Hi Darka, thanks for your input. I don't hold them, but used to work for them a long, long, time ago. I'm a bit wary of support shares anyway, but good luck to any holders out there.

To be honest I'm not sure why I hold them, got them to diversify a while ago and not sure if that will turn to diworsify one day...

Down 5% today.

Hi again Darka. They're not talked about much here, but I'm sure you're not the only HYP holder of them. Your point regarding for buying for the added diversity is on the face of it sound I guess. However, I fell foul of such tactics too, buying into the Provident Finance and Carillion stories. All for the sake of that extra diversification. I see G4S are down nearly 7% currently. OK, SP is not something we worry about here, but the shares I've just mentioned, and G4S, are a lesson for all would be HYPers, and a reminder for current holders too. You don't have to hold everything all in the name of diversification.

Ian.
