In the meantime I would like to add to my holdings in Shell, which is comfortably above 400p now and at around the average I have bought the shares over the past few years. The company has had a rotten recent history, but the new management team now seems determined to restore investors' faith in Shell by going "back to basics".

A slimmed-down, reformed Shell is an attractive proposition. And it gives you a yield of 4 per cent, but with the prospect of a little bit of capital growth (long-term) on top.
