Interesting post JUGEARS, but I do have to ask, what is the point of investing at all if someone is going to live a meagre life and not live to enjoy their successes?I always take out a portion of profits along the way and make sure I enjoy what I have made. Sell a few shares, take profits and enjoy life. Dividends are for regular income, capital gains are for the nice things in life.

To risky for me chasing dividends, always that chance of loosing out when I sell the shares after.Not into high risk shares either but admire people that invest that way, I Suppose its what works for you .Long term has worked well for me because I only invest money that I do not need, Perhaps if my company hadn't been so successful & hadn't always paid its way then things might have been different.I do actually enjoy working for a living & get more satisfaction than I do investing, It still gives me a buzz winning a large contract(after what can sometimes be months of hard work & negotiating) & seeing the end results fitted on sites & going back to places years later seeing our products still there. Investing to me is easier because if you invest in rock solid companies or good bombed out companies you know you will almost certainly get a good return on your investment & the longer you wait the more you are likely to get, I'm getting older now but in the past I have waited up to 20 years to see a good return on my investments. my mentor who was a very successful investor once said to me that there is no time limit for investments to make a return & that the best investments are the ones you keep the longest,There will be times when you wish you had sold out, but just remember shares do not go up in a straight line the ones that do are the ones to avoid as these carry the greatest deal of risk. He lived a very meager life and sadly died without enjoying any of his success but his words of wisdom have stuck with me both in investing & running my company.

Thanks spcecks, I've made a few quid and lost a few during the last 20 years, being retired helps keep me interested, having not to rely on whether I make or lose cash is also an added advantage.

Wish you and others well in whatever you or they decide upon.

[spcecks] 06/8/2019 16:56

gbh2 Hope that strategy works for you and you make more money moving from one dividend stock to another......I just buy and hold in good quality companies for the dividend and only sell if fundamentals change.....as I need dividend money for income.

Jugears - I'm only interested in the next dividend, which is worth over 5% at current IG prices whereas the next one for TW is worth half even at the current low share price

As I've said many times before, it's my retirement hobby to which I'll add, I have no allegiance to any companies shares.

[jugears] 06/8/2019 16:02

gbh2- That's only about 5% I also note there share are down about 35% from there highs,Where as Tw are only down about 20%. I have looked but cannot find any company with a low share price & a dividend to match TW. The problem at the moment is that there is no scope for any shares to rise until Brexit becomes clearer, so if you cant make money from shares rising you can only knock them down & start again, Having successfully sold the cheap tw share I bought earlier this year for 1.70 I will definitely do the same again if they fall to 1.30.Whilst falling to one thirty is not very good for my larger long term holding it does mean that I get more dividends to the pound. At the Moment there are some real bargain shares out there that are worth investing in now , & although there is no guarantee that the markets will move higher when brexit is sorted I think that there is more than a good chance that they will do & think a lot of people on here will be saying I wish I had bought when they were cheap. Don't beleive all you here about a no deal brexit there may be some looser but equally there will be more winners & no matter what they will all still need houses.

Good company have it on my watch list.

[gbh2] 06/8/2019 15:09

I'm chasing 30.24p on IGG, been building there for quite some time.

[garycook] 06/8/2019 15:07

With TW currently yielding 12.69% at 146.50p.It can only be PLUS in the FTSE 350.

[spcecks] 06/8/2019 14:52

gbh2 What other dividends are you talking about if you don't mind saying.

[gbh2] 06/8/2019 12:26

I've bought and sold a few to make bring my ave down but there's much better dividends to be had elsewhere this next couple of months.

[omg48] 06/8/2019 09:42

Think I'm going colour blind, TW in blue numbers today :-)

[jugears] 05/8/2019 18:09

Wait for £1.30

[m4rtinu] 05/8/2019 16:58

Jugears - I am looking to buy a few, just trying to get timing right as my average is way too high. Unlike yours :)

[jugears] 05/8/2019 16:45

Oh it will definitely go to 130 & then surprisingly( not) it will go.back up to 170.

[m4rtinu] 05/8/2019 16:02

Not sure how much faith you can put in these, but ...

1. Seems to imply after falling thru 147.7 next stop is 130 ish



2. And, this site suggest no shorting at all, but I don't know how MMs work and if they have to declare. Anyone able to educate me? Clearly some FTSE UK stocks being clobbered.

[baracuda2] 05/8/2019 15:23

Topped up again!

[martyn9] 05/8/2019 14:47

At this rate/speed of decline i will buy more circa £1.20. Bonkers should i see the share price at that level.

[gbh2] 05/8/2019 14:42

Costs less to trade this down imo.

[omg48] 05/8/2019 14:13

Last time TW were at this price in January Barratt's share price was 480p ish. Barratt currently 626p. Why such a massive difference?

[masurenguy] 05/8/2019 13:01

UBS issued a Buy recommendation today with a target price of 190p.

[jugears] 05/8/2019 10:26

How can it be black Monday, Gold would be better, Perfect buying day if you ask me
