Very clever ploy to make the traders think before they sell on ex-dividend day ?
and you can't go much deeper than that. Just a £1m or so. Still not sure where they are getting these shares at 28p from ?
I predict a dark, shadowy figure appearing out of the fog. Someone new, yet mystical, who will tell all investors what a dodgy company this is, and how the world will end with homelessness and famine.
Me, well I must be a gambler, because I just doubled up. Hopefully those with doubts will quit asap and not come back to share their doom and gloom.
Thanks @K - lets hope for some good news on TMIP over the next few weeks.
Thanks for the reply @K - missed it until today. Well it was positive action for a day, we need more though.
OK, I am well down here, but the dividends almost make up for that. I don't need the money for another year at least, and we still have the assets as you say, if the amazing Mr. Bassi ever decides to sell up.
You hopefully realise that my past comments here are often tongue in cheek, in reply to someone who's name I can't even remember (blocked). An intelligent man, but with an admitted personal grudge against this company.
Almost everything is in negative territory at the moment. Today's announcements are better than expected, except for the facts I took profits from a few wind farm shares which are now up, and of course the cuts to dividend tax thresholds. But I am not too far off having everything in ISA's. All the best my friend.
Some, including me, may have missed that the combination of Honeycomb and Pollen Street was to result in a dividend cut.
Taken from Quoted Data - "Our thinking on this has changed. First, and please accept our apologies, we missed the dividend cut – dividends will go from 80p to 63p in 2022 and 64p in 2023. We now think that dissenting shareholders should be offered an exit opportunity"
Strange. The brilliant Mr Bassi takes immediate action, and no one has anything to say.?
A lesson in how to really perform a share buy back. ?
Where did he find £2 million shares at way below market price ?
Presumably something was already in the pipeline. More to come ?
To be honest, there isn't actually much of a rise. I've been watching because I am transferring some shares between accounts, and it's been at 161 - 155 all day. Seems to be the multitude of 1 share trades distorting things.
Previous dividend was the final dividend for the year ending 31st March 2022, the new dividend is for the year ending next March. Probably too early in the morning to be thinking of such things Gerry.
Went through this with Iweb (and applies to Halifax/Lloyds) years ago, despite the abuse I got from this message board. Took it as far as Computershare and DEC Investor relations, and the fact is that these brokers (and a few others) cannot be bothered to get certain approval to stop the tax at 15 percent, so just apply 30% and they don't like discussing it, so will do everything they can to fob you off.
Iweb swore to be that they actually pay investors exactly what they get from Computershare, but I don't think that is correct because my new broker (Jarvis) deals with it themselves and stops the 15% off the gross amount they get.
I got compensation from Iweb for the extra 15% they had stopped me, but then had to move my holding to a different broker or accept the 30% tax. They said they would be putting a warning on their website for future investors, but actually they just updated their terms and conditions, so no one ever reads it.
Hope this is of some help, because that's all I ever wanted to do, but certain people took it as an attack on DEC. (whatever !)
It's the same with Halifax/Lloyds/Iweb. It's usually to do with the wording of the KIID, and how the individual broker reads it. I.web infuriated me so many times by letting me buy into a company, and then went I went to add, they would no longer allow me to buy.
If you open an account with Jarvis/XO they will let you take a simple online test to prove you know what you are taking about. Then you are able to deal in whatever you want, and at £5.95 a trade. Best thing I ever did was opening an account there. I still have my old ISA's with Iweb, but anything new now goes to Jarvis/XO.
Well said candidinvestor.
I only invest for dividends and try to take a laid back view of everything. Got rid of most NRR long ago. Quarterly dividend companies used to be so predictable until idiots started trading them and trying to influence others.
No idea what our friend is saying because I blocked him. Takes everything way too serious and way to personal, probably spends every night kicking the dog, I hope he has a dog, because I would worry about his wife.
I wasn't even aware we had spoken, I usually just read and laugh, and move on. I used to be an angry young man like you, I'm sure you'll get over it. Your views are just as valid as everyone else's, absolutely worthless in a world of game playing rampers and derampers. Just learn to chill, you will be so much happier. The guy you attacked wasn't even talking to you.
Well, you certainly took the bait there SD235. Don't lose sleep over it, although I know you will.
Well I've gambled on a big top-up. People forget how much money they have made from good old JIM over the years.
Obviously a lot of people have been "in the know" for some time.
Audentes fortuna iuvat.
Maybe the difference is down to GRID being part of Gresham House, who hold GRID shares in other funds, and also that institutional investors hold more of GRID than GORE ? Just my thoughts. Personally I am way up on GRID, but only because I have bought and held, whereas I have taken profits from GORE because of the constant fund raising, which will probably be coming to GRID very soon. GRID's dividend is very late being announced, maybe they are lining up the dividend dates to match GORE.
