I took profits at 107.5 yesterday. Leave some for the next man - but more importantly it's about the dividend cover. I've been caught before on high yield stocks.

Good luck to all still in.

Goodness me, uncrossed at 107.5

Looks like the closing auction price did the job, Skinny. Gap filled. Onwards and upwards.

Fill the gap!

Have only been here 6 weeks but happy with the 8% so far +6% yield, what bank pays that.

BlackRock seem to have a small short (although they tend to short just about everything):

BlackRock Investment Management (UK) Limited 0.60% 2017-08-17

If they start to unwind it will create a short squeeze, boosting the price further.

Um?

KCOM reached roundabout 120p TWICE in 2016......

[abergele] 27/10/2017 19:08

Best of luck guys,
this seems the first time you could sell above the £1 mark since the day I had bought these back in 2002..for a quid each...and they fell away time after time,and gave up..gl all.
Oh I am not a holder now,so you're safe to invest...

[grahamite2] 27/10/2017 19:02

I came damn close to doing the same on the basis of the lack of cover mentioned a while ago.

I can't account for this unless someone knows something.

[toffeeman] 27/10/2017 17:35

I sold too soon (:

[skinny] 27/10/2017 15:47

Blimey up 3.50%!

Interim results 28 November.

[lord gnome] 27/10/2017 12:16

Moving up strongly today. Looks to have broken free of gravity at 100p.

[cinoib] 04/10/2017 11:38

If you are sitting on a few of these at 6% divi, dose it matter weather they go up a lot or not. with isa'a at 1.5 and bank at less than 1% I'll settle for 6% anydsy.

[lord gnome] 03/10/2017 17:10

Hopefully the traders who had set to sell out at 100 last time are already gone.

[toffeeman] 03/10/2017 17:05

Will it hold 100 this try?

It certainly came back down to earth with a thump yesterday. I was already looking forward to 120. Sigh.... dream on.

[toffeeman] 13/9/2017 08:54

Does't want to go above 100

[arf dysg] 08/9/2017 13:58

It's inching upwards, so maybe there's some good news in the air.

[rcturner2] 01/9/2017 11:38

My target is 7% a year total return. Anything above that is a bonus. On that measure this has been a great success for SQ.

[toffeeman] 01/9/2017 11:23

Yep - point taken.

[septimus quaid] 01/9/2017 10:53

Don't forget dividend accumulation which puts you well above anything cash would have returned.

Checking my records, also made a few bob on KCOM in a non-ISA account buying and selling (bought 2013 @ 85p, sold 2015 @ 118p).

My definition of "great return" is not losing money! Hence why KCOM (to me) have been a nice steady away share.

[toffeeman] 31/8/2017 20:48

Hmmm - that's not a great return over 10 years - but better than a cash ISA :)

[septimus quaid] 31/8/2017 19:08

Toffeeman,

I bought in two tranches:

2007 @ 75p and (mid) 2008 @ 43p

Not a stellar performance by any means but, as above, I am happy with my present returns.

With hindsight, the big buying opportunity was Nov 2008 (circa 11/12p!).

At 99.75p, the present yield is 6.02%.

[toffeeman] 31/8/2017 16:01

Arf - then I close my short

Sep, question: is has it given you a good return over 10 years?
