Special divi paid next week.Rising up so reinvesters don't get to many shares on the cheap

Hope they are not still stuck? :)

I'm sure they'll be 'devastated', the poor dears

Judging by the image the car had loads of room on the other side, they're after a bit of compensation imo.

Note today, US firm buying up Telford Homes on the cheap; UK PLC up for sale at any price!

New build. What do you expect.Whilst cars, and people for that matter, have been getting bigger over the decades, houses have not. Instead getting smaller.And what numpty doesn't check these things out before they purchase.Lol.

I think that sad couple will find that any good 1930s house will have a drive and a garage that will be too small for their BMW. I am sure that will be worse than the pure hell they discovered.

First world problems

[marksp2011] 02/7/2019 19:34

A couple who bought their 'dream' new-build home only to discover they could not park and get out of their BMW on the very narrow drive say they have endured 'six months of pure hell'.

WOW and there was me thinking that hell was a place of endless torment when in fact it was buying a car that was too big for the driveway.

Turvart, Firstly you will probably see a mass rush to acquire properties before the deadline so good news for tw. After this people will still buy even if it is discontinued as most buyers that use help to buy don't need it any way.

[turvart] 29/6/2019 14:18

The fundamentals of this stock are just amazing but one thing is niggling at the back of my mind, I actually want to accumulate this stock for the long term but what happens after 2023 when help to buy comes to an end? What happens? Will the share price tank or will Taylor Wimpey have something up their sleeve and introduce some kind of company plan? to compensate this?

Always struggles to keep any gains made am, held 10yrs and happy to hold another 10 !!

Looks like Boris' suggested stamp duty slash is doing the trick here, just when things were looking bleak.

Sod the EU, they've got a 100 billion trade surplus with us and we are asked to grovel. My thoughts are hardening, maybe just leave and go for the fiscal stimulus afterall. Eu and Ireland just spoilt brats.

lol, yep making money is enjoyable, I stopped the regular kinda work 20 years ago when I discovered I could make money out of money.

I agree wholehearted that Time is a prime factor, I used to lose much more when I didn't have the time to sit and watch what was happening, much easier these days with mobile data streams, I can sit out in the sun until it goes down.

Tonight it's a stroll down to a Lake for some sunset photos.

gbh2 I have past my retirement pot target, but just enjoy making money after all you can never have to much, just wish I had more time these days to invest more.

[gbh2] 27/6/2019 13:29

No fun in that Jugears, I realise from what you've posted in the past that you're still building a retirement pot and our needs are completely different, there's no way we'll ever convince each other that we are right or wrong.

For instance 17th this month I invested 20K (at various prices ave 92p/share) in a company that I sold off yesterday at a fraction under 150p/share, a few minutes ago I sank the lot into IGG which will build towards it's very healthy divi later in the year.

Now I'm out on the veranda listening to the river running below whilst the sun warms my old bones, life is good and there has to be fun....Wish you luck with your efforts.

Gbh2 Patience is what its all about, One Day Tw. will be heading for £3 It might be next year or in the next 10 years & I am sure there will be plenty of ups & downs along the way , But as I see little chance of Tw going bust I am happy to collect the dividends as shares & will then review when I eventually manage to retire ! Price doesn't worry me at the moment as I am still stake building so the lower they are the more shares I get for dividends, This may not be the most exciting share on the stock market but it has predictability & will come good in the end, If I had the time I could probably trade this share & make a lot more money but I don't have the time & am not that clever. Having kept a detailed record of all the shares I have bought since 1981 I have made more money with my long term investments than short term, In fact I would never again buy shares short term, Having sold, Next for circa £7.00 in the early days of investing & then selling Travis Perkins & Weir Group way short of there maximum price having bought cheap after the financial crisis.Its worth remembering that nearly all good quality share will recover & whilst the markets are in a Brexit rut at the moment I believe a strong recovery is just around the corner.

I reckon this might see 140 before the summer is out. A difficult few months ahead during the summer property lull and the Brexit deadline looming. Saved at the moment by the general bullishness on the FTSE, and may get through unscathed if the current optimism continues.

[gbh2] 27/6/2019 09:11

Not a case of whether it'll go back up or when it's the fact my cash not only isn't earning it's actually losing.

I guess I should be grateful that I sold half my holding, as I have done every year the day prior to ex divi date because this drop is a drain on my patience :(

[m4rtinu] 25/6/2019 08:37

Perhaps someone with the mindset of a 20 year old Socialist might appeal to younger, disillusioned voters. But I do agree Corbyn has a lot of history that media can smear him with.

[markdallara] 24/6/2019 19:39

I have no quarrel with the fundamentals argument however last summer TW. fell back about 25p after the special and a further 35p when Trump went off on his China cannon. I am not seeing anything in the UK or world economy that will make this year any different and possibly worse so I forsook the div in favour of getting back in lower later. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. In the meantime LTHs can just chill cos go back up over time it almost certainly will.

John McDonnell is the man who is more than likely to end up leading the Labour Party with the prospect of becoming PM one day.Corbyn comes across like a 20 year old member of the Socialist Society at a London College.He eagerly takes the contrarian line on the IRA,PLO,proudly flaunts his anti American and anti capitalist views like a young man who’s just read Das Capital.Oh sometimes he might make very good observations but he’ll never win the middle ground like Blair or Brown.McDonnell though is a more credible,reasoned and mature operator.He’s canny.

The UK has long depended on foreign investment to balance the books.Brexit is a distraction that is compromising both domestic and foreign investment.Its bizarre that Portugal,yes Portugal, now has bond yields of 0.5% when during the crisis they were 18%.Now imagine how well the UK would be faring if not for the Brexit furore!Brexit is a long term project and I don’t think the dust will settle for a number of years.Confidence is unlikely to springboard back even if we finally resolve the political impasse.A brief rally perhaps for domestics more than balanced by weakening overseas earners as sterling enjoys a rally. Foreign investment is more than likely to adopt a wait and see attitude.Overseas money has had a good long time now to set their sights on other areas of global opportunity.Thereagain,as Mick Jagger mused some years back,Brexit could prove to be a really smart move 20 years down the line.How many of us will be around to see the promised land.

Are you still smoking weed Turvart ?
