Looks oversold, I suspect the trading statement later this month will show solid progress.

Is it right we have given up all the Brexit bounce and FTSE rally?

[its the oxman] 16/1/2020 14:04

1800p, time to buy?

[ochs] 15/1/2020 10:23

Thanks. I have a feeling they've still not been able to off load the unquoted stocks though - which means if their 'value' is currently included in the quoted asset value then the final value may still be lower. hTTps://www.hl.co.uk/funds/fund-discounts,-prices--and--factsheets/search-results/l/lf-equity-income-accumulation

Is there a definite date for the Woodford 'outcome' or has it been put back? Porsche1945 says Friday 17th - can anyone else confirm? Thanks

[growthpotential] 14/1/2020 21:51

Nah they going to 2000

Will be interesting to see reaction at the end of the week when the poor idiots stuffed into woodfords dross finally have it confirmed how much they have lost, much wailing and gnashing of teeth, will the regulators have to be seen to do something and how much will it affect share price. Looking to get in on these on further weakness, 15.50 would be nice, heres hoping fridays news atrocious.

Strange move today upto 1900p then closes 1830p.

[ochs] 08/1/2020 12:19

Yes, so half year figures to 31 Dec are due 31 Jan. If there were any problems with meeting forecasts they would have already announced it, so we can assume the results will be broadly inline. Be interesting to see if they keep upping the dividend and what they say about the full year outlook. I'd be a buyer under £18 at present, will have to wait and see if the shares slip any further.

With overall market levels having climbed higher these look overdue a bounce sub 1900p. Next set of results will be interesting.

Funny, after months of bashing HL. over W, one of the Mail's team is now tipping them for 2020:Https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/investing/article-7832985/STOCK-MARKET-WATCHLIST-predictions-2020.html

Looks like a sensible non-exec appointment - and interesting that John Troiano is also joining the fund manager's board to provide 'challenge' ;)

[inthemix] 16/12/2019 17:58

No Lomax didn't enjoy the rise. ":^(

[jubberjim] 14/12/2019 00:39

Agree complet oh is not the first time this has happened All to often the website does not get up and running when there is flux in the market Hope they get their act together It is just not good enough

[lomax99] 13/12/2019 09:36

Hope the shorters are enjoying the rise........

[jfishy55] 13/12/2019 08:33

18bells, all sorts of problems this morning, technical issues, unable to get quotes, weird password issues. Failed to make a number of trades - pretty disappointing for what I thought was a pretty resilient platform.

[18bells] 13/12/2019 08:18

Has the HL website broken down? No trades due to "technical issue"

[j0sekl] 12/12/2019 00:26

lomax, when past reputation and backward-looking numbers seem to define their research scope, it's easy to find good stats hence the wealth list looks ok, but I doubt they have +5% outperformance unless there is some factor tailwind. The reality is that Hargreaves have no forward predictive power on their fund research imo. They can only comment on well-established retail funds, and usually regurgitate the marketing spiel. Plus HL provides this 'research' for free. No proprietary value.

[lomax99] 09/12/2019 13:58

Well in addition to making the list, they also seem to do mysteriously well for their clients: 'This research has resulted in the selection of funds onto the Wealth 150/50 which have on average outperformed both their relevant benchmark index and their sector average after charges, by 5.8% and 11.8% respectively over the period they have been on the Wealth 150/50 list.' Extract from a letter from C Hill, CEO to Rt Hon N Morgan MP, dated 18/6/19

[hpcg] 09/12/2019 13:12

If the fund manager offers them advantageous terms versus other platforms they mysteriously make the list. I think the reason for the shrinkage from 150 to 50 is that open ended costs have trimmed so there is less scope to offer a bung to one platform.
