I did not read the detail of every reply , but I would not do anything with ALL of them . Why not take it in chunks (bits) ? - of either 50% OR 25% ... and sell those . Revisit in say a years time or whatever , and review what has happened .. then take another action. Down the road , you may...

This is essentially my approach too (CHANGE 48 FOR MY 51 !). I enjoy it - I probably spend too much time on computer as a result. Just follow my one simple rule for "investing / share picking" : Rule ONE : There are no Rules !!! I simply tend to buy when prices are heading down (provided they...

I would start by gathering some facts and data. Measure and record the temps in various rooms every hour. "Feeling cold" or drafty is not a measurement. Again - get info from actual hot air temps in various places. As the saying goes ... if you can't / don't measure it ... you can't manage...

Hmm .... I'm going to "politely disagree" / ? clarify, with some of the things you have written. Hot temperature food : Well , I never had a problem with the ice cream there ... maybe better to say Freshly cooked food ? Can get ...... : January is the month of the visit (assuming title is...

About 150km South of Chennai - a place called Pondicherry (Locals spell it differently) Interesting place with strong historic French connections. Have been back a few times since leaving .... for heat , and nice food !!

1.428 actually ... that's quite a few less , you should be ok !! ;D

My "saying" ... having lived there for two years and visited since quite a few times : "The quality of the food is inversely proportional to the price" Not what one would normally expect !!

Identical to my experience - I have given up too (used to be lots of watchers . bidders and buyers ... they seem to have disappeared !! (obviously gone elsewhere !!))

From this , it sounds like cat eats as much as it wants ?? (unlimited supply ?) This to me is a NO NO. My Mog gets fed twice per day (so happens to be at 6:30 am and pm ... cat can tell the time !! . A Kitten (say - sub 6 or 9 months ?) I would probably feed 3 times in day ... BUT a set...

Simple fact and data from my own holdings : (whoppee - a sample size of ONE !!) Since I started investing - return on USA stocks as of last week +84% , UK stocks , +11%. A year or so agao it was "different" USA was +95% , UK was +5%. By UK I mean FTSE listed shares. I understand that UK...

Signs of life (noise) being reported this morning ...... better than I thought at this point ... good news !

Nit Picking ... but if you voltage is higher , your current should be slightly lower ?? Am I missing something here . Your own sums say 15.625 amps at 120v , which agrees with me ... you can't have it both ways (higher current AND higher voltage). Solution move to the UK and get 240 volts...

Average for 6 years : 10.24 %. If I do 7 yrs , it jumps to over 15% due to one "mad" year" .... which was clearly not "normal"

This would be my theory too ... and working on them as necessary !! (tinkering / servicing / cleaning) .... but mostly riding !

May be an easy solution : DON'T pull it straight off - bring it off at an angle (let it "fall" over from the vertical (relative to the grease nipple)) ... try that and report. Proper tip (and don't ask how it works - but it does !!) : Sometimes , when trying to attach gun and pump grease in...
