Excellent news that AEW Uk have taken legal action, and won against companies who can but won't pay their rent. Hopefully this will have reverberations throughout the sector.

Excellent news that AEW Uk have taken legal action, and won against companies who can but won't pay their rent. Hopefully this will have reverberations throughout the sector.

Today's announcement is excellent news and should have a positive effect on the whole sector. I believe one of the rogue tenants is Cineworld, will have to do some digging and boycott these companies in the future. After all -
A spokesperson from AEW UK Investment Management Limited said: “It’s our responsibility to our investors to ensure that we pursue unpaid rents on their behalf, where possible.
"When tenants withhold their rent in this way it is our investors who are ultimately losing out, most of these are pension funds – ordinary people saving for their retirement.”
Cineworld declined to comment.

You know Bellows, they ought to stop cartoon characters posting on here. Where have you been all weekend, in the cupboard ?
Yes I agree, I have been here since day 1, I sold out at profit when they announced yet another cheap fundraiser. Now I have hopefully bought back in at a lower price, having used the money to amass dividends elsewhere in the meantime.
I do not give a t@ss what you think or what you say, when you have the guts to use your own name or initials, please carry on. Here is your current standing in the world - "Krusty is cynical, burnt-out, addiction-riddled smoking clown".

That's fine Krusty the clown, I apologise for trying to help Bobsdad.
You lose out, no skin off my nose or anyone else's for that matter. If you want the shares that's the only way to get them, if you don't blame Gore Street and the idiots who didn't vote to stop them ignoring their loyal investors.
All the more for me !

Current problems with the PB App are being caused by certain banks blocking payments without verification by whatever means the bank demands.
I used the PB app for Jarvis last week, and had lots of failed but pending transactions, but in my case no money was taken. The problem was that my bank made me confirm the payment in their App, and switching to that made the transaction fail in the PB app. As it was evening by now, I clicked "Contact us" on the App "pending transaction" and described the problem and they phoned me back at 7.30pm (they are happy to e.mail if you ask).
As an alternative to paying via the App they sent me a link from World Pay which I used to pay, and I then received the e.mail from PB confirming my subscription.
They also e.mailed me to say the App would be corrected yesterday, and I was so impressed with their helpfulness, I decided to take part in Gore Street as well. As I had sold all my ISA holding, I was happy they would only be going in my share dealing account. Again, I had two failed transactions. PB offered the alternate way to pay, but I tried a third time and it went through.
Personally I never thought I would use PB, but I found them very helpful and professional - much more so than any broker I have used.

Thank you cacher, you have a great understanding of these things.

I notice the Ex-Divi date is 4 weeks later than last year, and in fact is also later than the first ex-divi of this financial year.
Anyone any thoughts on this ? Moving divi dates is often timed to coincide with a placing, but I can't see that being the case as they would want to get the large dividend out of the way first.

Amazing. I love companies who show they care about their shareholders.

there he goes again xxx

You are profiting from other people's misery. Disgusting. Hope you are stuck with worthless shares.

Personally, I rake in the dividends and reinvest it a couple of times a month in whatever needs a top up. If I take profits, I tend to also take a smaller loss elsewhere, which stops me amassing losses.
As for Merchants Trust, I can see a fall coming after the next dividend. It has been very up and down over the years.
I first bought in there April 2019 at 510p. Four months later I topped up at 442p, January 2020 I topped up at 561p, then 440p and 339p as Covid struck. All that adds up to a small profit at the moment. If I had a large profit I would probably sell half and start topping up again in a while.
It's good to actually have a conversation with fellow investors without everyone falling out !

Don't believe anyone who says the High Street is dead!

Interesting conversation. Having lost a fortune on dodgy AIM oil/mining stocks, mainly due to believing a snake oil salesman and his many followers, I have rebuilt my portfolio and am currently in 68 quarterly dividend companies and IT's, out of 100 or so I identified. My portfolio has never looked as good, I find it a fascinating hobby tracking the dividend dates and making small adjustments to maximise the dividends. Like zac says, the whole key to great yields is getting in at the right time. I dumped quite a few companies last March when the stopped dividends. HSBC, XPP, British Land, Land Securities, Emperic, GCP Digs etc. With this money I topped up or invested in a few companies I wasn't in at the time, and all these are now paying a 10 percent plus yield (because I invested at the bottom) and they are all up 50 to 100 percent.
NRR is the only company I have stuck with that isn't paying a dividend at the moment. I made this choice because I believe NRR is one of a few companies who do care about their investors as well as their investments. I just wish I had topped up more at the lows because NRR is my biggest loser at the moment.
I never thought investing in dividend paying shares would be as interesting as the AIM companies. How wrong I was. I choose to only invest in the quarterly payers because they keep my interest so much better. There is always something happening. Having a wide ranging portfolio means there are always a few well in profit and a few way down.
The only downside I see is that there are a growing number of traders playing the quarterly dividends. It's easy in a rising market but impossible in a falling one.

...what this guy has to say. He has opinions on everything. Unfortunately, I don't care enough to unblock him.

HaHa. Could you pop over to REI Mike and ask the guy on there why he spends years of his life running down a company he isn't invested in ?

on my watch list today. Very strange why people would buy today and not yesterday.

Received notification of full allocation.
I presume that the measures being taken with selling the treasury shares and the capital reduction are to provide a nest egg for future dividends. What was a brilliant yield for those who have been here long-term isn't quite as good for investors getting in now.

Just had a phone call from PB, they are aware of the App verification problems and are sorting that out. I'm quite impressed by their attitude.
