500p to 270p in just over a year. Co still growing and yield approaching 7%. Much more inclined to buy than sell at these prices given so much bad news is in the price. Hopefully time will show the underlying business is largely unaffected by Brexit.

That's more like it... A bit of blue

[essentialinvestor] 27/6/2016 17:11

Thats all we need a tip, 3 buys today in the end.

Got very lucky selling last week as did not see this price or a Leave
result, thought it would be close but expected remain to win.

The share price may go to £2 or £3, but longer term think around these
levels may look cheap, at least hoping that is the case.

May be best to expect some earnings downgrades given market conditions,
so where that leaves the dividend remains to be seen.

Where was it tipped ??

[oakville] 27/6/2016 17:03

Actually tipped as one of the FTSE shares to buy.

If the Dow behaves tonight we could well see a bit of blue tomorrow, someone was picking these up this afternoon.

[chesty1] 27/6/2016 15:34

Volume since 1pm is huge....I think we have a large buyer at last.

[chesty1] 27/6/2016 15:22

Volume is high again.....would be nice to see some directors dipping in to show us some confidence.

If looking for a quick buck then it's a gamble. For the long term and the dividend alone it's a bargain.

[essentialinvestor] 27/6/2016 13:45

Had a few more at 2.59, but tbh no idea where this is going with current
huge volatility.

[chesty1] 27/6/2016 13:42

Markets in search of oversold stock imho at £2.60p this is one of them...

[essentialinvestor] 27/6/2016 11:28

Bought a very small amount at 2.66, only 500 shares, not feeling brave.

[chesty1] 27/6/2016 09:56

I am locked n loaded no more funds to add.Could this be the bottom.

[uppompeii] 27/6/2016 09:50

Just bought some. Sod the price, that's a nice dividend.

[chinese investor] 27/6/2016 09:03

"Final dividend of 12.34p making a total of 18.36p, up 7.8% for the year"

18.26p divided by 270p -> 6.8% !

[essentialinvestor] 26/6/2016 13:13

Tempted to buy back in Friday but held off.

I do not see any directors buying at these levels.

The longer term valuation is tied to dividend sustainability, the next
update may shed some more light on that area.

[spcecks] 26/6/2016 10:56

Also a long term SL. Investor and agree 2hoggy we will come through this.

[2hoggy] 25/6/2016 22:48

Gateside the English rescued you from bankruptcy,thats why you chose the union,and you then bankrupted us with a Scottish labour government under blair and brown.. thankyou very much.stop whining man.

As a long time sl investor we will come through this,its for the good of the british isles which we are all part of.

[getscenic] 25/6/2016 18:23

hey Oakville do you have the link? or list the other 11?

[oakville] 25/6/2016 17:33

Here in Ontario our Toronto Star has a list of the worst 12 ftse 100 companies to be in since brexit. Sl. Is number 8. Predicted share price in 3 months....£1.80

[gateside] 25/6/2016 16:31

Scotland has nothing to be thankful to England for at all.

[adon] 25/6/2016 16:23

I would expect a statement from SL about the relocation of jobs etc to England UK, since they have previously stated most of their clients are from England,if Scotland persist with Independence. EU is dead, they are a group of old grandads/pigs in their trough, suckling their poor people dry. Scotland needs to be thankful that their English colleagues have at last seen the light and will hopefully not be swayed by SNP posturing.

[chesty1] 25/6/2016 15:55

If Scotland pull away from England what does that mean for SL. as they are based in Edinburgh ???

[chesty1] 24/6/2016 18:02

How quickly can the BOE reduce interest rates ??? Do they have to give notice or can they just do it ????

[mazarin] 24/6/2016 17:39

I'm assuming SL. has taken a 'double hit' today on the back of Brexit result, combined with SNP's renewed call for Independence. Just another dreadful day to remember and I go back over 30yrs.
