Sign it ... no way ... it's been done to death, and death is what it deserves! Get the research right and you might have a hope. It's not the market makers who specify the buy/sell, it's the web sites! And even that is based on a best guess of the bid/offer price at the time (even worse when the trade is legitimately delayed in time). It's dead because its wrong ... rewrite the thing, make a valid and proper statement/claim and you might get some support. In the meantime, TWICE this has been floated and TWICE it's failed. Don't flog a dead horse. Mike

As you say ... yields on all boards/sites are 'historical' yields unless clearly marked other wise. This will lead to anomalies whenever the dividend is either increased or decreased from its previous historical figure. As always it is a case of do your own research and being very, very aware of what the figures mean. Interestingly we will have the opposite problem when the dividend is increased again towards its historically high levels! Mike
A heads up, that as LSE states a yield of 9.47% on BHP Billitob stock, it's a matter of fact more like 2.9%. BHP cut there dividend this year, and on current FX rate stands at around 25p payout for fy(8.99p & 16p). This is stated in the interim results back in Feb / March.
Yes, it is board hopping and the reason that the Petition is essentially stagnant and dead in the water is that it is misinformed and seriously flawed. If you research the subject fully you will see that it is the websites that apply the 'buy' and 'sell' indications -- it has nothing to do with the market makers and is certainly not the result of market manipulation. The typical small print on sites says "Trade definitions are based on the mid-price and are indicative only". For delayed trades the sites frequently get them wrong because the trade can no longer be interpreted within the now changed bid/offer spread. I WON'T be sigining this and I won't be encouraging anyone else to either. Put simply it's a job for the web sites and not one for the FCA or parliament. Mike
Apologies for board hopping but- The petition is going quite well; ~4400 signatures so far. Although it really needs a turbo boost. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/112044/sponsors/frRbCOsOLO6QqIN82UOX This petition was stalled in parliament since 12th Aug 15; finally green lit on 12th feb 2016. The FCA don't even reply on the matter, now is your chance to have your say. If you hate seeing buys reported as sells etc!!!!!! Has already been sent to Martin Lewis, Daily Mail, Moneyweek & Watchdog. My local MP supported this petition by writing to the petitions committee to help un-stall it. There’s 650 MP’s in Westminster, So have you written to your MP? 649 to go! If this petition doesn’t reach 10,000; then imo we might as well have not bothered as it will almost certainly be filed B1N; @ 10,000 the government should respond. We are currently getting approx. 100 new signatures a week, but need 3x that amount to reach the target with only 15 weeks to go. At 5000 I will send this to the PM & the chancellor as well as my MP again. So – If you haven’t yet signed or indeed have but haven’t passed it on to others, then now’s the time to do so. If each person who has signed can get just one other person to sign then we will double the total immediately. I have posted to all aim listed gas n oilies, currently doing the footsy 100. But I can only do so much to push this. Really need you guys & gals to help. Thanks to all who have signed so far. We really need a social / media savvy individual to help generate more interest in this.
They are hoping the price will fall so they can pick up the shares cheaply for themselves. I ignore what brokers suggest.
So, they're advising their clients to buy because they think the sp is gonna be 840! Do these well paid professional people keep up to date with things?
All aboard the money train!
Highest close since 11th Nov, over 5 months ago and up over 50% from the lows of January.
This is unbelievable...... a drop of 9 to 7.94
This really has been flying the last few days! Massive dividend cut, downgrading of credit rating and plan of compensation for Brazil has rocketed the sp upwards. Go figure.
multiples imv..esp with long U or even L in prospect
Not holding my breath, but am holding here. Three factors in our favour are 1 that the company that ran the mine was a separate entity to BLT, 2 that the other joint owner Vale are a big player in Bazil with a lot of influence, and 3, every day that passes more of the mud gets washed out of the river meaning more fish can return. IMO there will not be a legal feeding frenzy.
might these be the type of assets bhp go for? http://www.soq-cap.com/freeport-mcmoran-inc-light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel
irrational exuberance
For a big capital gaining sp increase here now, because we aren't gonna see much dividend income for the foreseeable future, for that, money would be better in the bank. Think the city like the div cut of 75% though if you look at how the sp has been rising the last few days, it isn't all down to the rise in poo. Let's see, in Oz it dived on the news but recovered to end up 3%, so hopefully if oil stabilises and rises more and the outlook for other commodities rises, we could see 9-10 £ in a couple of months.

divi cut vid..http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000495882
Worst kept secret.divi cut to 5%.the markets should like this move.shows management are supporting the cash within the company.big ups this week to contiue
Either everyone is happy with 5% divi or they aren't cutting. Either way, the city is liking this today. Happy for the holding I have but tinged with a little disappointment I didn't add more at 6.30-6.50. Kinda took my eye off and it's raced away a bit. Will see what reaction there is to results and divi announcement then add if it drops or be satisfied to be back in profit if she rises. Kinda win win. Gl all
Wait for the results tomorrow ;)
this one bounces as much as rio.
im long here myself.. at time of writing i c FTSE FUT are down 2.14% [Bloomberg tv]...
