I can really see Duke being the backbone of my ISA in future years. I was a long way down after Covid hit, but those enforced Scrip dividends really helped, especially as I topped up after each one. Only regret is that I stopped adding at my self imposed limit.

It's not boring K, it's just one of those unanswerable questions, unless someone actually asks SUPR to explain and HL's figures and actually gets a decent reply. Some companies are very good at communicating, others just ignore small investors.

"Await the RNS as I do not trust rumours on twitter"

That made me smile @Heid

Life's too short (smiley face).
Unless anyone can see these charges actually taken out of their cash account, I am convinced that it all refers to charges that the assets of the trust pay out in the daily management and running of the trust.
Of course, the trust is declining in value by these charges so everyone is right to be wary of them, but there are costs involved in running every company of course. The problem now being that some companies, mainly I.T.'s and Reits have to warn of these costs in advance. Probably need to delve into annual reports to get the figures, but as I say, life is too short. Keep collecting the dividends and hope the share price doesn't fall too much.

I would send those figures to SUPR and ask them to comment.

Just had a small top up expecting to pay 320p - actually paid 314.95p

Interesting day. I sold out this morning at 361p and bought a smaller amount back on the dividend declaration. Not bragging in any way, purely luck. Used the cash to top up RM Infra Inc and Next Energy SF.

What I meant to say is that the incentive to hold at the moment is the unanswered question... what is going on, why is the price still rising after the special dividend ? Something is driving this.

Totally with you on that @Alpharius While JIM has been a great investment, by paying the special dividend in one go, it has made itself less attractive to dividend investors. Many of the old favourite quarterly payers have risen in price and not increased dividends, so are now off the radar. I've been selling Assura, Tritax BB, London Met etc because they are now paying below 4 percent. Plenty of bigger dividends out there, but a little riskier.
On the other hand, most of us aren't able to slice 10 percent off. It's all or nothing.... Maybe a half slice ?

and there we have the first to admit it. Don't actually blame you at all @Alpharius. I was tempted, if I could have got another few pence..... But glad I am still in at the end of the day. Last time I sold out of JIM I got back in almost immediately at a similar price, and already I am way up again. Will eventually lead to my penthouse by the sea, either buying with the profits or renting with the dividends.

Yawn !!!
It just won't go away, will it. Must do all your tiny minds in.

I liken the scenario to Gore Street, and several others in the green energy categories. Always raising money to grow the company, because there will always be a thirst for new investments. I expect two to three years of raising funds at a discount. Eventually we will get where they want the company to be. I just hope they are able to increase the share price before they continue raising funds.

I-web through now.

yes, same here, got one that was due yesterday, but not JIM, which is usually paid on the day.

This is just crazy, and after the special dividend. Someone seems to be buying in 2000's 3000's and 4000's. Not sure why someone made three sales of 2000 - I'm sure they would have taken them all in one go.
Who's going to crack first and sell ?

Afraid I have to agree with @eccles04 - I have a very low pain threshold when someone starts waffling. Much prefer the written word where I can skim through.

Always a pleasure (and a change) to have a conversation on LSE that doesn't attract abuse.
I built up to 10,000. mostly 2,000 at a time. Have always thought there are plans we don't know about yet. Managed to get my average down to 73p thanks to Covid.

I had a lot of gold coins once, always bought the best, proof, boxed sets. When it came to selling them, coin dealers shook their heads and said "there's no market for them, I'll give you half what you paid". Eventually took them to a pawnbroker who said "I'll buy them but they'll get melted down, it will be such a shame". Then he offered me double what I paid. Snatched his hand off, and invested it all in David Lenigas companies. Ooops !

Afraid I have never traded this share, only ever bought and added. One of just a few that I never consider selling. I don't think I have ever not been able to buy, and the spread always seems fairly tight. Then again, you may be trying to buy a lot more than me.

Funnily enough.... I was in my local Halifax branch on Saturday sorting out my late mother's finances. I had found £26 in old banknotes, including two ten shilling notes. (yes I looked on e.bay and it's not worth the effort).
I had four staff, including the manager, trying to fathom out what shillings were. Non of them could understand that they just needed to put one pound down on the computer for the two notes. Comments included "so a shilling is a pound", "so they are ten shilling pound notes" and "what symbol on the keyboard is shillings ?". Well, I managed to pay £25 in, and a young lady printed me some photos out to explain what shillings were, which I already knew. Heaven knows what they will make of the suitcase full of old pennies I found.
