2024 is coming to an end, I'm about to put my slippers on, sit in front of a roaring fire and dig into some Marks & Spencer mince pies. Ah, the good life.
Before I log off until next year, there's one last traditional obligation to fulfil, and that's to publish a list of the year's most popular posts from the UK Dividend Stocks Blog.
And so, without further ado, here are the posts that most caught readers' attention in the not entirely fantastic year that was 2024:
(1) FTSE 100 valuation and forecast for 2024
(2) The UK’s 20-year house price bubble may finally be ending
(3) FTSE 250 valuation and forecast for 2024
(4) UK Top 40 Quality Dividend Stocks: Summer 2024
(5) Are Diageo shares a buy after their 35% price decline?
(6) The FTSE 100's record highs: Bubble or new bull market?
(7) The UK Dividend Stocks Portfolio 2023 year-end review
(8) Next's shares are up 100% since 2022: Time to buy or sell?
(9) Close Brothers has suspended its dividend: Should I sell?
(10) How I'm hunting for UK dividend hero stocks
I'll be back in 2025 with the usual mix of dividend stock reviews and stock market valuations, and I hope to see you there.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
John Kingham
