Why remain holding a modest stake Winner ? Fair question. I'm not completely immune to emotional attachment especially when its free carry but I think my position is more fairly characterized by the old broker expressions of "Underperform" and "Underweight".
True - you have never said you hated anyone - you just call her "Taxcinda", rail against "Socialism", and put the Govt and left wingers in general down every chance you get.
So suppose I withdraw and apologise for referring to "visceral hatred".
Let's simply say that your recent posts are redolent with so much obvious and strong emotion that I find it hard to evaluate the worth of your conclusions.

Quite right - they don't qualify as investments just pure speculation

Fascinating reading this thread and it's posts over the last few days.
A psychologists dream.
Meanwhile OCA will probably reward the patient and rational as time goes by.

Indeed, pointed my mate at London School of Ecomics to this thread (and a couple of others. He’s always after raw material for his Behavioral Ecomics students to study.
He thanked me and commented that our Jacinda seems more hated than their Boris

Helped my parents move into a Metlifecare Village last week.
So far the level of service provided by the Village manager and the rest of the staff has been first class, even providing a free lunch, dinner and drinks on their first day as official residents! ( They have had access to their villa all week to start moving and get setup).
I got talking to the Village Manager and asked her about the new owners and she says so far they have been wonderful, they have big expansion plans including buying established smaller villages and bringing them into the Metlifecare umbrella.
She also said they have a program to add care facilities to a lot of their villages which don't have them at the moment over the next 5 years, which would explain their grabbing Earl!

mean while the picture for retirement stocks gets more clouded with the double wammy of rising building costs for materials and labour and also the potential falling property values. not a conducive environment for them to be making improved margins more likely the opposite.

Agree. Same could be said over on the ATM thread IMHO.

Next minute it is imminent bankruptcy and the sky is falling.
