The three stocks I reckon every income investor should have, good yields, dividend cheque on the doormat every 13 weeks.Shell, GSK and HSBC. My core holding.

spud, if you are particularly interested in income, HFEL may be worth a least monitoring. Unfortunately usually very little discount o NAV because it's popular with income seekers. Usually best looked at on a... world
is ending day.

EI. Who cares? Those like myself who hold not for capital growth but income. spud

Who cares, seriously, the markets may well have priced it in already.
Worst case they skip 2 or 3 payments?, big deal.
The share price is nearly £4.50 a share lower in just a few weeks,
a quarterly dividend in that context is a blip.

Rubbish, one of the safest dividend paying shares, cheque on the doormat every 13 weeks.

Yes....they can now safely cut dividend under cover of covid.

It will preserve cash for the very difficult year ahead.

Not necessarily toast but could be reduced, yes, that's feasible. If it's purely based on first quarter January and February were already in the bag really until things really hit. However, they may, looking ahead, choose to up their cash reserves to weather the storm in Q2 and beyond. As has already been mentioned though, any hits felt here will be broadly similar elsewhere.

Pharmacy's are overrun by demand their shelves are empty,why pharmas shares going down?

[montyhedge] 24/3/2020 14:26

No way, the dividend safest of all.

[essentialinvestor] 24/3/2020 10:29

Michael, I think the dividend may be in some doubt over the next 12 months,
in the grand scheme of things it's not really an issue.

Find a strong tree that will support a rope.

Beautiful day outside for a nice walk :)

This is unprecedented, outside of war.

[zicopele] 23/3/2020 20:25

DYOR...you might start by looking out the window and perhaps noticing that economic activity has .....stopped.

[badtime] 23/3/2020 19:46

It always has it always will

[spud] 23/3/2020 16:25

zicopele is on virtually every thread peddling doom - Best to ignore imo and form yer own opinion.

It could be that we have landed a new species of Coronavirus on this board which has escaped from some GSK lab .

[watfordhornet] 23/3/2020 16:21

Understand that but they do have a chunk of products that should stand up well in this market

[tradermichael] 23/3/2020 16:15

Peddler of doom !

Massive demand destruction and probably no dividend this year.

Carrying excessive debt so balance sheet not robust.

Apart from that not much is wrong.
