I am fed up with watching a tracker fund I have mooching about doing
absolutely nothing - it's been a bit like watching paint dry I can tell you!
So I am withdrawing funds from it to put elsewhere.

I am looking for a very good divi payer with minimal risk so the safe
and boring usual suspects! Yes I know it could be banked but even with a good
interest rate it is possible to do better via divis and I can't ISA it..

I already own some Severn Trent and Scott & Southern energy ones, but really
don't want to put more money into those currently as the prices are skyhigh.

Any tuck away beauties anyone likes that I could look into?
Viridan looks interesting. AWG looks best avoided I think as does
United Utilities - but do you know anything that mitigates the bad press?
Ta and thanks chaps and chappesses in advance!!

Scripo(etc!) thank you for your ideas and also Big Al (I also hold
LLOY and agree completely with your thoughts...I just want it to drop a
fraction before considering it further...Mean I know but margins are margins.
Will watch SVT post-ex-div to see if people take profits, if they do and
it drops nearer 750p (or below) I shall be in there like a shot!
Be lucky and Scripo. good luck with the course/seminar thingie.

Stockbunny hi - got your mail. I have about six sides of research that I can drop in the post or fax to you that may be of interest. Something of a technical problem at the mo, so can't mail you back.

If you want to drop me another mail with some contact info I'll fax them or post as you wish. (post in this contex means Royal Mail !)

Question to the House: Why is it impossible to sit more than three computers two printers and a fax machine and a telephone in one room without (1) them blowing up or (2) paying someone under 25 twice their age in salary to cast bones in the corner and wave the magic wand ?

"Know much about computers Guv ? No ? Well its your Woggle Amps, they've sheared right off "

Missed MRX off my list, good balance sheet, dividend well covered, yeilds 6-7%

UKC

38 - don't worry for now, although thank you sincerely for your
offer, it was most appreciated - a different potential 'iron in
the fire' has come to light which is not stockmarket based, so
currently waiting on details to consider it.

No worries, anytime.

Regards
