Terrible placing price - 128p with just 125p going to PHP. They make it look slightly better by comparing the placing price to the price this morning after they had already destroyed it. But directors are happy as they had the cash to fill their boots.

I was wondering but thought it best not to ask.

.... unlike myself "WHO"

you will have 11,980 abstrade. Unlike myself you still has their full 8m but in a suspended share. Apologies to anyone I ever recommended I-web to. Cheap, but certainly not cheerful.

I'll drink to that. Oh, they already are doing :-)

what I actually meant to say was that after the rubbish I have read on the some of the boards on LSE - the AIM shares that get 100's of comments a day - I just treat these boards as a joke now, and rarely post anything sensible, because I rarely come across anyone sensible on here.

I do bow to your superior knowledge on the subject. I am being honest here. I take a very leisurely view to investing. I enjoy collecting my dividends, and had a nightmare period where I got involved in some AIM exploration companies and lost money because of the gangs that frequent these boards spreading lies. Having made great strides in rebuilding my portfolio, I now have fairly small investments in around 70 quarterly dividend payers. It keeps my interest because it's a constant circle of dividend announcements, ex-dividend dates, and payment dates. I do tweaks here and there to maximise dividends and add in a bit of profit here and there. I took your negative posts to be those of someone trying to reduce the price, for whatever reason (such as the shorters who have been plaguing NRR.
Really I have given up trying to decide which companies are punching against their weight. I mean, Imperial Brands, BAT, Shell, BP - they should all come with a red flag as they are in dying industries, but they keep profiting, keep paying the dividends. I sometimes think that the REITS only actually make money by selling their assets to each other for increasing amounts of cash. One day it will come crashing down.... maybe sooner than expected if Mr. Corbyn gets his way.
BUT, you are correct about short leases and renewals here. Sorry for questioning your judgements.

I agree, there are a few shares in my portfolio that I intended adding to, but as that price rises, the yield becomes unattractive. PHP and London Metric are a couple of examples. At least DIGS intend lifting the dividend.

I don't believe EMH ever had a proper business plan or intention to get to production. All they have done is spent years drilling a few holes and sitting around waiting for a lucrative takeover. When it didn't come, they were snookered. At least BCN had everything in place, except the full funding, but now we are also reliant on others.
I wouldn't say this on the EMH board of course, because "Not Gunna be enough lithium" is the depth of the conversation.

Very true barchid

It's good to talk. We have just made REI one of the "more chat than trades" companies. I'm just happy to get my dividends. Yes, the best companies invariably get taken over by lower yielding rivals unfortunately.

Well, the price will fall by 15p I guess, but better in our pockets. Seems a strange RNS, no explanation.

I assume you are a shorter because you typically talk down companies on these boards, so obviously you aren't invested in them, and you seem too intelligent to spend your days writing comments that no one reads about companies you have no interest in. Surely you are not saying that you are invested here yet talking it down ? Maybe you want to buy more ?
As for my knowledge of what is out of town, the company obviously agrees with me, they have no out of town retail. It's just outside the ring road, so you can get to it and park, or you can walk. Happy days.

I do keep up. It's a short walk from the City Centre. How the hell can that be "out of town". Out of Town means in the countryside, or at least on the outskirts. Why are shorters always so unhappy ? Try getting up with a smile on your face one day, hear the birds singing, keep counting the dividends as they roll in. Heavens knows you're miserable !

Pollen Street Secured Lending ? Sounds like a back street pawnbrokers, complete with back room tooth extraction for non payers.

Today, John Crabtree, Chairman of the Company, bought 45,901 Ordinary Shares at a price of 53.9p per share. Following this transaction Mr Crabtree holds 272,567 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.15 per cent of the Company's issued share capital.

Southgate Retail Park, Derby.
Indoor ? - No.
Out of Town ? - No
Department Stores ? - No.
Bassi Forgotten about it ? - probably not.
NEXT !

Sorry for boring everyone to death. I have had another unexpected response from my contact at DGOC this morning. I cannot think of many other companies that would be so helpful and spend time trying to help a small investor.
I was overlooking the middle-man in these dividend problems - Computershare.
It appears that the problem that is causing some people to pay 30 % and others 15 % withholding tax is simply this - we go to the trouble of filling in our W8-BEN and submitting it to our brokers. They then do one of three things. They either file it away and forget about it, they send a copy off to Computershare, or they fill in their own form for however many shares they hold valid W8BEN's for. The first two options will have no effect because the shares are held in the name of the broker collectively. An individual named W8BEN will mean nothing to Computershare. So if your broker, like mine, can't be bothered doing it right , you pay 30 percent. If they are on the ball, you pay 15 percent.
I think what I posted in the previous post from Lloyds Sharedealing (and their associated companies I-web, Halifax, Bank of Scotland etc) is to cover the fact it is too much bother. Similarly Barclays find it easier to stop anyone buying the shares in the first place. Lesson learned !

Still much confusion over dividends and the withholding tax and W8BEN. Having got to the right department of the parent company of my broker, I am told that they receive my DGOC dividends with the 30 percent tax already taken off, so they have no choice but to pay me in that way. I am going through pages that Google finds me with other brokers and most seem to suggest 15 percent is the correct amount BUT I did find this on Lloyds Share Dealing that shows why I am getting 30 percent stopped. I still can't find out who actually stops the tax though. ----

UK listed shares paying US sourced dividends - Ordinarily if you complete a W-8BEN form you will only pay the 15% Withholding Tax rate instead of 30% on US listed shares paying US sourced dividends. For UK listed shares paying US sourced dividends a 30% Withholding Tax rate is applied even if you have a W-8BEN form in place.

SO... the fact that DGOC is UK listed appears to be the problem ! But no idea why !!

For example, you would receive $70 on a $100 dividend.

Frankie... My broker doesn't do online voting. Got the paperwork today, has to be back by Monday. Looks like Royal Mail have been hanging on to post for a few days. Got it back in post, so may get there.
