But a good one. 1% increase every week = 68% per year

The power of compound interest! ...but 2% per week would be better!!!

I think the import thing is that investments seldom grow in straight lines and the real trick is buying and selling on the highs and lows...!

ITV is looking exceedingly cheap at the current price.

ITV is looking exceedingly cheap at the current price.

I was thinking the same.

With a dividend of 8%. Plus the opportunity to double up and average out our existing holding. If the share price rises we will be in a position to sell ITV sooner rather than later.

I'd be happy to buy ITV too, but I reckon we're looking well into next year before we see any turn in fortunes because it's so tied to Brexit and the ad-spend downturn.

But lets put it to the vote shall we?

reasons for: dividend, average price reduced

reasons against: how brexit pans out in the year ahead will affect ad spending (I would love it to be a good outcome but not feeling at all hopeful.)

The "B" word. We don't have much time left. Boris says Halloween is the big day.

It is not just Halloween that counts but the months and years ahead. I think ITV will stay low for a fair few months but the dividend and average price reduction I would find very tempting.
