the only reason i can think this share is going down is all the hype over the budget and extra tax on vapes ?. when one thinks the uk market is only a fraction of the world market and that proper ***s are still imb main business it still does not make any sense and bat has not been hit as hard as imb. mind you i have held shares for 20 years that have fallen on good results and for no logical reason other than shorting which is why i never understand why that speculative practice is even allowed on the uk markets ?i do think its quite funny also how the torys announced they were going to follow the virtuous ex nz prime minsters wok action to raise the legal smoking age which was going to be impossible to enforce. now the nz people have had the chance to tell their new gov where to stick the un workable wok idea and its all being dropped . thatcher had many many faults but she must be turning in her grave looking at the 21st century nanny hand outs for nothing tory state .
From my experience any FTSE shares held in person on good old fashioned paper certificates has always paid direct into my Bank account on the divi payment date no problem ! . Any shares I have held like LGEN,RIO IMB etc held on platforms like Halifax share dealing always take up to 3 working days to pay you out into your bank account. I believe its written in their rules, in a nut shell they always make money out of your dividends by investing it short term for themselves just like banks do with your cash.If you want a quick pay out always hold paper share certificates , if you want to deal constantly with low dealing fees and quick buys and sells then places like Halifax share dealing are good places to be, although you have to be very very patient waiting for your dividends ..
This is a big fall and surprising considering how close we are to ex dividend on the 17th, normally goes other way .All my fault for topping up sorry guys. Dollar is a factor all my Dollar divi stocks like GSK etc have tumbled but as usual shares seem to tumble big time on not a lot of bad or related news and only trickle up on good news.We will prob get hit again on ex divi.Well at least the divi here is worth having .
Am I the only one that tired of the constant negative influence the USA has on GSK and other UK companies ..Whether its drug reviews , drug controls/bans , legal action by fire chasing US lawyers etc etc etc GSK is constantly on the back foot and being held back .I have never thought there ever was a special relationship with the USA ! its America first always in Pharma and any other industry UK companies are inolved in with the USA.Its about time the UK stands up to the USA , look at Covid , look at how BP got taken to the cleaners big time years ago and it s the same with the tabacco industry america first always they support the US industries we let ours flounder and get sued by no win no fee lawyers out for a fast Buck and our SP sufferes big time. . Have a good weekend everyone im off out .
Good update mind you its like GSK any good news makes little change anything bad the share drops like a brick !.
Mind you I do think Pfizer from today can offload shares so the dip is no surprise.
Is today not the day Pfizer can start offloading their share in Haleon ?.If she stays in positive territory that would be good news going forward .Some indication re dividends would be nice also .
Topped up again she has legs this share , hopefully she wont crash now ive bought more, was reading the wok green brigade and fund mgrs have lost faith in wok green stocks and funds and are turning to sin stocks again to get some profit and dividends.Fingers crossed Hammond does not screw things up for share holders in budget.
I have just topped up £10k on assumption of ex divi on 17th November.
Well today is the day we have all been looking forward to or fearing ?.I am trying to work out from now on, what my profit/loss in either companies is going forward .Has anyone got a figure what the Haleon company split was worth in terms of the previous whole GSK company ?.For instance are my new Haleon shares worth say 40% of the old company pre split or only 30% of the old company etc.Just wondered if there was ever a percentage figure mentioned?
It is corrupt and immoral when a nation allows anybody to buy and wave around fire arms and automatic assault rifles capable of killing 100's of children and citizens a minute yet they get all moral about the fags and the amount of nicotine the same gun carrying person is allowed for his and others health. WTF is going on in the world ?
Yes Richtips your dad did well, I woz there as Max Boyce used to say , I waited until 30p to buy I was not sure if TW and a lot of other shares as well were going to the wall ? I loaded up on Lloyds as well but that share has been a big disappointment & Government controlled share in my opinion since the Banking crisis with massive interference to pay out on PPI & with holding dividends,That is my biggest plus about LGEN as they told I believe HMG too get stuffed and paid out like the US Banks and US Oilers during covid.
Well velindre any price where you make a profit can be a good price , and I am sure you realise this is a better bet in terms of decent dividends after the shell divi got more than halved in 2020.You wont make big increases in share price value here though in my opinion but she looks AT THE MOMENT a safe divi earner .I would dip in anywhere between 230-260 but if Covid2 comes along a far lower price may be possible who knows ? I remember TW one of the builders at 3p once during the banking crisis etc .If you find a crystal ball let me know please.
