Just to clarify my remarks on GPG. The reason why I said GPG was risky is that relative to bank fixed interest and property *all* shares and *all* unsecured notes are risky. I did not wish to imply any slur on GPG or its management.
Also the reason that GPG has such a low dividend yield is that management have determined that this is the most tax efficient way to build shareholder wealth, as Hoop suggested.
So stick with it Hoop and I am sure you will do well, if the track record of management is anything to go by. I'm sorry I don't have GPG shares myself, but I can't own everything that is good!
