Morning Stephen,

Yes it’s a pity to close due to subscribers numbers but there we are – time marches on. Perhaps it’s become too easy for occasional readers to self-select which partly accounts for the falling numbers. I know at least one reader in that category, as you’ve commented before here hence taking out the previous published HYP constituents.

Like others have suggested, it would have been great to see the usual end of year round up of performance of the various HYP’s in what I suggest has been a poor year for capital, but good for income, especially forward income. Pity that, as I was genuinely looking forward to a pungent review. I’d like to suggest that falling numbers are in fact a bullish sign for income approaches and the irony is that now is probably a great time to start an income portfolio, though perhaps not as good as the dog days of 2008 of course. So it goes, income yields go up, subscribers dump income strategies, or paying for them at least.

Anyway if another venture pops up in whatever form – really I’d suggest conventional value is better suited to cyclic publication as the changing tips naturally prevent re-use (same crossword as last month? hmm)– then I’d be happy to subscribe. Just make sure to use your own brand name again, and you’ll be found. If not, enjoy, and many thanks for the tuition.

Colin
