Well said Jangles. What gets to me is when someone starts name calling the people who are selling. Fools seems to be the latest, but it usually decends into various insect species after a while. Non of these people knows how many shares the sellers have, how much they may have added along the way averaging down over many years. It was the same on JOG recently. Absolute cert - HA ! Nothing makes me more likely to sell a few more than the armchair experts.

I guess that the directors buying is their reply to the article.

I seem to recall that when I was originally looking at AEW UK and then AEW LL I did come across a warning that two of the directors had previously had problems with the FCA, which was a bit worrying, and setting up LL just seemed to be a way of giving all involved an extra income. I think they were frustrated at not getting the investment amount the wanted in LL, and I wondered if the Meridian problem was a knee-jerk reaction to these frustrations. Sacking AEW UK, when it is virtually the same company, looked as if it may be a way forward to combining the companies without it looking too dodgy.
Whether there have been any bids for LL as a whole or in part, we will just have to wait and see. I have often thought that most of the profits that these REITs make is down to dealings between each other. The outcome will probably be something like what happened with PHP and MedicX. I was getting a better dividend from MedicX, so didn't want to double my investment in PHP - but selling MedicX gave me money to put elsewhere. I love doing small tweaks to maximise dividends and take small profits along the way. Initially, after becoming frustrated with what goes on in the AIM, I struggled with the "sheer boredom" of investing in dividend stocks, but sticking with quarterly payers means there is always something happening. It's like the Circle of Life.

Well we all read the RNS on 10th April (reminder below), which was worrying of course, Not a lot said since then, but Meridian Metals problems were resolved, so there isn't really an ongoing problem. I've added since because I was confident that we would be continuing, and they have really turned AEW Uk round. But, on the minus side, it is nearly two months now since the announcement, so something must be due, They didn't get the IPO away as they wanted, so the company isn't the size it should be. Personally I expected that we would be AEW LL would continue as it is, or it would be merged with AEW Uk, or sold off to to another established REIT. A few of them have fund raisers going on - LXI for example. A surprise that we did get a dividend on time.
Cenkos are playing with fire if the are shorting and advising the company at the same time, but I woudn't put it past them. Personally, I am in 72 companies paying quarterly dividends. I don't worry too much about profit and loss, I just keep those dividends coming in. Some are way down, others grow and grow.
There are a lot of big investors, as we see from the daily RNS's - I am sure they are keeping a closer eye on the company than we are able.

10 April 2019 - In view of the sub-scale size of the Group, its performance since IPO, and the recent news in respect of Meridian Metal Trading Limited, the Board is reviewing the options for the future of AEWL.
The Board will seek to achieve value for shareholders either by expanding the Group's equity and asset base to achieve full dividend cover, considering offers from interested parties, or by selling the Group's portfolio and returning funds to shareholders.
To ensure that all options can be considered, the Board has today served protective notice of termination of the investment management agreement with AEW UK Investment Management LLP (which will expire on 9th April 2020). Ultimately, after all options have been considered, the Board may decide to continue to pursue the Group's existing strategy with AEW UK Investment Management LLP.

Yes, excellent bit of manipulation there, glad I added a few. What's the betting Oarfish Research gets a job with Stifel Nicolaus Europe Limited.

Recommending HL to anyone is beyond contempt.

Just tried to buy into RBD after following for a while, and found that Lloyds/Halifax/Iweb brokers "No longer allow investment in this company". I have come across this with a few investment trusts that are marked for Professional Investors, but never an AIM company.

Personally I think every company will be affected if Labour regain office. I speak as someone who should be a labour supporter, but currently I wouldn't trust them with the office tea budget. I would think share prices will generally be down 40 percent minimum on the day labour come to power. As for TRIG, with wind, solar and battery assets, they should be the type of company that any Government would support. There is a mass protest vote towards climate change controls, and politicians seem to be listening. Personally I just invest to give me enough dividends to live on, and I won't be getting worried about TRIG being affected. I would have been out of all my investments long ago if I was.

Well done antharry - you've just caused a price monitoring extension. I'm sure you've made a great decision.

One in, one out, exact same number of shares, and neither company's website give much away about their activities.

It all must be down to the amount of applications each broker gets. I got 66 per cent excess shares with I-web.
Can I have the rest of my cash back now please ?

Not on me, sorry, out and about. Just Google Daily or Sunday Mail, look at the headings near the top, click on MONEY and the article will be somewhere down that page.

People buying (or MM increasing price) because of a Mail on Sunday article which didn't warn about withholding tax.
Look at Mail Money section for article.

yes... APF is one of my best investments, just hold and let the dividends roll in.

In most cases with shares in an ISA, the broker submits a form before the dividend is paid, and then receives the full dividend and credits it in one go. If the broker neglects to do this or something goes wrong, then it should take 3 to 4 weeks. When this happens I usually have to remind my broker or it drags on for months.

...and then they hang on to the extra money you paid for as long as possible.

Now that is a right old kick in the teeth for MXF shareholders.The last dividend - and a full three months - and it is dropped from 1.51p to 0.95p.
PHP were saying that MXF investors would benefit from an extra dividend - not that it would be a reduced dividend.

Just the final dividend, back to the usual for the rest of the year unfortunately.

Have a look at AEW UK if you haven't already, over 8 percent yield and director buying heavily. I'm in both.WHR and AEW UK, as well as the up and coming AEW LL.
