Flown into Newark a couple of times. Easier to get to Manhattan from there than JFK in my opinion.

I'm a happy bunny today. My 16420 LGEN shares average me at 228.91 and hence, today for the first time in a good while, I am in profit. £458 to be precise.

A friend of mine recently returned fromNYC. He said that's the best thing to do, as soon as you get there

New York is a great place for a few days holiday. Wouldn't wish to live and/or work there.

Are you in Manhattan net, and doing what kind of work. I'm just nosey and not offended if you wish not to answer.

Its great working from New York. You wake up and all the action has already happened. Its such a chilled way of investing in LGEN.... (or anything UK). I recommend trading in UK stocks to anyone living in New York.... Its like you have a much better picture of what is happening than people working on the coal face inside the UK coal mine..

If the UK stock market did not exist that would equate to £3 trillion pounds leaving the country (most shares are bought in pounds )

These buyouts are big numbers against LGen market cap.

Interest rate cut, all we can expect from the incoming government is rampant inflation, we are going back to the 70sBut with a sound track of Drake/Swift, not Bowie/Bolan

Lumphammer renamed as “The Medium Adjuster” by our crew when we had a rally car ;-)

My boat is well below the Plimsoll Line my friend thanks to all the share certs.spud

You are absolutely mad if you're not loading the boat down here. Look at PHNX. As soon as interest rate cut comes near, even a small token one, the money will begin to pour from safe havens back into here for this dividend. By time they cut, you've missed the dip, just saying.

Nice one skinny. I always considered a lump hammer to be the best software tool and s catholic priest best placed to diagnose a comms fault especially with 3270.

Joking apart - it was actually one of these :-

My first programming tools :-

[rose_by_another_name] 21/6/2024 09:48

I was one of a couple at our high school selected to apply
for a summer maths symposium at the state university, which
had a computer back when that was rare. The principle rejected
my application paper without submitting it, because he deemed
it too messy. The guy who did get to go dropped out after a
week, the perils of selecting applicants on the basis of
penmanship. He went on to have a career in electrical
engineering. I didn't get into programming until the early
home computers came out.

Off topic - I'm not familiar with Halma, but that's some chart :-

[yump] 21/6/2024 09:12

I’ve still got some punch cards from early 70’s, when our school computer club used to send a pack of them to the polytechnic and then wait a week to find out there was an error in line 50, so 2+2 could not be calculated. Fortran I think. Thanks to a geek Maths teacher for running that club and putting a load of us on the path to future geekhood.

Sold half a few years ago, no clue why. Pro rata it is now almost a 19 bagger and still criminally undervalued, given some of the nonsense out there it should be a 40-bagger at least.

[1knocker] 20/6/2024 12:44

epo, Halma should have done you OK over all those years.

I bought a few more L&G today, though the purchase does increase my average purchase price to 124.5 !! I first bought way back, at 98p if memory serves me right. Sold half at 191 a couple of years later and thought all my Christmases had come at once.

Factor in inflation of course and that sale was at a higher price than L&G stands today. No recollection as to where I reinvested the money. A kindly amnesia, perhaps. Inflation adjusted, a lot of 'blue' portfolios bottom lines would look distinctly 'red'.

Reminiscing boomers is veering dangerously off topic. Have been part of a OS development team and have written 3 mini-OSs to control complex devices. Worked on networking and distributed systems well before the web came along.

The most public thing I did was write a driver for a well known manufacturer of recording studio consoles while briefly employed by a well known firm of software consultants. This drove the faders on a console so that during playback the faders would move to replicate their settings while recording. Every significant British recording of the 80s and 90s has been made using those consoles which included my driver.

Started investing at about that time and still have one of the first shares I bought (Halma), now my taste is more towards dividend shares like LGEN. (Phew, back on topic.)
