Thanks guys. I will take that on board before deciding. Invlined towards holding out for the £2.50.

Divi is in my account...Youinvest

It's good practise to take profit along the way especially at times when there's likely to be a drawback of the SP, there's plenty of opportunities out there just a case of spreading the risk imo.

I have found it best just to buy and hold!

Trading is easy in hindsight!

[n111ndy] 20/5/2015 12:47

Well I'm banking on it dropping less than the div amount when it goes exd. Hence keeping as outlook certainly for next 12mths looks rosy. Any thoughts, or better strategy?

Why would anyone consider selling this? The next few weeks will prove a great topping up opportunity whilst still collecting the special divi. Just look how PSN performed after paying their 95p divi a month ago, well back above the original price when she went ex div. I will hold through the divi and have another £35K to invest next week once I see how far she falls.
I am looking at this reaching 250p before the year end and that is a very conservative view!

Looking at the last two months TW seems to be ahead of the remainder of the field imo.

Edit: Over the year the TW share price has increased 85% whilst the others have around 64%

Most building stocks up a bit now..............

Sold just over 1/4 of mine at 192p. I hope they have further to go but I felt I had to take some profit at these levels. Housebuilders still make up 20% of my portfolio, with a weighting towards Crest Nicholson on the basis I still think it has some catching up to do even after the recent run.

[gbh2] 20/5/2015 09:48

The market is top heavy, builders have had a good run and a pull back is inevitable imo, I'm putting cash aside for something like 5%.

[arja] 20/5/2015 09:45

profit taking today ahead ofgoing ex-div tomorrow. Slightly surprising but most buildinhg stocks falling .

[lupins2] 20/5/2015 09:08

Anyone got their divi in the bank yet today.

[shaf200] 19/5/2015 12:15

I'm holding this dog from 25p... not sure if I should sell some and lock in profit... I'm not being silly but could this go to £3 in 12 months time?

[battue2] 19/5/2015 11:27

JOEMILLION, 10p fall is not big from here , circa 5% and that's the divi so it will open that amount down the next morning, then I expect to see selling from funds and institutional investors. Personally I wouldn't worry at 20p down from here considering the NAV its still a very good price. Your £2.50 is achievable
although I think it will be around this time next year and the next big divi.
But then WTFDIK I never dreamt we would see these levels this soon.
I wonder what TAFEE thinks of it all. GL

[oneillshaun] 19/5/2015 09:56

loving this share i picked up at 163p have it in my SIPP more than happy to hold this long ted, the special divi is going to my average price right down.

Bring on €2.50 plus.

[joemillion] 19/5/2015 09:53

Thanks gbh. My working hypothesis is the upwards trend will continue and we won't see a big fall (10p or more) come ex div as buyers will remain in control. I could be wrong and in reality it is anyone's guess. Regardless of this I am confident we will see £2.50 plus by the year end which is more important (to me) and the bigger picture here for longer term holders I imagine.

[gbh2] 19/5/2015 09:15

It's a concern but imo it would be more so if it wasn't for the fact that it is the whole sector that's on the rise :)

[homeboy35] 19/5/2015 09:03

Yes, I would say it's a little top heavy atm, hence the 'bubble' remark!

[gbh2] 19/5/2015 08:58

Interesting move what with the ftse and the company being well up, good luck.

[joemillion] 19/5/2015 08:36

Topped up this morning. Got the farm and shirt on my back on this one now! Good luck to all..

[homeboy35] 19/5/2015 08:30

Unbelievabubble!

[gbh2] 19/5/2015 08:25

The whole sector once again on the rise, probably due to yesterday's report on house sales improvements following the election.

[nar1] 18/5/2015 22:33

Storming ahead
