Yep, I have a portfolio of 14 shares, mainly income based blue chips but a couple of punts on hopefuls which I'd like to see a value increase from, I am up about 8% in the last 6 months

They used to say it was 11% P/A, but I think the last 10 years has pretty much pissed on that idea. I did my dissertation on the statistics of gambling, and of course the stock market was included.Originally posted by Jeff Maginty View PostWhat happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

It has yes, but unless you got a fair number of ignots under your bed you can't invest in gold, you can only invest in people who invest in gold, they all gotta take their cutOriginally posted by MarillionFan View PostOriginally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyComment

I also fully invest my ISA allowance each year, I also re-invest all the dividends and I may also top up non isa investments as well.
I don't worry about ups and downs and just stick to quality stocks, ie proven companies with great track records, I don't invest in companies if they do not pay dividends.
I don't do gold - they do not produce an income!"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." CiceroComment

Aviva, Rio Tinto, Vodafone, Glaxo, Diageo, all long term solid investments paying around 5% dividends each year, add in the value gains too and you can't lose in the long term*
I have a few speculative punts, bought Lloyds at 33p a share, now sitting ~53p a share, no dividends yet but will start to eventually pay when its paid off HMG
