Tilton,

They cost me more than that - 66.88 - but I don't have direct access to the market. Trading through an online broker, iDealing.com, you don't get great prices. I could apply for direct access - don't know if I would get it.

regards,
GF.

Glynne,

There were a few ZPGU sold at 64p the other day; I wouldn't have minded them at that price.

Like you, I have a few ZPGU for a relatively safe 7.6% yield. I'm looking to buy a few more, but I'm content to see the days and weeks drift by, without a rise in the price, which helps the GRY.

The portfolio only needs to grow by 100k from here to have the Z's covered, and given the level of cover in the portfolio, it will take a fairly substantial fall in markets to put that in danger.

Have bought more ZPGU today because it is a cheap way to buy ZPG, effectively less than 4p a share.

Also I see it as a safe haven for my ISA gains in case of a downturn in the market, and I stay invested tax free.

If it grows fairly securely at 6%, that is OK. Splitsonline has a 7.64% return at 5% growth, based on buying at mid price I think. Not great, but locks in some gains.

regards,
GF.

soysoy,

You were spot on with your predictions for 2005, so here's hoping that your 2006 view is right.

A big couple of months for ZPG, with four of it's portfolio reaching wind-up/reconstruction. If they take the cash option, they will be receiving around £3.3m if the market stays in this region.

The big test for the manager comes now. Do they pay down borrowings, or do they seek returns over and above the cost of the debt.

Gross redemption yields are now generally around 6%, but these aren't sufficient to give Growth shareholders much of a return, and with uncovered issues becoming a rarity, the opportunity of achieving extra growth with a rise in the market is becoming limited.

5600 this year then hopefully which is mostly due to oil stock hitting high`s,
5800 by next march
Then just bit of slow down but still hit 6000 for end of next year
my tea`leaf`s say so



I THINK FT100 COULD NOW HIT 6200 BY END OF THE YEAR BECAUSE OF ALL THE M&A

soysoy,

I first bought REOZ at 38p in OCT 2002. REO has been my favourite split, as can be seen by regular readers of the JDT thread. I have a fairly large position in REOA now, as the redemption yield on REOZ has fallen significantly.

Also the holding in Premier Equity Zero's has performed well. The latest factsheet shows that they have taken a stake in REOZ. I have mixed feelings on this as I suggested to the manager the best part of a year ago that he should buy it, and it has gone up 30%+ in that time.

The portfolio was up £60K after taking into account the increase in the loan facility. I would guess that most of this rise was down to EXSZ.

I must admit to having sold my EXSZ this morning at 147.38p as the discount has now narrowed to a level that doesn't justify holding the shares. Of course, if the market goes up, EXSZ should continue in their run, but the safety net of the 10%+ discount has now all but disappeared and takes with it it's immediate attraction.

I'm staying in ZPG for the long haul, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a run in their Zero's as the GRY now looks very attractive when compared to gilt yields.

This one was a bit of a surprise, one day after the last one. Very good rise. Must be that increase in EXCZ?

Value of your house risen by 450 per cent in one week? Here's how

by Flash Gorman

It's pretty well impossible these days to throw a breeze block during a metropolitan dinner party without hitting someone who claims that the value of their house value has doubled in the past six months. Despite the valiant and selfless efforts of estate agents to keep prices down, the value of UK property continues to rocket ever skyward.

Indeed, whereas a one-room terraced house in Barnsley with outside toilet and tin bath in front of the fire cost just £0.11 in 1993, it will now set you back over £43.70. And by the time you finish reading this piece, it will have risen to a cool £97.64.

In an attempt to get to the bottom of this curious phenomenon we assembled the world's leading experts on house retail price indexes, the UK housing market as well as three nationally-regarded PVCu conservatory salesmen, and put them in a three-bedroom dwelling in Knightsbridge for a 24-hour period. The house was valued by a qualified estate agent* at the start of the trial and every four hours thereafter. Between valuations, our team conducted a series of experiments to see if they could artificially alter the property's value.

Initial valuation: £580,000

Test one
As a control test our team just lounged around smoking cigarettes and doing complicated equations for four hours.

Valuation one: £620,000
The estate agent explained the increase was due to the area "hotting up", although subsequent experiments failed to reveal any increase in the ambient temperature.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Test two:
A burnt-out car was placed into the extremely small front walled garden. Lack of access meant a crane was required to complete the task.

Valuation two: £700,000
The estate agent amended the house details to include the phrase: "Ample off-road parking."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Test three:
A crack den was opened next door to the house and three passers-by were taken out by sniper fire from an upstairs window. Prostitutes began to bang up smack on the front steps and service tricks in the stair well.

Valuation three: £900,000
The estate agent amended the house details to include the phrase: "Located in a culturally-diverse area and with excellent access to local amenities."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Test four:
All of the internal supporting walls were knocked out causing the house to partially collapse.

Valuation four: £910,000
The estate agent amended the house details to include the phrase: "Character property, ripe for modernisation."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Test five:
The rubble-strewn remains of the property were filled with Kosovar Albanians and drums of chemical waste.

Valuation five: £1,010,000
The estate agent amended the house details to include the phrase: "Unique opportunity to acquire ongoing rental business."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Test six:
The arrival of an itinerant Serbian militia resulted in the destruction of the Albanians, the remains of the property and all other houses in a three-block radius.

Valuation six: £2,000,000
The estate agent amended the house details to read: "Stunning green-field site benefiting from uninterrupted views of Central London and the potential to build a detached character property with off-street parking in an area of celebrated cultural diversity."

Conclusion:

It seems it is impossible to stop house prices rising as relentlessly as a Morecambe Bay rip tide. We didn't have the time or facilities to engineer an economic downturn in order to view the effect this would have on the housing market, but we did run a sophisticated computer doomsday simulation.

This predicted that society would collapse if prices in the south east of England dipped more than ten per cent, and a cataclysmic fall of twenty per cent would cause immediate nuclear winter followed rapidly by the heat death of the entire universe.

* Thanks to a recent government review of estate agents, they must now have at least two "For Sale" signs and a newish suit to qualify for the title. It is hoped that these rigorous requirements will serve to further enhance the already high regard in which estate agents are held.

TB, nothing personal, just having a bit of a laugh at your expense! There's nothing in the charts to suggest that there will be an overall fall in the markets - keeping a wary eye on them anyway.

Mms playing with the offer today, still better spread.

Good luck all
