It is, I think, the only 'Subforum' and as such, is both easily missed by visitors scanning the Board index, and entries posted can soon be overwritten in the 'Last post' column by something on the main board item 'Investment Strategies'. This results in fewer readers being alerted to a new post, fewer readers of the post, and fewer respondents.

The site is now up and running (well done) and is possibly due a quick look back at what's worked, what's not, and what needs tuning. I would suggest that 'Investing for income' merits a more prominent position than it currently has.


The 'Investing for Income' subforum seems to have vanished.

Has anyone any idea where it's gone?

I'm not certain but was that the one with a Topic about John Baron's income portfolio or perhaps the Gadge Global Income Portfolio 2016 Selection?

If so they are both now at Investment Strategies viewforum.php?f=8 and, as you say, the Investing for Income sub forum is no more.

1. Investing For Income got sucked upwards into Investment Strategies during a recent tidy-up. All the posts were retained but moved up one layer. Please try to use that - it is not at all intended to be a HYP board (there are two of them !).

2. I'll check with Stooz & Clariman re a board for "REITs & Property Companies board" on "Sectors & General Shares".

regards, dspp

Just to be clear - there are not two "HYP" boards. There is one HYP board to discuss the HYP and one other High Yield Strategies board to discuss any type of high yield strategy, not just indvidual shares and not just the HYP as a concept.

The HYP board is for discussing the HYP and its practical application.

And neither was Investing For Income on TMF, as its remit was to cover all forms of Investing For Income, not just the very constrained form specified by HYP (which, in fact, it didn't discuss at all).

Agreed with your main point there - but the last parenthetical remark is wrong: it did occasionally discuss HYP in the course of its discussions of investing for income. As the first example I came across in a rather random look, see http://web.archive.org/web/201701212028 ... sort=whole .
