[veryniceperson] 26/7/2016 17:22

Thanks tim3. If they go back to 400 ish shall have a few more.

From earlier this month,

[tel5] 23/7/2016 19:58

onwards and upwards all the shares in this are doing well now , and a good income whilst we recover the capital value .

[asmodeus] 18/7/2016 20:54

I think you will find it advantageous,Tim,

[tim 3] 18/7/2016 10:09

In all honesty not really researched investment trusts,might take a look.

[asmodeus] 18/7/2016 09:43

What persuades you to go in for Unit trusts Tim? (rather than Investment trusts).

[tim 3] 15/7/2016 18:40

Thanks EI for pointing these outVery interesting share.Looks like the financials have pulled it down while gsk has helped it recently The divi is incredibly consistent probably the most consistent I have come across Considering getting in at £4 or below as it looks like a good entry.Looking for a long term steady income investment.In terms of yield these look better than many of the equity income unit trusts I follow although the fall from £5 would have seriously reduced total returns.

tel, below the top tier holdings they hold SL as one example, PRU from
memory, MKS etc.

MRCH generally underweight defensives.

[tel5] 07/7/2016 17:07

seems strange that share price languishing in the mire given that most holdings have risen lloyds been the poorest performer in the holdings , also 6p dividend for holders on 15 th of month

Turned into a very good week. Who'd have thought that on Monday morning...!?

[essentialinvestor] 01/7/2016 15:21

+ 2.5% on NAV on today's update.

[essentialinvestor] 01/7/2016 13:17

We may be near the pre Brexit NAV on these prices today, may exceed that.


Powerful rally here.

[essentialinvestor] 01/7/2016 07:47

What a difference a few days make, we should open well Up today.

[essentialinvestor] 28/6/2016 14:18

With that update I make the NAV fall 11-12% over the last 2 trading days,
tomorrow likely to see an uplift if current market levels hold.

[essentialinvestor] 28/6/2016 11:09

WO, the gearing here is also worth noting imv, that was some fall in NAV
on yesterday's update, the reverse applies on better days.

However the MRCH current focus looks underweight defensives.

[wirralowl] 28/6/2016 10:52

Agreed, EI, got to tread carefully atm, ftse 250 hit very hard relative to the 100 these last couple of days. Today's NAV statement will be interesting, but I wouldn't want to be buying at a premium right now...

[essentialinvestor] 28/6/2016 09:59

Surprised to see some Buy trades going through well in to the 390's this AM.

NAV took a huge hit on the update yesterday, it looked about a 6-7% fall
and is likely to be lower again on today's figure.

Bought a small amount just under 385 yesterday, around that level or
lower looks a better entry point imv, unless you consider markets will
continue to bounce strongly from here - all just imv only.

[essentialinvestor] 24/6/2016 11:53

It was 10 pence lower than this at one stage last week,
might possibly have a bigger move in the afternoon.

[essentialinvestor] 24/6/2016 09:25

lol well it needed to be a remain result.

[tel5] 24/6/2016 09:23

tomorrow turned very nasty!
