconandbubble] 13/11/2024 12:08

Blue. 14.28% is fantastic. But working on the adage that ' One doesn't get something for nothing'.

What's the downside here?

[bluemango] 13/11/2024 09:15

Regular 2c Q3 dividend declared, paid 13th December.

The shares won't move much, but that's a fabulous yield of 14.28% on 0.56 USD.

full English, please don't shoot the messenger. I only pointed out that there are similar companies to FAIR. That is definitely not a recommendation. FAIR is my preferred pick by a long way, although I do have a few VTAS.

[scrwal] 08/8/2024 12:23

That's an early declaration and even earlier payment date than usual.

[bluemango] 08/8/2024 07:54

Regular 2c quarterly dividend declared, pay date 9th Sept.

graham, thanks for that. Im in TFIF already and will look closely at the other two.

Cheers!

Long term trend 5 or 7 years doesn't look too pretty. But add back your dividends and you would be in profit. Traditionally wide spread makes for poor trading opportunities. Technically has a wind up date in 2028 but FAIR will roll that over. My second biggest holding and in it to win it since 2015.

Alternatives TFIF, VTA, MPLS

The yield on theses (and FA17)seems too good to be true! What am I missing?

[cwa1] 23/7/2024 16:16

Couple of respectable trades gone through today

[grahamg8] 15/7/2024 06:41

Anything you add now will be priced in cheap dollars, and divi in dollars. Once the US election is out of the way I would expect the pound to drop relatively. Existing shares regain value and the new ones would be in profit.

[panshanger1] 12/7/2024 09:41

Strength of pound atm just undermining returns but still inclined to add a few more

[mondex] 10/7/2024 10:01

Many thanks Blue Mango for your help

[bluemango] 09/7/2024 09:27

I first bought over a year ago and have never regretted it - the income has been phenomenal and capital slightly in profit.

[bluemango] 09/7/2024 09:21

They are classed as having specific risk but HL will allow you to buy once you've gone through an additional regulatory process which is fairly straightforward. Basically it involves you putting on record that you understand the sector & their business model. They don't test you on your knowledge, you just have to answer yes or no! There are also some caveats about trades in a foreign currency which they have to repeat verbally each time you deal ..

Once done, you can then deal (by phone only) through HL.

[mondex] 09/7/2024 09:17

Anyone know why HL appears not to allow buying of FAIR?

[panshanger1] 30/5/2024 07:08

Ex dividend today

[euameus] 22/5/2024 12:50

I believe the correct comparison is today's discount versus the historical average. Since its inception, FAIR has consistently aimed to trade at NAV. I might have a go at calculating this later in the week.

[panshanger1] 21/5/2024 18:29

Think I'll go for 2 birds in the bushes !!

[grahamg8] 21/5/2024 15:54

FAIR yield is higher. Which do you want, bird in hand or two birds in the bushes?

[davebowler] 21/5/2024 11:30

VTA looks a better buy at 20%+ below NAV?
