Looking good for 2 quid for ex divi date imo.

[craftyale] 24/4/2019 15:38

£2+ before ex div please and thank you.

Agree, most punters would be looking to get a 4-5% discount on a £2+ property in Central London today. He has also previously bought two TW flats in Spain, so he is recirculating his wages into TW profits.

Is that all ? Why shouldn't he take advantage, after all he is not only the boss but has also made a lot of investors very wealthy, £100,000 is petty cash compared to persimmon, The mail must be getting really hard up for stories these days.

"The disclosure that Taylor Wimpey chief executive Peter Redfern is planning to take advantage of a complex discount worth at least £100,000 on a £2.5 million luxury apartment in central London is another giant embarrassment, Brummer says"

I'll be waiting this afternoon for the share price to hit my purchase figure of 187p, I'll take anything under 188 but it's always satisfying to get ones predictions right.

Meanwhile the garden beckons then down to the Potting Shed for lunch :))

If any govt, more likely Labour, finally gets properly affordable Council Houses built, in sufficient numbers to make a difference, then I believe this would hsve a big impact on owner occupier house prices. But, its a big IF!!

Thanks gbh2.
M4rtinu, I don't disagree with you about house prices, out of reach for many youngsters I think. If interest rates go up it will curb the high prices for sure. I am just not sure that hitting the btl and property developers at the same time is the right thing to do as it will hurt trades and suppliers of all things for the house.

Ah, we've all had ones that got away, gbh2. I made a small fortune in my first few years trading mainly on AIM during the dotcom boom. Lost almost all of it a little slower. Learned my lessons and took a few years break. Came back and now almost exclusively in FTSE 100 and 250 and doing better than ever (so far). For my money, slow but sure wins all the time. I no longer chase 'big winners' and take small - but frequent - profits. My main weakness is that I let my losers run too long; but we can't all be perfect.

One needs to be lucky with the stock market or have loads of cash to throw at good divi payers because all the studying in the World will only produce a stock that earns a few hundred / thousand.

I thought I'd hit the jackpot with my first punt when it went from 50p to 1400p in two years, ok it did give me a good start but had I had thousands to invest in that punt I'd now be sitting on millions.

And in a beach hut during winters here in the UK :))

That's right - 15% interest - would wipe out most borrowers today. I bought my first London house for £29K in the 1970's, sold it for £90K in the 1980s. Paid £100K for my next house and sold that for £420K in the 00s. Bought a house in a different country for £100K. Not a bad profit, but I've done a lot better in the stock market over a significantly shorter period!!

[gbh2] 17/4/2019 19:34

We were all young first time buyers at some time in the past.
I remember struggling to find £1500 for my first deposit and working long hours to pay ever increasing Interest I think somewhere around 15% at one time !

[gbh2] 17/4/2019 19:30

1carus, I'm using an IG share dealing ISA, £8 a trade but soon drops to £5 if you have a few trades per month. There are other fees involved if you diversify best look at the Ts & Cs for details.

[m4rtinu] 17/4/2019 18:54

Continually increasing house prices and houses as investments not homes, do not help young first time buyers. Especially those who do not have any relatives or inheritances to help them.

[1carus] 17/4/2019 17:48

gbh2 --- what platform do you use and is it free?

Was looking at the costs of buying second homes, the new duty rates are really harsh. It would also affect people who buy and their sale fails, or divorcing people. I think they increased it too quickly also not letting the dust settle.. A buoyant housing market is good for everyone.

[gbh2] 17/4/2019 12:59

Jugears, Though retired I'm still connected with a Building company in Northamptonshire and they've not seen any slow down in the last 12 months, in fact they're increasing staffing atm.

Edit: Moreover I think any Party wanting to gain electoral approval will throw more and more cash at the sector.

[jugears] 17/4/2019 12:16

gbh2- If it's anything to go buy we are still working flat out for the house builders & already exceeded last years turnover in the first 3 months of this year so maybe now is still a good time to buy.

[gbh2] 17/4/2019 11:30

Jugears
a) I'd like to buy some more and b) it's the wrong month :))

I tried paying for advfn but stopped it when I found it wasn't really required once I found a decent trading platform.

[marksp2011] 17/4/2019 10:30

Advfn keep asking me to pay for this site. i would if the data wasn't often wrong

Wrong XD dates, wrong pay dates, wrong dividend amounts

I have no idea why the monitor can't show the correct data Current bid-closing bid = move - not hard

[jugears] 17/4/2019 09:29

gbh2, Why ?

[gbh2] 17/4/2019 08:27

This could do with a 5% pull back before continuing on up to 200p.

[gbh2] 16/4/2019 10:16

Or you could use Dividend Max to get a full years Forecast :)

[jugears] 16/4/2019 09:28

Or you could just look on Tw web site.

[gbh2] 16/4/2019 08:37

When the Results are posted, open them in a web page and use ctr+F to bring up a search option, type in dividend and use the result to search for every mention of the word - No need to rely on anyone else for detail :))

[billy5] 16/4/2019 08:28

unknighted

Not too lazy, went through the reports and could not find that info.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for details.
