Joker did you sell yours on a brokers view?

Joker. Maybe matey but my point is its way above £18 brokers valuenow...you and both know Analysts are ridiculous with their quotes thats all im saying will they still be quoting £18 for Greggs when the SP is,say£23 or £24 ?

All buys after market

US Futures are going up

People are going to start going back to work this big pretence that everyone is going to work from home is preposterous how can brickies..plumbers .glazers..electricians ..the list is long....work from home ?? Thing are going to get better over the next 6 months furlough ending in March too

Correct me if I'm wrong isn't £21.48 higher than your analysts £18 ? Or is my maths way off? £3.48 higher ....

Ill say it Once again analysts have their own agenda or maybe paid agenda these analysts mostly work at investing companies trying to drive prices up or down..how many of these analysts actually give you a real target? Take a goodvlook at other companies and their SPs and where analysts have them .. they are usually way over or way under their guidelines and you say analysts say £18 and gregss SP is £21.48 these analysts once again ive shat em

We're off

2020 cost me a lot of money in glencore dividends

Maybe institutions will buy in thatll shift the SP

Tbe way dividends have been stopped or reduced glencore looks buy made institutions will buy it given BP is a lost cause

Gsk could tick up tomorrow as MMs push it up so those who ticked dividend reinvest will pay a higher price then get dropped again ..let's see if that pans out ..

July 2019 was £24.54 January 2020 above £24 so going off that and disregard analysts who only serve their own aims...so greggs in a perfect world with all their new outlets opening up increasing dividend cash positive and a special dividend payed on all the extra cash they made £27 -£30 would of come easily by now now we will have to wait a 6 months pandemic we'll under control and lock down ended

When greggs was running properly pre covid it paid a dividend and a special it announced it was opening g up more shops and from what I've seen its doing exactly that in a pandemic! so if the virus hadn't of caused this chaos and the fact gregss was well above £24 adding £3 to the SP would of been a matter of course analysts ive shat em

A trader

And rio rewards its shate holders ...I think glencore could of done a lot better with the dividend too greedy bastaards they will always have debt they are abraded and need to borrow money to buy big trades while they sell them on

Rio Tinto, the world’s biggest producer of iron ore, has rewarded investors with the biggest dividend in its history after what its new chief executive described as a “year of extremes”.

The Anglo-Australian miner was one of the biggest beneficiaries of China’s rapid recovery from the pandemic, allowing it to hand $9bn of cash back to shareholders, including a record final dividend of $6.5bn declared on Wednesday.

Rio’s most important commodity — the steelmaking ingredient iron ore — surged almost 85 per cent in 2020 to a nine-year high of more than $175 a tonne on the back of robust demand from China’s vast steel industry.

At the same time, its reputation as one of the best operators in the industry was shredded when it destroyed a sacred Aboriginal site in May to make way for a mine expansion in Western Australia, home to its hugely profitable iron ore business.

The blasts at Juukan Gorge cost Rio’s former chief executive Jean-Sébastien Jacques and two senior lieutenants their jobs after investors and indigenous groups demanded accountability for the incident.

Jakob Stausholm, previously Rio’s finance head, was named chief executive shortly before Christmas. He has made restoring trust with indigenous groups and other stakeholders a priority.

Speaking from Perth after the publication of Rio’s best annual results in almost a decade, Stausholm said the Juukan Gorge blasts were a “dark day for Rio” and had caused considerable damage to its relationship with the Puutu ****i Kurrama and Pinikura people, the traditional owners of the site. 

“Earlier this week I visited Juukan Gorge?.?.?. and I personally expressed my deep regret for the damage caused,” Stausholm said. “It was a humbling experience and had a profound impact on me.”

Stausholm was speaking after Rio said underlying earnings — the figure tracked by analysts — rose 20 per cent to $12.4bn in the year to December on revenue of $44.6bn. Net debt fell to $664m from $
