recommended by the fleet street group,it looks promising!

SD - That's exactly what I did this afternoon!!!

Very grown-up!

Well there's got to be one part of my life where sensible rules :-)

now all you need is a stop-loss on SEY!

But surely SEY will be 1 by Christmas?!!!!

so - you won't be stopped out then will you - but just in case the unexpected happens you'll be protected. Not saying set up an automatic one, they get triggered by freak intraday events too often - but have one in mind and stick to it. If you set it tight enough you can buy back in lower if the worst happens.

Cheers. Actually Shares Mag has SEY at 76p in three years according to analyst predictions so that will do me.

very nice too - see you there

Amazing days. BVS fallen from 920p to 750p in a couple of weeks and then up 48p, or 6.5% in just one day. An extreme example of the current market volatility.

This seems out of interest:

Yield and promises.

Bovis Homes Group PLC (BVS.LN) on Thursday declared its first special dividend and raised its payout target, despite reporting a 26% fall in 2017 pretax profit as it sold fewer houses.

The house builder made a pretax profit for the year of 114 million pounds ($156.8 million) compared with GBP154.7 million a year earlier, on revenue that fell to GBP1.03 billion from GBP1.05 billion.

It sold 3,645 houses in the year at an average price of GBP272,400 compared with 3,977 houses in 2016 at GBP254,900.

The board declared a special dividend of 45 pence a share, which it expects to be paid toward the end of the year. It also declared a final dividend of 32.5 pence a share compared with 30.0 pence a year earlier, taking the total payout for 2017 to 47.5 pence.

The board plans to pay special dividends of GBP180 million--or 134 pence a share--over the three years to 2020. It said the company plans to declare dividends of 57 pence for 2018, and move progressively towards payouts that are twice covered by earnings in 2020.

Bovis said it has started 2018 with a strong sales position and that more than 40% of consensus 2018 revenues have been secured.

Average site visits during the first eight weeks were 14% higher than the same period last year, it said.
