Just trying to make life more about living and less about working through Fi

🇬🇧 The #FTSE100 Index is 42 years old. Only 14 companies trade under their original name, and one of them is #LGEN! Its recent correction alongside a 9% yield deserves a closer look IMO.
















The UK's full new State Pension rises to £241.30/week (£12,548/year) from tomorrow. Per late 2025 Moorepay/Numbeo data, it covers 120% of basic living costs (excl rent), leaving a £2,019 annual surplus—ranking 21st in Europe. Top: Luxembourg (225%), Italy (210%), Finland (208%). UK beats many Eastern countries but trails Northern/Western ones. (UK's flat-rate system vs earnings-linked elsewhere explains much of the gap.)


@afneil So lets nationalise it so we actually benefit from it and not the fossil fuel companies.





Weekend review- New stock added this week #CSN at 285p, it has an upcoming 7%+ divi. Added to holdings in #ITH also added to #MONY and #MNG. A surprise pull back for oil and gas stock #ITH with oil at $112😳#MONY dipped on ex divi day so took some additional shares at 145p just prior to it's bounce back to 155p. #MNG dipped to 271p from 280p so increased holding again. Incredibly volatile markets and some very good stocks offering what appears to be cheap prices. Markets moved down again into close Friday taking most stocks down with it. Risk is currently high across stocks, however, there's rarely reward without a bit of risk. Considered moving more into cash this week but went for the additional stocks as detailed above. Cash rich stocks that provide Free Cash Flow, dividends and generate profits typically steer through these periods better than most despite some dramatic and surpising price moves, that's my rationale here ....cash 11%....ytd +49%
