M&g Share Discussion Threads

I think you are right skinny. Lock in a capital gain for example before the rate gets cut in a few days time.

I think a pullback is healthy now ahead of another leg up so took some more today and will add again too next week in the new tax year.

Good luck all 👍🏻

Highest volume of the YTD so far today.

You have to wonder with the high yielding shares - how much of the selling is end of year tax tidying.

Yes, the MMs are playing a strategy imho. I'm just staying put, but it's a long time to the next big divi. Dead money somebody called it.

Interesting share price move post XD, gapped down 13.2 pence as expected which it should and then kept going, 200 pence on the 8th would be ideal for ISA additions indeed .. :o)

I heard rumours of 180p share price this month..cross fingers.

[adejuk] 02/4/2024 15:16

hope it rests here until 8th.

[rongetsrich] 02/4/2024 12:22

Let's hope so, but doubtful, this share is more likely to head north with great results and a solid plan.

[baldrick1] 02/4/2024 11:45

Would we see under 200p again here?? Any expert??

[helen troy] 02/4/2024 11:05

I'm waiting for 225 to switch a tranch into Tesco. Final divi sometime soon and was over 9p last year.

After getting the divi locked in last week I have decided to add on any pullback to 217.

If the broadening out / focus towards the UK and Europe continues to gather pace this is a great place to look so while not helping my average, long term it will help my total return in my opinion.

Good luck all 👍🏻

Wish the majority of my other holdings were giving me a choice between income and capital growth rather than how much they have fallen!

[rongetsrich] 01/4/2024 13:19

Irish Pete, does Buffet create growth or income?

[luderitz] 31/3/2024 18:39

They are as far as I’m concerned.

[pierre oreilly] 31/3/2024 12:55

Well Buffett never pays a divi from Berkshire Hathaway, so divis are not a nobrainer, unless you think Buffett is a bit braindead.

Just a different approach.

Dividends are completely neutral from the company perspective.

Either they give you cash to do something with via divis, or they do something with it themselves.

I much prefer to get my mits on the cash, so prefer divis. Others like the divi cash held by the company which leads to a higher share price. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other.

Fair one, I’m of a similar mindset, with Aviva, LGEN and here as my staples.
The thing is, funds and trusts are also part of a stable portfolio.

[luderitz] 30/3/2024 12:56

I personally will never buy shares in a company again that does not pay a dividend, to me it’s a no brainier.

I did when I started investing and caught a cold more often than not.

[skinny] 30/3/2024 10:25

A bit simplistic, but may be of interest :-

[luderitz] 29/3/2024 07:34

I think I know Skinny well enough to administer fairly the running of this thread.

[spud] 28/3/2024 21:24

I'm sure Skinny can get a grip Ron. spud

Game over people - unless it's to do with M&G - please take it else where.

[luderitz] 28/3/2024 20:05

Drop today due to going ExDividend so no surprise there.

[rongetsrich] 28/3/2024 19:48

No. Genuine poster affected by some horrific world events.Narrative is good generally, so nothing to see here.

[adejuk] 28/3/2024 19:36

russian hack

[luderitz] 28/3/2024 19:30

My post was merely responding to the other peoples posts about our conservative government. Nothing more and nothing less.

So stop winging.

[rongetsrich] 28/3/2024 19:18

Spud, would you consider creating a thread? You have a gold standard set with Aviva, perhaps replicate that success?