Not the greatest fan of the split in the first place but if it is what it is .My main question is why have they taken so long and put share holders and the SP itself thru so much pain in getting on with it the over hang has been years in all the talk.The only plus was the continuing 80p divi, I still fail to see why the new 55p divi in total makes it such a good idea in the Dames eyes ? or will all the board be even bigger Millionaires after this ?
I do think TW provides a good buying opportunity now , despite the Special Dividend probably being lost or forgotten about for a while its still a good divi at these prices.My biggest concern here is not the rather meagre interest rate rises which I do honestly think are being over catastrophized by the media for political reasons, but really Gove and his possible plans to tax etc builders like , Oilers and banks in the past to fund the economy free of charge for HMG so they look good in the eyes of the media..
I think you will find it was the 1973 oil crisis when the Middle East started to flex its muscles on oil prices and its been doing so ever since. Anyway everyone should have a wok in the house or garden daughter in law swears by it, and the good news is LGEN is bouncing back up in its range once more .Have a good week everyone .
I assume SD235 you are still deep in with the oilers ? have as good day at least the sun is shinning .
Started to drip feed in my old oilers money now, hopefully the recent big sell off on the FTSE will be considered over done ? , kept half my war chest in reserve in case im wrong as hind site is always a perfect science..
We need minimum 5% interest rates to get inflation down Now ! the BOE Gov is a discrace to his office. BTW those lucky enough (Not Me) to work for banks in 80's 90's etc then got special low mortgage rates around 5% .They were well chuffed and felt very lucky wonder what the headlines will make of 5% interest rates now !, there is an old well known saying which is not used now on Wok news and its quite simple, the world DOES NOT owe you a living !!! or the latest I-phone or BMW come to that.Have a good weekend everyone and hopefully higher rates will move this share price up ! it was far higher when we had no dividends and the Gov still owning shares .
I am showing my age here but I remember 15% interest rates and the then Tory chancellor saying if it aint working it aint working and unemployemnt is the price worth paying. Back then it seemed if you took out a mortgage or loan you were considered an adult and if times got hard you tightened your belt and cut back as required as sh*t happens in life. .Back then we did not have constant headlines about cost of living crisis every day brain washing people like now making out its all the gov fault not their poor budgeting..Now it seems if anything effects peoples holidays, mortgages or irresponsible loans etc etc they have taken out to buy their Suv Mercs and BMW's which they dont NEED its all the governments fault not theirs and somebody else must help them. What happened to personal responsibility ?.My first flat had an old black and white TV as the licence was cheaper no land line phone no microwave , video recorders etc etc etc & second hand furniture.Point was if I could not pay cash for it I could not afford it and just made do.Now its buy now and blame everybody and anybody else when you cant pay it off.I do wonder at the double standards recently on the news , you have Catastrophic 0.25% interest rate rise causing catastrophic cost of living crisis !!! and then the next news item is thousands of holiday makers moaning about cancelled flights. If they were skint they would not be going on holiday !!! lets be honest the cost of thir airport parking , I-phones and sky subscription is far hight than any .25% interest rate rise will ver be its a joke. In a nut shell if you cant afford it outright dont bloody buy it and consider yourselves lucky interest rates are only 1.25% I would of killed for that back in the 1980/90's.
Well at least the yank oilers continue to pay full dividends and continued to pay full divis during covid to their share holders that is the rub with BP and shell and there major very big weakness going forward. .I accept Biden is now rumoured to be looking at clobbering US Oilers but I think he will want to clobber BP and Shell as well in the US market so BP and Shell will be on the ropes .I dont want to dwell on oilers but their days in my humble opinion are over as good divi payers for as long as Wok issues are in control at board level .Why would anybody invest say £10k now and only get half the dividends he would of got at Dec 2019 ? he wont he will go elsewhere end of . .Does not matter what the oil price is now does not matter how much profit BP and shell make now or the future .If the CEO's wont or are not allowed to by HMG and the wok media to pay out historic dividend levels investors will think twice and sell. They want a solid decent income not warm feelings about green issues and its the same with LGEN investors here . Im guessing we all want a decent dividend and would not be very happy if they halved the divi over night to fund suddenly a HMG Green agenda ?..Anyway much more importantly do we think LGEN will bounce up on Monday ?.
