Well, we have missed out on 4 quarters x 5.4p per share, which is 21.6p, so they certainly owe us. NRR was the only company I kept that suspended dividends, taking a big loss on the ones I sold was the best thing I ever did, as putting that money into other companies at their lowest price has produced a massive yield on those, and a large paper profit should I choose to sell.
When a company like REL/Real Estate Investors can keep paying a dividend and then reward shareholders with a large final dividend, then I am certain NRR can.

Having said that, I have no idea why the rumour was started in the first place. I don't think NRR has ever mentioned it.

Agree with you on Hawthorn. The script dividend that is worrying people is an enforced script - as Duke Royalties did earlier in Covid, ie they retained money in the company by issuing shares instead of cash. No problem with that, it's just that a few brokers refuse to handle the shares, so the shareholders just apparently loss their dividend - which I would have thought was illegal, and easily solved, but it seems to have happened to quite a few.
With Hammersons (who I have no experience of it seems the offered a much higher script dividend OR a low cash dividend, so I assume some brokers just didn't give the script option to shareholders, so the lost out.

Krustys News .... there is no news. Personally I'll wait for the official announcement, which will 1p dividend going ex on around 1st. July.

No I wasn't a shareholder, which is why I believe I was scaled back, which as I said earlier, is fair enough. In the two previous PB offerings I took part in, I was already a shareholder and got 100%. From what I have read on here it looks like shareholders got their full amount.

Allocation through - just over 68 percent, will buy some in the market now to make it worthwhile - and will probably stick to buying in the market in future.

Yes, I had that immediately Ben, I think it just means they have accepted your application.

Not me @Fishboy1000

It puzzles me why some trusts keep quoting cuts in dividends affecting them and threatening dividend cuts themselves. The Covid drop presented some wonderful opportunities to massively increase yields, why didn't IT's take advantage ?
I only usually invest in quarterly dividend paying companies these days. As Covid hit I dumped the companies who suddenly stopped paying dividends or made dramatic cuts, some at a big loss, others at profit, That gave me a pool of money to top up other companies who weren't as affected. Simple result is that I quickly regained any losses and have a host of companies now paying me a 10% yield because I got in at the bottom. My last three quarters dividends have been absolutely amazing, and I have companies where I am 60% in profit. For the first time in 35 years, I feel my portfolio is exactly where I want it.
OK, Investment Trusts have much more stock to sell when there is a fall, but surely they didn't all sit back and do nothing ?

I think @aandi highlights a great point - I used PB twice earlier this month and after a few initial difficulties I was full of praise for them. This time, the PB offer brought my attention to EQT, a company I didn't know about but looks intriguing. (I usually now only invest in quarterly dividend paying companies).
But this time I haven't heard a thing, like several others - and in future I will look to buy via my broker just as PB brings the price down. Ok, stamp duty, £5 trading, but at least I know where I am, don't lose money for a week, and I can get the shares in my ISA. I would buy in tomorrow morning, but I probably still won't have heard from PB, and I have a feeling EQT will rapidly rise, instead of fall further.

Worst that could happen is that Temple_of_Doom profits from trading a company that was a dividend favourite.... and carries on bragging about it, as in DEC.
Closely followed by a near halved dividend, the investments not being what we signed up for, and the fact that the price is already plummeting.
Vote against the proposals, collect the next dividend, sell out, and block ToD before he starts getting clever.

Duke Royalties paid out script dividends over three quarters due to Covid and needing to preserve capital. I-Web (Halifax) credited them without any problem, and I can't recall hearing of any broker who refused.

@email - I do hope that you have made the maximum amount of fuss over Fidelity. If it were me I would probably be sat outside their offices with a placard, and posting on every forum I could find. Is there anything in their terms and conditions ? Afraid I am not knowledgeable enough to help, but I would certainly recommend taking things as far as you possibly can. I left HL because of their pompous, superior attitude, and am with Iweb and XO now, because if all brokers are as bad as each other, you may as well be with the cheapest. Try writing a factual report on Trust Pilot - that has had a few positive results for me when it comes to dealing with companies who think they are too important to see common sense.

Thanks for the comments guys. Pleased I am not alone in my thought. We are showing a 19p drop today, just because of a UT of one share at 347p. Someone trying to spook us ? At the moment I am thinking of reducing my holding after the next ex-dividend date and seeing what happens over the next few months.

Hi IAPR - yes I meant for IPE. I had a holding in both companies IPE in my ISA and CMHY in my trading account, both as long term investments. Once they had gone ex-dividend it made sense to sell one, and it suited to sell CMHY to give me cash add to my ISA, some of which I used to add to IPE.
I only invest in quarterly dividend shares now, and try to keep my running yield above 6 percent, which may be difficult with IPE, PMGR and AIF all announcing lower dividends. However it's a game I enjoy. Although the growing number of quarterly dividend traders annoys me. It almost makes me appreciate the large spreads on some companies.
I expect the volatility of BIPS will reduce soon enough.

Thanks for letting us know, although tbh, I didn't even know you were out.

I saw Dylan ramping the share yesterday, and I thought it was probably a bad omen.
It looks like someone is selling big time, a bit strange just before the ex-divi, but this share has come a long way since the Covid drop. I'll certainly be keeping mine even though I am well in profit.

I have noticed just how many people are now trading quarterly dividend shares and playing "the game". It's making these companies more volatile, which is a pity, because they used to be a much more steady ship. Next ex-dividend date won't be until late August, so some people will be in and out of three or four shares in that time, and back in here for August.
I tried this tactic for a couple of quarters, and both times I lost the same amount in capital as I gained in dividends, so it's the more peaceful life for me.

Big sell off today, on first day of trading the new shares. Reduced dividend from now on of course.
Makes you wonder why they didn't all sell out last week ?

You originally bought in 4 years ago next week because you thought Paul Bassi was about to buy PCA out. That never happened and never will.
Unfortunately some investors are afraid to criticise the companies they are invested in. They would rather ramp the company to tempt other idiots in. You need to start working out yields based on your current investment rather than use what is quoted.
4.88% on LSE, 4.00% in reality, 3.60% on my investment. I was getting 6.32%, and I have averaged down since then, so I am simply saying it is time they upped the dividend.
