Hello Share Takers. One of the safer ways to buy shares is to make a choice that depends on the success of a wide range of companies. And if you're worried about the longer term effects of Covid on the British market, then there’s a case for buying into an investment group that invests in far-flung places. But you need to choose a venture that really moves with the times.
Hello Share Shufflers. There aren't many investment outfits I entrust my dough to, but regular readers will know I’ve time for City of London Investment Group (CLIG). A big reason to support it is a very generous dividend policy, and now comes news of a special pay-out on top.
Hello, Share Tremblers. Did you know that some graphs show that electricity and gas here costs about five times what they do in some European countries? That is in peak periods, although we normally pay twice as much. And there’s no doubt that British share values are being held back by the energy and fuel crises we’ve been going through. Thankfully though, there are some British share trusts which specialise in foreign companies.
Hello, Share Cats. Probably like yourself, I prefer to pick my own shares. But once in a while, an asset management group appeals to me. I’ve already recently brought a progress report on one of my two funds, BlackRock Greater Europe (BRGE). That has busted through another all-time high. My other such investment is the City of London Investment Group (CLIG). So how’s this one doing?...
Hello Share Chasers. Every so often I commend the pioneering cost-cutting City of London Investment Group (CLIG) to your further scrutiny. Since my last write-up, this on-the-ball share company has seen an approximate 20% hike. It’s become one of those special investments which put on a few percent each day followed by the usual profit-taking correction, only to start creeping ahead again. The latest news is that an all-share merger with Karpus Management Inc., a US-based investment management business has gone ahead...
Hello, Share Pickers. A company I often keep you posted on is City of London Investment Group (CLIG). Its numbers just came out and caused the share price to jump by 8% (though it later settled a bit). Probably because it coped well with the virus, though that’s not surprising because this is a far-sighted group which actually prepared a plan against a worldwide epidemic ten years ago. Such an impressive example of foresight has paid off...
Hello. Share Swingers. As it’s another boring bank holiday with closed markets, allow me to review a few of the shares in my bag. These have been commended to you over the last couple of months or so. During that time the Footsie and most other shares have hardly moved at all. Ok, the Covid plays have been up and down like a pogo stick, but the average performance is only standing still.
Hello, Share Tasters. The share price of one of my favourite companies dived more than 30% when the virus really struck our stock markets in March and since then, like most strong companies, it has rallied. Shares in City of London Investment Group (CLIG) were recently trading at around 325p, before the crisis they were about 450p and hit 275p in March. Now comes news that CLIG is merging with an American outfit called Karpus Management Inc....
