Indeed, it felt good adding around the 350p mark a few months ago, lol.
Accuracy of predictions to be reviewed in the year 2024 assuming we remember to ;-)

SuperiorWill give you credit unlike many bears you have put a timescale and a price to your prediction but I think you are wrong.While it's obvious the fed stimulus has driven at least some of this rise there are few signs of it ending and Biden will do everything in his power to prevent a drop.Also most think the trend is for dividends to recover and there is evidence of a move into value.Time will tell but I am happy to hold and will be happy to add if we get anywhere near your prediction!

Superior - the price is still about 10% below what it was prior to corona. It's also about the same as it was 4 years ago ! Your price target is £3.00 over next 2/3 years, mine is £5 - £6. Yes, there will be some serious shareprice declines over that period, but more in the tech bubble/ growth stocks imho. The value stocks here should do ok, imho of course.

If you've not read the annual report I'd encourage you to do so - very well put together and useful insight into the way this trust is run

Against the flow. I will stick with my theory this will be around the £3.00 mark over the next 2/3 years .
It is almost back to its share price that it held prior to Corona .
For my thick brain this means the virus
Has had zero impact on all its holdings :-)
On the virus all the " Not in my backyard Europhiles " have you seen all the poor children dieing in Brazil and India .
September is coming and with our open border policy the new variants will be welcomed in the UK .
Here's my global death toll for you . It will be 5 million by March 2022.
I did three previous calculations on the BP thread and all where very close to exact .
There is a global correction coming and I am pretty sure all high yielders will ultimately have to cut their dividends ?
Brainy global leaders you need to keep printing money . Printing money , printing money printing money , printing money , printing money .....
Good luck Investors .

The sooner they start investing in 10 to 15% outside of the UK the better.
MRCH are over reliant on income Tobacco stocks, which is an industry in decline.

#1483,

I believe that the unbroken period over which MRCH has paid increasing dividends is 38 years. There have been a few "really bad bear markets" in that time!

yep and we would all have to eat worms in the garden or
the yield here would go back to 9% plus and we could all buy
some more and start out again.

Of course if you had a really bad bear market you could be cannibalising the fund at an alarming rate.

But he adds: We expect UK dividends to be down this year and the question is, will they stay down? The revenue reserves are finite. And [if we did pay income out of capital] investors would still get their total return because it is given to them. We are an income trust and there is a big constituent of people who are keen for dividend growth to continue. But we would be more comfortable doing this in rising rather than falling markets.

CTY

I would guess that like CTY they will pay part of any dividend
shortfall from capital.
If like me u intend to hold forever, where the dividends come
from of no concern as long as they are paid.

In the case of JP Morgan Global Growth & Income the decision to set a fixed dividend target of 4%, paid from capital if needed, seems to have helped eliminate its discount to net assets.
