I added yesterday at slightly over 58p. I'll continue to do so when funds allow.

With a dividend slightly over 5% wrapped in an ISA I'm comfortable with that.

I also believe that this year we'll see the back of 60p.

Time will tell. Good luck all.

That must be circa 6 months of buybacks. And another 3 months to go. Maybe another one starts not long after. Seemingly nothing else can move the share price

UT I’m only backing 2 horses today - both in 5.20 - EBTs Guard (looks good for each way) and Madame de Sevigne (ridiculous price for each way given the drop in weight for a very fast time last time out and running on) NAI !
And if I get the forecast ………;.

Is he "The Boy Named Sue"?

[utrickytrees] 23/8/2024 11:00

Got the feeling it's going to be a tough day, I actually hate these festivals, no form to analyse. Will be backing Rossa Ryan in the first but can't see anything I fancy after that.

I have always been cynical about the benefits of WFH.

But in some sorts of jobs it would be possibly more efficient to WFH.
Sensible use of online meetings and computer based activities can be done without the hassle and expense of the daily commute.

Millions of people gridlocked in traffic jams travelling long distances to work in offices where they are operating behind a computer screen.
Or crowded onto a train to make a tedious journey to the office, it is so inefficient.

Cutting out this wasted time and effort getting there must be a big advantage provided it is properly done and managed.
It could become a skivers charter unless properly managed,

Even education on line can be efficient if done well, as in lockdown. The role and values of universities for education is being hotly debated.

But then the development of people skills communication skills and the rest are probably just as important as mere facts of learning.
