The latest Investing Matters Podcast with Jean Roche, Co-Manager of Schroder UK Mid Cap Investment Trust has just been released. Listen here.
Could bring the price crashing - announcement not made until after the bell, so I am sure some people will be trying to buy lower and sell existing holdings. Hopefully not ! Would have thought the company would have commented.
To be fair, that is exactly what these boards should be used for, instead of the constant bickering that goes on. I'm as guilty as the next person, but some boards are so toxic that any questions are totally ignored.
We have a RNS from H/Q - Due to an administrative oversight in publication, the Company announces that on 18 December 2020, Malcolm King, Non Executive Director of the Company acquired 10,000 ordinary shares in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"). Following the above acquisition of shares, Malcolm King holds 50,000 Ordinary Shares in the Company.

That's my sell showing at 12:21pm. Must be a fluke. Used the money to top up Edinburgh trust as it's the yearly big dividend next week, and I will probably see all my holding then as it November before they pay another dividend and I will see where they are then. I am actually just playing with the shares I still hold in my share dealing account. I intended getting back in BP and Shell before their next dividend, but not at current prices.
It's all very weird today - I have noticed they often reduce the price the evening before to reflect it going ex-dividend.
However, I just sold part of my holding to have some cash to top up elsewhere. I was quoted a spread of 176.6 to sell, 179.2 to buy, but my sale price went through at 183.25p. I was so mystified I almost missed it.
We are probably going to get roasted for discussing SDV on here, but just checked and when I first discovered SDV in Sept 2020, I bought in at 127p, and then topped up at 110p a month later. The stuff that dreams are made of.
Still on reduced dividend compared to pre-covid, but even that is almost 6 percent yield at today's share price. If we get back to pre-covid dividends that will be 8% yield.
Must be some announcements due soon regarding new royalty partners. Very happy that I continued to top up.
No need to apologise to them @seen_it my friend.
@Panderman is well known for posting that he has ordered a Chinese takeaway and the fact that it isn't his birthday. @Nalakapala appears to be a cat from Cape Town with his own instagram account.
Moving on.... dividend announcement was 19th June last year, so could be any day now, although that coincided with a fundraising last year. Final Results were 16th. July. Price stable, seems to be some buys showing as sells.
Yes that is SDV. Just shows the power of investing at the right time, on the occasional times we get it right. Just presents the problem of whether to take the profit or keep the yield. I took the profit on Jarvis and BlackRock WM and Energy, but am reluctant to sell SDV or a few others I have a huge yield on.
Ah, so you both want minute by minute posts on the share price.... That can be arranged.
At the third strike, the price is 111p.
Repeat.
Or maybe you want daily news of takeovers and management buyouts ? Tough, we old guys are having a chat. Nowt to see.
and I will say to seen_it - there are no hard feelings on my part. I can see you use these boards for a very different reason to me. Maybe to touch base with fellow investors and some companionship ? I see that you write a lot on the IMB board, although that is one of my shares, I never look at the comments because it is just a lot of people chatting, same as with BP, Shell, BATS. The vast majority of the companies I am invested in get no comments for weeks unless someone has some actual news, so if I see someone has comments, I go straight to it. No reason at all you shouldn't do that and it doesn't even annoy me - the fact is, that with your constant joking, I jumped to the conclusion that you were actually a very young person, not someone to be respected.
Thanks for your message Krusty. What you say is exactly my thinking about the names on this site - just like the trolls on Facebook and Twitter, Long before I came across your name, I already saw everyone on these boards as cartoon characters. So many people are being something they are not. When I was new here I got taken in, many many years ago. Have long got over it and am in a great position now. HAWK was one of the companies that the gangs operated on, I can't even remember the one they moved on to after that, CAZA (?). They had all agreed to sell out at 56.5p if I recall correctly, but the leaders ripped off their own members by selling early and the whole pyramid collapsed. I made most of my money back on UKOG, and got out never to go back. Still hold a few UJO and Reabold, but everything else is a quarterly dividend share now. They keep my interest and I believe it is best to specialise rather than buy anything that looks attractive.
Actually, I didn't say I was older than our friend, I merely asked what made him think I was younger than him. I had decided that with all the goodwill being shown I would be nice to him, but he made another personal attack. I have filtered a few on here - usually the ones who constantly talk down companies they aren't invested in. I haven't filtered anyone in this case because that would give the opportunity to continue posting about me after it is supposedly all sorted.
I got into my current frame of mind because of the DEC board, to be honest. I have spent many hours trying to sort out the withholding tax situation, which is very complex, and those who it doesn't affect shout me down every time I bring it up. Every few months someone affected asks about it - I try to help them, and I get shouted down by those who don't want it publicised. For a company who's motto is "Every cent/penny counts" I think they should help sort the problem. Once I get into an argument, it's difficult to stop, because you come across the same people on different boards. But like I say, I am just a cartoon character, arguing with other people who aren't real.
I quite fancy being Droopy - His catchphrases include "Hello, all you happy people," and "You know what? That makes me mad!"
Each broker is supposed to let the registrar know how many shares it's clients hold in and out of Isa's (ie as a total for combined clients) before the dividend payment date - and then the registrar pays that number of shares with and without tax deducted. Obviously a few brokers don't bother, but that causes them a lot more work in the long run. It then takes 6 to 8 weeks to reclaim the tax. I wouldn't be surprised if some people don't even notice they have paid tax,
