Share Investment, Discussion & Tips

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".

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

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

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%

Isn't it knives that fall & dead cats that bounce?

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

I get 2.8% at current prices from last year dividend payouts.

10% seems rather high, that normally means distressed stocks.

Last year they halted dividend's due to a potential take over that failed, they are paying 21 cents a share on the 29th of this month, and declared the final and special dividend of 63 cents a share payable in May

Just one share, over my entire portfolio my 2015 yield was 6.35% based on capital invested.

Bingo. Nothing has changed. Back at 6000 on the FTSE. It will be heading south again before long...
