Lots of large companies are currently reducing or even completely scrapping their dividend payments, and whilst some of them will still be seen as attractive investments for capital growth, it leaves income funds in a bit of a quandary.
Hello, Share Troopers. My favourite insurance investment is doing well. Its 12-month operating profit has risen by 12% to £2.1 billion...
Hello, Share Shufflers. By the time you read this, we’ll all be either pleased or fed up on the election result. But trading shares immediately on the result could be a mistake. The market could assess the result and go off entirely on the wrong tack. Then it could change its mind and go the opposite way. It’s probably not worth getting caught in the mayhem. So I’m sitting on the sidelines until the middle of next week. However, there are some shares that could keep on rising even if the financial seas are stormy. One such stock in my opinion is Legal & General (LGEN)...
Hello, Share Speakers. Possibly my favourite Footsie giant is Legal and General (LGEN). After buying the shares just after the biggest financial crash in living memory I have seen a multi-bagger rise, which is unusual for a jumbo. The latest figures from the insurer seem to support my loyalty.
Hello, Share Spookers. My old favourite Legal & General (LGEN) is making the news. It has a policy which could energise the share price. The company is taking action it hopes will curb global warming...
Hello Share Masters. Today I return to an old favourite because its value continues to rise in the sea of our biggest companies, which is pretty choppy at the mo. But Legal & General (LGEN) continues to put on weight on an almost daily basis. The share has now put on a fifth of its December value - which is substantial progress for a jumbo stock...
Hello, Share Divers. Allow me to take a break from my latest list of more speculative shares and remind you about the worthiness of a successful Footsie giant. My choice today is one of the few big index members which is holding up rather well in spite of the Brexit chaos...
Hello, Share Sifters. One of my all-time Footsie favourites, Legal & General (LGEN) is growing even bigger. And so I rather fancy will the share price. Ok, in the first six months of this year, underlying operating profit did not improve by much - 5% to £909 million - but that was partly due to pumping more dosh into digital technology which will serve the company well in the future.
Hello, Share Chisellers. Mostly I suggest you look at small-cap and penny shares. But every portfolio needs a few ’safer’ stalwarts to keep an even keel. One such company for me is Legal & General (LGEN). Now, most insurance companies have seen their share prices bloat in the last year or so and that happy trend continues.
