A far from convinced 7280 from me, please Rob.
Will be interesting to see whether the traditional end of year rally can overcome the storm clouds that must surely be appearing on the horizon soon if inflation continues to rise.
And October is always good for a bit of panic and a big sell-off!

Thought I'd throw this open, as it should be of interest to a fair few older bods. Investing for income.
I'm finally selling my UK house, which means I will no longer have the rental income it provided. We are in no rush to invest in property elsewhere so I would like to re-invest the proceeds mainly in investments that generate income. While I'll be more comfortable with funds - and for this I'm expecting great advice from my newly appointed IFA- a buddy locally who really knows his stuff financially, shared details of his share portfolio which generates decent income..some up to 8% pa.
So on the basis that *nobody is offering advice* I thought I'd share those equities he mentioned, and ask if anyone else cares to share any ideas for reliable income generating equities (or anything else).
He does well out of tobacco, which I'm not going to touch; he has shares in Philip Morris, the Altria parent, and the local Czech operation, Tabak.
He has a couple in the banking sector even though he has misgivings about banks as businesses : Citigroup and Wells Fargo
He invests in two of the actual companies whose business is funds ( I like this idea): Schroders and Jupiter
He's got IBM, typical unfashionable but rock solid tech.
And he has AT&T although he admits he's not sure if this will be a good choice.
Hopefully this is worth a general discussion, and I'll certainly be interested if any other punters have some holdings mainly for income.0 -

Others - GSK, Rio Tinto, and SSE or United Utilities. I would also add a bit of oil! - BP and/or Royal Dutch Shell.
Edit: On the funds businesses, I would add M&G.1 -

I'm with Golfie, go for growth and my Structured products currently look healthier than 4% @golfaddick !
Can you have an ISA or do you have an equivalent in your country?
PS £25 for me on the PB's, £100 for Mrs R7Lee and that bl00dy father in law of mine wins again with 2x £25! Nothing for the kids.0 -

I certainly wasn't thinking of relying on equity stocks to provide the income I need - after so many years of swerving stocks that would be bizarre at this stage of my life, but I thought that a small portfolio of solid dividend payers might be worth having as part of the overall approach.1 -

I'll leave mine in mostly growth funds when I start to retire/drawdown. Chasing income isn't needed if you continue to, on average, grow your overall pot by at least inflation. Remember you can't take it with you so at some point spending capital is no bad thing.2 -
2 x £25 on the Premium Bonds.
I also mentioned a while ago that I was looking at moving my DB Pension out to a drawdown and was going through the process of advice to do that. Got the OK on the 23rd June and then took a week to get the funds transferred. Handed in my “resignation with benefits” on the 30th. Still have just under 2 months of work, but the SIPP has almost made back the fee for the advice already and I am really looking forward to closing the work laptop for the last time! 😁6 -
