Sold out Wow, for the first time in 30 years I don't hold any TayWood/TayWimp shares. Feels kind of strange.

Help to buy rumour Anyone know where this rumour that the help to buy scheme is under review came from originally. It's certainly had a big effect this morning.

Motley Fool Comment Very PositiveGLTA MJS[link] resultsReporting half-year results on Tuesday was housebuilder Taylor Wimpey (LSE: TW). Its performance in the first half of the year was strong, with the company experiencing no reduction in demand following the general election. This is somewhat surprising, since the outlook for the UK economy is arguably more uncertain now than it has been for a number of years.Despite this, the company reported that confidence levels and market dynamics are as robust as ever. Its completions increased by 9.3% versus the same period of last year, while there was a 6.3% increase in the average selling price. With mortgage rates likely to remain low over the coming years and demand for housing being well in excess of supply, it would be unsurprising for Taylor Wimpey to record growth in completions and selling prices in future years.With the company announcing a special dividend of 10.4p per share which will be paid in June 2018, its income prospects remain bright. It currently yields around 6.8%, which is one of the highest yields in the FTSE 100 at the present time. However, it has a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of just 10.3 and this signifies that it could offer considerable capital growth over the medium term.

Re: Results and trading update Still not my favourite of the bulk builders. But a good set of figs, exceptional notwithstanding on lease-ground rent make good. 15 years land in the bank & prospective dy ca 8% & net cash ca +£650m, this looks priced for Armageddon.But I know I know ...................... the UK house market is about to implode etc etc .........

doubling ground rents Either the buyers bought in full knowledge of the ludicrous terms of their leases, in which case why compensate them? Or their conveyancers failed to notice in which case it is they who should be made to compensate.Next time TW wants to try a trick like this how about starting with a penny ground rent and double it every year for 50 years. this time it will have risen to £5,629,499,534,213.12. I bet mostveyancers wouldn't notice that either.

Re: Results and trading update Well this is all very positive and I do like to dividend announcements. Market seems happy as well. Could turn into a long term hold at this rate.

Re: SOLD OUT I sold out too last week having held for 6 years or so. I think the mis-selling thing could get nasty. Bought £5k of Shell 'B' and done OK so far last/this week. I'm not overly bothered about EV's just yet. I reckon oil is here to stay for sometime yet.

SOLD OUT Hey TW holdersAfter a 7 year dalliance with TW, I woke up this morning and decided the day was today that I sold my entire holding of 12,000 shares. Perhaps it was the crash of Carillion the other week or simply the fact that I should bank some profits for once but I'm out. Hell, we've had a good run from 40p or whatever we were at back in 2010.Good luck to all that still hold, there may well with more value to be had. I'm heading over to Greene King, perhaps more defensive, a slightly lower dividend but maybe a 20% upside in share price over the longer term. We shall see. GLA
