LLOYDS is going to FLY Eadwig: US results and forward guidance with coronavirus in the mix appears to be the cause of it. This was always on the way this results season, as I posted here and elsewhere. So I know you’re ready with cash to snap up bargains. Hi @Eadwig, Well if it is the long awaited correction it’s getting started slowly, US indices bounced back and even the NASDAQ ended up only 0.6% down. But the economic effects of the virus will likely be long lasting. That said staying heavily in cash is not my style… ATB Pref

LLOYDS is going to FLY trader_jack: May I ask a stupid question? Using your rable and STS as the example am I correct in assuming that the abbual cost of holding STS (their charges?) amount to 0.02percent pa and with a dividend payable of 3.02 percent pa per share then I would actually be earning 3 percent pa per share against 0.7 with ATST? Apologies that line in my table was wrong. For STS, the yield is now 2.93% and the cost is 0.92% ie. year to March 2019 they paid 6.25p per share… and yes your broker will separately collect the 0.92% costs from you. I’ll recheck all the entries in that tab later.

LLOYDS is going to FLY trader_jack: I am starting to think that a takeaway from her local Chinese in Essex might just be better value for my money! You could work on that chicken and rice… chicken and cashew nuts and rice, chicken and pineapple and rice … both of which I do in a mean stir fry. Try and expand it from there. Sounds like your French restaurant jaunt wont go much appreciated, I’m afraid. But hey, I live in Poland a lot of the time where they still think McDonalds is pretty sophisticted. You should count your blessings.

LLOYDS is going to FLY frog_in_a_tree: Good to hear you are undertaking an expedition to the Somme with your grandson. Hopefully he will develop the same love of France that you have. Well, as I have said before he wants to learn and seems genuinely interested. He doesn’t yet know and I won’t be telling him before we arrive in Albert but I am looking forward to escagots de bourgogne for dinner most evenings. The hotel menu suggests that they will be served!!! Enjoy your evening Best regards TJ

LLOYDS is going to FLY Eadwig: Then she puts so much fresh garlic in some of her cooking that the strength of smell actually gives me a headache. Hi again Eadwig, Look on the bright side the garlic wards off Dracula and I guess werewolves as well… I have been unable to get my granddaughter to try much, yes I have cooked for her. All my grandchildren prefer my mac cheese to that of their parents. I am still trying (unsuccessfully) to get my grandchildren to eat what I call a traditional mac cheese with tomatoes and cheese grated on top before it is put under thre grill to brown off. No luck but my youngest grandson now won’t touch mac cheese unless he gets plenty of fresh basil to go with it. I took my granddaughter to what sounded like quite a nice French restaurant off Kensington High Street a couple of years ago, we had been to watch Swan Lake at the Albert Hall. We never got to actually try the food, she decided she didn’t like anything on the menu. I tried so hard to explain “goujons des poissons” were simply a posh way of saying fish fingers but she wouldn’t have it. I could smell the warm real French baguettes and I was starting to dribble. We finished up at a Chinese retaurant in Gerard Street so she could have her chicken & rice… I have offered to take her to my favourite hotel/restaurant in France, near Arras if she gets good GCSE results but told her that she would have to forget her likes and dislikes and just go for it when the price of a meal is over £100 per head before any drinks are added. I told her that we would have the “Menu de Surprise” as the Maitre d referred to it on my very first visit. “What would that be?” I asked in my very shaky French. " Monsieur, if I told you that it would no longer be a surprise." I am starting to think that a takeaway from her local Chinese in Essex might just be better value for my money! Best regards TJ

LLOYDS is going to FLY J_Westlock: Further, for TJ… I wasn’t sure if he meant earlier that he ONLY puts money into ATST… I assume he didn’t mean that… but if he did… there are other better yielding and certainly more performant funds in this sector on a total return basis and it would well be worth considering that… unless other factors are in play like particularly liking what ATST invests in. Hi again JW Thanks for that, very interesting. I was a customer of Alliance Trust for many many years and much of my own savings went into ATST. So when I started savings for my grandchildren I put all the money I saved for them into ATST. When Elliot Brothers came to an agreement with Alliance Trust to buy the whole of their stake it rather spooked me and I cleared my grandchildren out of ATST and into other stocks such as HSBA, LLOY, NG and VIN. Most of the savings are now back into ATST but some of my grandchildren still have HSBA, LLOY & VIN. I sold out of NG a couple of weeks ago at 1015p and put the funds back into ATST at 864p, I should have waited a bit longer I think, but hey, they dipped as low as about 750p in 2018 but with dividends reinvested the price I sold them at gave them a reasonable capital gain. Of course I realise that there are other investment trusts out there that I could put them into instead. I may well have a look around at some stage but ATST has been a reasonable run of the mill stock for them. Of the ones you listed Monks and 3i priced at over £10 per share - I think of as “expensive” SMT possibly quite high now around the 650p mark, Mid Wynd I have never followed but will run my rule over that in the coming days, the same with STS but it looks a reasonable divi payer at first glance trading around NAV whereas ATST is at a near 5 percent discount. I do look at quite a few IT’s over the course of the year and will probably put my 20/21 ISA allowance straight into BNKR which I have followed for some time. I owned some shares in it a couple of years ago but sold them to buy a new car just over a year ago. In hindsight there were other IT’s I hold that I could have sold instead which haven’t put on the almost 25 percent in the last year that BNKR have. When I first put money into it’s many years ago I looked at Personal Assets Trust but decided that the actual cost per share would get me fewer shares than ATST would buy. If I recall anywhere near correctly ATST back then were about £14 per share and I want to say that PNL were priced not much different to todays price although I never really followed them ATST underwent a 10 for 1 split in 2006 having reached about about £34.50 per share! May I ask a stupid question? Using your rable and STS as the example am I correct in assuming that the abbual cost of holding STS (their charges?) amount to 0.02percent pa and with a dividend payable of 3.02 percent pa per share then I would actually be earning 3 percent pa per share against 0.7 with ATST? Best regards and good night TJ

