Do you expect a good report from INDV?
Not for any educated reason.

Good Morning
Neil Woodford has bought a lot of Lloyds bank shares, will they go up long term? only 67P at the moment.
A lot of people are tipping Lloyds. I hold some and see it as a decent yielding share with prospects for growth. I wouldn't expect too much in the short term though.Neil Woodford has bought a lot of Lloyds bank shares, will they go up long term? only 67P at the moment.
There's been an increase of foreign tourists to the U.K recently taking advantage of the cheap pound. There will be some companies that will benefit from this in their post summer results, so may be a good short term investment, but... which companies?
They would have to be mostly UK focused (I.e not Hilton where uk represents a very small portion of global income)
Retail or services industry
Restaurant group don't seem to have great brands, so I'm not sure about them
Whitbread group? (Costa, premier inn, pubs)
Thoughts please!

I have been sat on some for 6 months, just about to break even again. Tempted to bail but I get the feeling it is going to gain in the long run.Neil Woodford has bought a lot of Lloyds bank shares, will they go up long term? only 67P at the moment.
I've been holding lloyds for a while and have recently bought a load for my parent's ISAs.
Seems a no brainer to me personally - i was fortunate to get in at the brexit drop around c. 55p (50 something anyway...) and I believe the gov't will hold until 75p minimum, which is enough for me as a long term hold. Divis are also 3-4% I believe, which is the main reason I bought in for the parents.
For info, my current holds include:
Petrofac - Currently a massive 11-12% divi, meaning either the divi will drop to a sensible level (c.4-6%), or the share price will go up to balance out the divi. It's climbing rapidly from where I bought so i'm hoping for the latter.
Transocean - Smashed to bits due to the price of oil but can't really drop much lower, still the biggest guy in the offshore game and protected from the banks until 2021 at the very least, by which time hopefully oil will have recovered somewhat. I was trading from 10-12p at the end of last year and have been accumulating below 9p.
FTSE250 trackers - these are simply for divi and long term holds for the parents, my 'something safe'.
National Grid - Stalwart and decent divi. Down a bit from when I bought but simply means the divi percentage is higher as it's unlikely to drop much from last time.

Hello chaps. Look in here from time to time but have hardly posted. My recent purchases have included B&M European Value, more Lloyds and back into Severfield after a long time out.
Note however that I am the man that decided ASOS at 8p was too expensive........... Kills me really kills me. Bought some other crap and lost half my money on them.
L.F.

I'm still holding my AST shares, still slightly under water but a lot better than a week ago!
Hoping to be nicely in to profit over the next 3-6 weeks.
Looks promising, I just bought some too.Hoping to be nicely in to profit over the next 3-6 weeks.
BABA keeps rising, pre-market price up by 1.44% today so might be worth grabbing on CFD while the trend lasts.

Do you mean the govt will hold their shares? Because the govt no longer hold their shares in Lloyds as of a few weeks ago, has now been returned to full private ownership. ecksjay said:

That must have changed then, last time I looked into it, they weren't clearing out until 75p.lockhart flawse said:

Ouch. I just worked out what that would mean had you invested £1,000. Note however that I am the man that decided ASOS at 8p was too expensive........... Kills me really kills me. Bought some other crap and lost half my money on them.
