Yeah, sticking for now with what I've got. I'll make another purchase after the referendum, if we get a big lurch lower...

[essentialinvestor] 15/6/2016 09:57

Yup just go the same price, will now wait to see if under 3.90
becomes available.

Not sure this market bounce will last that long but who knows.

[wirralowl] 15/6/2016 09:53

Added a few this morning. With the market up strongly, was pleased to see MRCH lagging, and able to pick up at 391.62.

[essentialinvestor] 14/6/2016 16:45

My lowest was 3.9006, so call it 3.90.

[veryniceperson] 14/6/2016 16:39

Can now buy at 391 brought at 401.5 Friday, never mind take it on the chin vnp

[essentialinvestor] 14/6/2016 09:55

You also have gearing with MRCH, so the NAV updates may be ugly imv,
if these market levels hold.

Could go a lot lower if the vote is to leave next Thursday.

[essentialinvestor] 14/6/2016 09:23

Again surprised we are not lower here, a few at 394.4.

[veryniceperson] 13/6/2016 22:20

Nice one ess

[essentialinvestor] 13/6/2016 17:21

Had a small amount at 398 and 97.

[veryniceperson] 13/6/2016 17:15

Brought a few more on Friday at 401.5 not to bad happy

[essentialinvestor] 13/6/2016 13:45

Surprised the offer is still around £4.

[wirralowl] 10/6/2016 12:32

I know I'm greedy! ;-)

Will probably top up twice, once just before the vote if we get more wobbles (low 390's would be nice!), and then again after the vote, though the timing here will be dependent on the outcome...

[essentialinvestor] 10/6/2016 12:22

That would be lovely ) - it will take a lot to get this sub 3.90 again,
so mid to low 390's looks a decent price, unless we tank.

[wirralowl] 10/6/2016 12:16

A core holding for me too, but hoping to add a little lower. Think more ftse falls may be on the cards as we head towards the vote, and would be delighted to pick more up around the February lows again..

[essentialinvestor] 10/6/2016 12:04

Added under £4, had sold a few at 4.12 this week, got a little lucky admittedly,
but this is a core holding for me.

[rcturner2] 07/6/2016 07:57

As I have said before, this trust offers a simple way of getting income without a huge risk. The main holdings of the trust are not expensive shares and the discount gives further protection.

[essentialinvestor] 06/6/2016 14:52

Yes had just looked, when the UKX is up so sharply it does well.

[veryniceperson] 06/6/2016 14:50

Quite a high volume today.

[essentialinvestor] 27/5/2016 13:20

Wonder will MRCH add to MKS here, with the special and final,
helps the MRCH divi a little - that is putting an optimistic spin on the MKS share price

[essentialinvestor] 25/5/2016 11:11

I'm 34% invested as of his morning, significantly below my usual %,
however will only buy and hold where risk/reward looks reasonable.

[veryniceperson] 25/5/2016 11:05

Sorry RCT missed read your post. Apologies.

[cwa1] 25/5/2016 10:47

Yes, very much an IF, I feel there are plenty more twists and turns to play out in the near future. In fact, FWIW, I've been gently offloading a few holdings recently that have done well in the hope, but not expectation, of buying them back again somewhat more cheaply. Got as much cash on the books as I've had for a long time now. If I don't get them back no biggie!

[essentialinvestor] 25/5/2016 09:44

Very drole )


CW, I notice you put your IF in capitals, probably wise.
