Exactly. They will sell after the 26th. Obviously.
Seed have played an absolute blinder. they will not be running anywhere. you have to be on the shareholder base on the 26th april to get the dividend. if they sell on ex dividend on the 25th april they will not be getting the dividend. very clever of ed. so holding for profits after the dip and getting the dividend.
Ex-dividend this will be less attractive than it is now. It’s 2.7p to buy now with a 1p dividend about to be given in a months time. Once paid this will have less cash to invest and a lower NAV. It’s hovered around 2p for the last year or so with a NAV of 7p which dropped to 6p. For LTH’s it’s not really a solution. The fund has decreased in value over the last 7 years and it’s continuing to do so. That’s why it’s been trading at a huge discount to NAV. Years of shady looking deals and near £10m written off to friends ventures. It’s a decent buy for those getting in at 2p for the dividend, they can get divi and then maybe get close to 2p ex-dividend which will give a near 50% gain in a matter of weeks
Though there may be a rush for the door ex dividend
I'm sure Ed hopes so!
Cheap shares for the ever increasing buyback scheme.
We might see double figures at this rate next year!
I dont think it will, I think people will take the dividend and then the stock price will go back to being sub nav as usual. There is nothing but words to intimate anything else.
And we know how far words go with Seed Innovations dont we.
Bed and isa just gone through
Agee,
This will be well above 3p next week,
Great dividend return of 1p per share, very generous return I have to say.
May them continue
People have got to start taking notice today with the weekend upon us and 6 days until ex Div,what's not to like
If it is a turning point for seed and i think it is then big gains and dividends. who would not want that in the next 12 months to 18 months. and ed comes out smelling of roses by forward thinking and all about shareholders. infact it looks as if he has already changed but time will tell. and i will stay a shareholder for the gains if he has changed his way of thinking putting shareholders first.
I may even sell myself. totally depends what ed says and has in store for the future. but a profit is a profit and a nice dividend is a nice dividend.
It may even be a turning point for Seed!
I do not think any one will be bothered. no one should fall in love with any company in this game. that is what gets investers in a mess in the first place and not cutting a loss. this is all about getting the share price up now and the special dividend. if ed can keep the sentiment with good news then he will keep enough on board to make more money. if not you get the dividend and sell.
That’s the issue Dagenham. I’m not sure people will hang around after receiving the dividend. The SP has increased over 30% following the dividend announcement . Ex- dividend it will have a slightly lower NAV and less cash to invest.
I mentioned that myself. the ex dividend date being more than a week out and more shareholders clicking on to this means it has got to rise.
I am thinking of buying more myself this week. i can see a forward looking stronger share price and the amazing dividend cash payed in just a few weeks. and maybe more to come. basically what is not to like right now. all in my own opinion of course.
The reason being, the SP wouldn’t have increased if they had made the ex-dividend date pre-RNS for the benefit of LTH’s. It’s obviously aimed at boosting the share price and made available to anyone.
I think he will want to keep up good sentiment this year and back to back news of special dividend and clean foods news point to that. still a week to go before going ex dividend and then what he uses the other money for will count. if he can keep sentiment up[ apart from the obvious ex dividend day drop] then all well looking forward.
Interesting to see it’s still available to others buying in now. Still time for those on the sidelines.
At least you are still in to pick up dividend. and as you say amazing dividend. i think ed has changed his way of thinking concerning both the fund and shareholders going forward. he waited till the last lot of leap money to start moving and quickly announced the dividend. and the past is the past. all we all have is the present and future.
I do like the dividend. What can Ed do to follow that? History doesn’t give me much confidence. It hasn’t increased a huge amount for a dividend of this % of SP. He’s had a large amount of cash for over a year and hasn’t done anything! For somebody claiming he’s got dozens of companies knocking on his door each day it’s rather odd. It’s a step in the right direction, let’s see what happens ex-dividend. Good luck
I do have a small interest. Nothing like I held in the past.
Ha ha. i missed it. midas is back. you still holding or sold as it is a while since you posted.
New account. Similar name. First invested in FFWD / Seed here 9 years or so back
Interesting first post. lol.
Agree OBW. For somebody new to Seed it looks amazing. A dividend of near 50% of the share price. There are investors saying they must be making good returns to be paying such huge dividends. The value of the fund is lower than it was 7 years back, so no gains, only huge losses. Ed has done this to pacify the long term shareholders. An amazing dividend, but what about once it’s paid. The share price has been around 2p for over a year when the NAV is 6 or 7p. History has kept the share price in that range. The NAV or cash position hasn’t changed in the last year, probably dropped a small amount. The NAV will drop following the dividend, what will support the SP then?
