On what I originally invested, but even at todays purchase price of 535p a share, the total 2015 dividend was 58p a share which is in excess of 10%

????

Is that a share or across your whole portfolio? My 'high yield' portfolio is giving me just over 5.5%, current prices.

What shares are paying 12% or do you mean 12% on what you originally invested ?

This is why I try to always focus on longer term, shares are now back above break even and a dividend yield of 12% this year has just been confirmed for me

Glencore looking good. The tranche I bought bought in November in profit.

I reckon for oil/gas and other stuff out of the ground is a good time to "get in".

My biggest headache is PLUS500 at the moment, took a dive earlier in the year due to regulator problems, topped up then and was subject to a failed take over bid, the bid collapsed and the price recovered in the last week to where I broke even, down 12% today

Should have taken the break even and walked away!

Nah mate, oil was low in the 1990's due to tech innovation and over capacity.

There is overcapacity now - oil gone from $15 to $120, so lots of investment was thrown into problem, with better analysis fracking is very efficient now, they can drill well in 4-6 weeks now - unlike years of investment into offshore rigs, so now oil is unlikely to be above 45-50 bucks because shale would add a lot of capacity very quickly, traders know it so that on it's own got potential to keep price low.

I say it should go below 20 bucks.
