Does the government get a dividend payment on the shares it owns?
Got to admit I don't really understand how government ownership works other than the bank being propped up with cash at the time it needed it.
I was wondering if the gov did receive a div would it offset against selling shares at a loss?
Good ponit rinky, I was interested in the news article I read about LLOY entering the private landlord sector. The article was thin on detail and I don't know how it would pan out, but having a new income stream could be quite a boon for Lloy. In terms of targets I have my eye on pre brexit vote levels so 250 for NWG and 60 (I think) for Lloy.
OB, I get the impression that IAR is just determined to find something wrong.
As they say 16 years without a deal is a long time, but that's 15 years under the old regime and de facto ancient history. I am am more interested in current circumstances.
I do hope Suzy can deliver where G and S were unable to do so.
Shareinthis, see 10:36 Post.
Have to agree. I can understand that high salaries, especially when they see disprortinate to performance.
However I just don't see how suzy's year of being in the driving seat can be seen as anything else other than a big improvement on the performance of G&S.
I accept suzy has been around for some time, but it was G&S who where the directors, it was them who set direction, it was them that determined the strategy and it was them who who where the decision makers. It is the responsibility of being a director, it is not reasonable to expect suzy to have been more effective when she had no directorship of VAL. As such I just can't see scope at this time for any further change at the top unless shareholders start loosing money in the same why they did under G&S.
No it does not mean that. It is just an update on the total number of shares in issue.
The RNS refers to warrents which simply means that the conditions of actioning those warrents has been met and the right to excise those warrents has been made.
EM is very much a double edged sword. One thing to remember is that it's BTC owed by Tesla not EM himself. Its Tesla who have made more money in the last month holding BTC than the whole of last year in car sales. EM 's personal wealth is not at risk.
I was also reading comments about how fiat currencies are subject to political interference e.g. QE. However EM can manipulate BTC with a tweet.
I think it's great that BTC has a champion, but I wish EM would think before he tweets or tweet less often
CTEA monstering it again today. As per yesterday I don't recommend jumping ship, but might be a good punt for those with dry powder. As always do you reaesach before buying and selling. Only a fool trades because of FOMO.
Seems to be some excitement at CTEA today and KDNC today, also at SCLP to a lesser extent.
As ARB is holding its value well it is not time to jump ship as there is good reason to belive that a further uplift on ARB is on the cards, but if you have dry powder there might be additional opportunities. Don't forget to DYOR before acting and don't buy or sell because of FOMO.
As I have mentioned time and again, if you are worried about the cash position you can ask for copies of the last set of accounts. The company will also send the 6month interim if you ask. There is also the fundamentals button above which should give accounts informatiom. The line you are looking for will be on the balance sheet under current assets and will read cash in hand and at bank
You can then compare cash positions btween accounting years.
There are other things you can do to check the position, but I am not getting paid to do other people's homework
I tired calling Halifax yearrdssy, audio messages was large call volumes, tesco dividend and a warning that wait times were 40 minutes. Guess I wasn't the only one angry yesterday. I know tesco are going to be doing a special div, but is it really going to be that awesome?! I suspect whoops sorry is all hakifax can offer. Maybe I'll get lucky and I won't lose my chance to derisk on Sclp.
Funny I was thinking over the weekend that VAL has become reassuringly dull and didn't occupy so much of attention. It had become like SCLP, slowly plodding a long some good day and some bad, always waiting for that deal, but at the same time time funded without the begging bowl constantly being passed around. Looked this morning and SCLP stopped being dull! Another day like that tomorrow and I will break even at SCLP!
Of course someone could just ask for a copy of the last 2 sets of accounts. I suspect VAL will also provide the interim 6 months accounts.
From this you can look at the balance sheet and compare cash position between accounts and the rate of change in the net assets figure which will give an indication as to whether costs are being managed well.
