We commenced our meeting with a variety of Fever Tree mixers - those who weren't driving added a splash of gin.
Everyone delighted at the total sum of dividends received this month: enough to pay for our Christmas lunch at the Chewton Glen which is already booked - our annual treat.
As per our usual format we reported on all our shares, most of which we held (see previous blogs listing shares held by us). A few we are concerned about and these were discussed.
IQE: the US backing of Huawei could have a damaging effect on IQE - should we sell?
RedT Energy: Share dropped rapidly since January - decided to hold for one more month and discuss again at the July meeting.
Whitbread: Various articles seen expressing concern over this company. Share price is down from last month. We've made a lot of money over the years from Whitbread, buying and selling. Is it time to sell again!
