Re: : Ess Essential,"It's a 1 Million and 200k Buy, whether it's great timing I have no idea"And Sir Buckley chipped in for another £50k's worth, doubling his stake. You'd think that a big bonobo like him could of ponied up a bit more but, hey, every little helps.The GKN feller has stepped up to the plate nicely, though. One can often discount anything less than £50k as being just chump change that is reluctantly forked out when the CEO or Chairman tells the lads to play the white man and do their bit to reassure the punters. But £1 million is close to real money.LKH on the flybridge

FCPT grapheve

Why the recent decline ? At 136p FCPT is now paying just over 5% in divis and sits at just a small premium to NAV , 103%, down from almost 120 % at one time. Other commercial property Investment trusts have also fallen.Any ideas / insight ?

Re: Back in... Me too. Just quadrupled my holding. Will be delighted if this reaches 50p.
i am guessing that somebody wants this to go back up now with all the small buys at 100 shares

Re: Eadwig - Junior ISA Eadwig and le vin est par - I'm afraid I disagree. I think JISAs are a great idea. Dividends on any capital over £100 that you or your partner give your child will be taxable as if the income were your own, once you or your partner are a taxpayer. Why pay extra income tax when the dividends and capital growth can be protected inside a JISA? Gifts from grandparents or other people are not affected by this rule.Also, the fact the money is locked up until age 18 is a positive advantage in my view: as with pensions to age 55, it can't be raided for short-term purposes that may later be regretted, and will be left to grow compounded and tax-free for a long time. How many adults, with all the day-to-day pressures on their finances, have the luxury of investing for 18 years to build up a lump sum?I think the issue of diversification is a red herring too: why leave long-term cash in a savings account rather than in an investment trust, just because you believe you can't achieve the chimera of a "balanced portfolio"? Future-proofing too is impossible: no one knows the future, but just investing in a single UK mid-cap investment trust for 18 years will be a huge improvement on cash in a building society account. There are also plenty of cheap trackers out there from the likes of Vanguard which attempt to replicate the UK indices, European ones, the S&P500, or indeed the whole world if you wish. Your child's capital will then suffer (and benefit from) all the vagaries of stock market gyrations, changes in currency rates, and the rise and decline of different regions just like everyone else's, but over the long-term her money will almost certainly do far better being invested in productive equity assets rather than sitting "safe" but largely dead in a savings account, barely tracking inflation.My daughter is 7 months old: we've invested two large gifts from her grandparents in the JPMorgan JISA, due to its low costs, and will do the same next year. The lump sum has a decent chance of growing over the next 17-18 years to be enough to pay for her university tuition fees. It will a lovely 18th birthday present, and a very practical way for her grandparents, who will probably have passed away by then, to leave a remembrance of themselves. We're also putting smaller gifts from friends into a simple savings account with the Nationwide: 3% interest tax-free. Yes, dead money, but still a useful piggy bank for our daughter to raid for small expenditures as she grows older.

Re: Legal & General RNS articles are never clear if a client is Buying or Selling shares and I assumed with the drop in share price that L&G has sold shares. But reading the RNS above section 5 implies they have increased their holding from 3 to 9%. Am I reading this correctly? Why should the share price plummet if there is a major buyer into the shares?
ARM Le Grand Meaulnes
20 Nov 2015
Re: ARM, STONKING Day Ahead??. Agreed. But it's slightly misleading to say "Apple were to withdraw orders". It's anyone's guess whether Apple actually currently place any orders with ARM - they bought an architecture license some time ago, and pay royalties. If Apple switched away from their own design to an Intel designed chip (or someone else entirely), then certainly ARM shares would take a big hit, due to lack of future royalties from ARM, but more because of the signal it would give that ARM were losing their grip. But, as Dave commented, that's unlikely.NB There is talk of Apple using Intel-manufactured chips. Don't confuse that with Intel-designed chips: the talk is that Apple will get Intel to make chips for them, because Intel are still the best chip-maker in the world. That would hit Samsung and others, but not really ARM. If the market is really stupid, it might hit ARM shares briefly due to confusion, which would give a nice buying opportunity - though I doubt it.
