@karenwi17092279 My AI “assistant” plays good cop to my bad cop and offers wise counsel, I can be very impulsive

[David-Independent Investor @IndependentInv4]

Topped up JGGI late yesterday but nothing temps me this am. Having cash can burn a hole in my investment pocket but I am getting better at doing nothing.

@75again Not one I own but I do have TRIG &GCP, I am a little cautious with renewables but they have value in a portfolio subject to NAV. I do own covered call (JEGP & SDIP ).

@maaverix The numbers are based on what people think they need in retirement -housing costs ie mortgage or rent are excluded and that would make a material difference. I will post the research.

[David-Independent Investor @IndependentInv4]

From the BBC today,research by Lboro Uni. The article is worth a look but I would want to know what the numbers include.

[David-Independent Investor @IndependentInv4]

Added a small amount to SGLN(GOLD) to my ISA, a position I am slowly building after previously selling and taking profits.

[David-Independent Investor @IndependentInv4]

One still to pay but ISA is on an all time high and SIPPs a strong finish. LGEN,JEGP and a couple of Van Bonds pay next week. Still holding back cash.

[David-Independent Investor @IndependentInv4]

@karenwi17092279 Great news,well done to him.

[David-Independent Investor @IndependentInv4]

Divs from RLondon,a bond and AIRE(sold and forgotten ) have also landed with two more to still to pay. All days should be this good but they won’t be.

[David-Independent Investor @IndependentInv4]

Added to DLN and bought back into AV where I previously sold out too early, a trait of mine. Divs starting to land. Off for coffee and cake this am whilst Mrs D visits her stylist.

[David-Independent Investor @IndependentInv4]

Topped up HICL(SIPP) ex div using divs from AEW. 7 more divs to come tomorrow possibly my biggest ever day.

[David-Independent Investor @IndependentInv4]

Sold FOXT at a loss for Mrs D as she was unwilling to invest further. Otherwise just watching, wanting to do something is often best resisted in investing.

[David-Independent Investor @IndependentInv4]

@maaverix Yes sir

[David-Independent Investor @IndependentInv4]

And just bought more gold(ISA),need to get my trainers on now.

[David-Independent Investor @IndependentInv4]

Added to BPCR&24 Dynamic Bond both SIPP. Will take another look later. Off for a morning walk hopefully Mrs D will continue to miss the Camper van

[David-Independent Investor @IndependentInv4]

@BookswithNimesh It’s an investment book

[David-Independent Investor @IndependentInv4]

My current reading, I should have bought this years ago! The book is less expensive than my mistakes .
Enjoy the Bank Holiday
