Who cares about a 3.3% yield when we have a capital appreciation of nearly 25% since you sold? That is about 7 years income.

Wow - Mr. Hindsight.
I do not understand. That is not hindsight. As at Friday's closing that is fact. That is not why I have held on to Astra for a long while. That is just to me a stroke of luck. It may, indeed probably, will fall again on Monday. If so so be it. I was/am perfectly happy to hold on to AstraZeneca now as I was in the past.
Seriously please explain what you mean.
