Hiya Gateside, All's as well as can be in this (getting worse) mad world! Great to be in touch. Yes, we were both interested in Hampson and also Firth Rixon (maybe?) plus a few others - at points in the now distant past. These days, I'm broadly with you - some FTSE100 plus a few Investment Trusts. I'm not a huge fan of the UK market, post Brexit, but have taken an interest in ABDN, ahead of its 2021 results due out 1/3/22. NOT punting this stock, or anything else! just commenting that it may be worth a look. Derived from Standard Life and Aberdeen Asset Management's merger, now rebadged as 'abdrn' - this is something of a 'turnaround' (under a new CEO) - that the market may have undervalued? Anyway, very best wishes to you, Gateside - I always enjoyed your wise posts, as you say, from an age ago! Finally, I do still hold HFEL which has been a very bumpy ride, as most on here would recognise. Under the circs, I thought it stood up well yesterday, but the Far East has appeared rather less of a 'sure winner' than seemed the case - pre-Covid. Where next? We'll see....

I thought same and topped up week before. I hate Putin :-)

NAV 293.3p. Showing resilience. Topped up.

SLL - not seen your name on ADVFN for an age - hope all's well with you.

We were both invested in Hampson Industries at the time I believe, were there any other shares that we discussed?

I tend to focus on FTSE100 companies and Investment Trusts these days.

We meet again, Gateside. Hope you're well! and that you remember various past exchanges.

Many thanks Gateside. Good find. Appreciated.

[woodhawk] 02/2/2022 17:03

Must've noticed my add at 290p!

[gateside] 02/2/2022 16:57

Nice sizeable directors buy of over £65000 today

[orinocor] 02/2/2022 14:41

Why is the NAV not moving. It's still at 283p. It's an achievement of sorts to get the NAV this low in these markets

[panshanger1] 29/1/2022 09:21

Doh !! 341.50

[panshanger1] 29/1/2022 09:20

52 week high of 241.50 on CNBC and HL ZacMight be April though

[zac0_4] 29/1/2022 08:33

342? Don't you mean 324?

[panshanger1] 28/1/2022 20:36

You could have bought @342 on 27/1 last year Asian markets have had a very tough year Still a decent trust with a great yield if you need to sell you have a problem if not collect the dividends and wait for the recovery Patience

I've long had a 285p topup limit buy on this. I'll be happy to get more at that price.

[zac0_4] 28/1/2022 10:15

I'll only be happy with my dividend once it ceases to be offset by capital erosion!

[gateside] 27/1/2022 21:53

As long as we keep getting our 8% dividend, I'm fine with my investment here.

[lord gnome] 27/1/2022 21:12

It's not really a raise, just a drip feed to accommodate fund managers who have money to invest. Shares issued at nav or thereabouts so not dilutive. I just wish some of them would buy on the market and give the share price a boost, but it is all about nav.

[exel] 27/1/2022 20:45

2 equity raises (today and yesterday) is quite impressive, given the wider scene.

[woodhawk] 27/1/2022 17:23

Thought the same myself. Nice.

[carpingtris] 27/1/2022 17:00

XD today - interesting that we finished so well :)

[woodhawk] 26/1/2022 23:06

Yes, I take full advantage of my Shares ISA every year; however for the next few years still some funds subject to tax until they too can be ISAed.