Dana Mach 2, but stronger I had missed this interview with Energy Voice from November 2019, thought I would post a section for other who might have missed it too. Tom sounds relaxed and confident about the future. The market is still pessimistic, eventually they will have to wake up if our profitability continues to grow. In the meantime I will keep adding if we dip under 35p, support there seems rock solid. “He built up Dana Petroleum into a successful exploration company before it was bought out by South Korea’s national oil firm in a hostile takeover in 2010. The businessman collected more than £34 million from the sale of his share, earning a reputation for being the North Sea’s “man with the Midas touch”. Since then, Mr Cross has been leading London-listed Parkmead, which he described as “Dana Mach 2, but stronger”. He has a chart in his office comparing Parkmead’s growth to that of Dana in its early years. Mr Cross said Parkmead was “tracking nicely” and was “better balanced” than Dana, which sold for £1.7 billion. Parkmead is focused on production from its “backyards” in the UK and Netherlands, whereas Dana operated out of nine countries. Mr Cross also feels Parkmead, whose full-year results show rising revenues and a return to the black, is well placed to thrive as the energy transition gathers pace. For the last three years, Parkmead has only produced gas, which is a cleaner fuel than oil. It is also adding a green feather to its cap. Parkmead recently bought £4.9m worth of Aberdeenshire farmland which had been majority-owned by Mr Cross’ wife. The land is well suited to wind, solar and biomass schemes and Mr Cross revealed Parkmead had been approached by some “very big companies” who are keen to work together on renewables projects. Parkmead does have large North Sea oil projects in its portfolio and is determined to bring them to fruition. With that in mind, Parkmead has brought in its first dedicated North Sea managing director to spearhead those developments. Tim Coxe did have a stint working for Parkmead on the early stages of its Greater Perth Area (GPA) project in the outer Moray Firth a few years ago. He has now returned to Parkmead, from Apache, and will take GPA through to project sanction, which is slated for spring or summer next year. Parkmead hopes to tie GPA back to Cnooc International’s Scott platform and believes the project could deliver 75-130m barrels of oil equivalent. Parkmead is also a partner in Dana’s Platypus project in the southern North Sea, from which first gas is scheduled for 2022. Mr Cross said projects like those would put Parkmead in the line of sight of larger companies capable of making large acquisitions. He said: “I’ve been here before. There comes a point when you come on people’s radars because production is at a level that makes you more recognisable. That’s the nature of where we are. “We have rising revenues, profits and reserves, so any industrialist looking in from the outside will start to realise this is a high quality company. “We’re not worried about that. We’re just driving ahead. If someone comes along and wants to partner with us or buy us, we’ll deal with that”

LLOYDS is going to FLY PrefInvestor1: US markets throwing a wobbly this afternoon so everything is down and the FTSE 100 fell off a cliff (probably as a result of that) after 160. US results and forward guidance with coronavirus in the mix appears to be the cause of it. This was always on the way this results season, as I posted here and elsewhere. So I know you’re ready with cash to snap up bargains. Goldman issued a warning yesterday that coronavirus could be the cause of the long-awaited correction. So, just the two or three weeks behind me. I’ll add a paypal account later for you all to send me your consultancy fees.

LLOY Eadwig 20 Feb 2020

LLOYDS is going to FLY trader_jack: Of course that might be a good idea these days depending on where she is likely to go but then who pays for what and who chooses where to visit? We could have a fun time deciding on where to visit. Planning such a holiday, with organised trips and visits in the different places can be a lot of fun if you like that sort of thing. Easy to do these days on the internet too. She might not want me around cramping her style, of course. Maybe I could meet up with her in one or two places instead. I doubt she’d want to travel alone, so that would be an issue is she goes with a friend, who pays? On the other hand, when it comes to hotels, most rooms cost the same for one or two people. trader_jack: I think that if I tried that with my granddaughter it would not end well. She is so choosy over what she eats (virtually nothing) so trying out local cuisine would present a problem, although she will eat Chinese, chicken and rice and that’s about it… I have that problem with Ms. Eadwig. She wont even try my cooking, let alone anything new or exotic. Then she puts so much fresh garlic in some of her cooking that the strength of smell actually gives me a headache. Can I get her to try, say, mango chutney? Not on your life. Miss Eadwig may turn out the same and she may not. Too early to tell on such things. The best way to get her to try something new is to sit down in view of her and start eating. She will always come over to ask what it is, and more often than not she wants a taste and then half my dinner disappears if she decides she likes it. I make my own cheeseburgers on occasion and I garnish them with chopped lettuce, among other things. She’s got to like the lettuce so much she will now eat a plate of it if I chop it in the right way (but not a leaf of lettuce on its own) She can take or leave the burger. Strange but true. Her latest thing is mixed nuts, especially almonds. I couldn’t eat lettuce or nuts when I was her age. On the other hand if I make something for her and try to get her to eat it she wont, 90% of the time, unless it involves chocolate. Still, the ‘This is my food, get off!’ decption still works well for now.
