Always useful to have a reminder of how the ex-dividend date works:
"If an investor purchases shares on or after the ex-dividend date, they will not be entitled to a dividend payment."
As noted, expect extreme share price volatility over the transitional period, often more so than the actual value of the dividend payment.

If so M, SBTX need to correct their own website:

Indeed, now 5 in the morning and up for work but just thinking along the same lines and a similar age to you.
During the 90s, some major ups and downs investing but got to the end of the decade relatively unscathed. Since then, the main London market has done nothing but trade sideways (for what is now the best part of a quarter of a century). In the meantime, the housing market has gone into orbit (fuelled by ultra low interest rates and 20 million migrants).
Casino AIM has been an unmitigated disaster. Also, well under water with OPTI plus big loss of opportunity income if I'd stuck to dividend paying stocks.
2017 in general seemed like very poor year to invest.

I was a TW podcast subscriber for while and agree that his prediction of "dogs" was always better than his identification of "winners".
In the end though, I just concluded that identifying dogs on AIM wasn't a particularly hard thing to do (as that's what most of them are or eventually will be).
Indeed, AIM is just a disastrous money-pit for most investors.
TW himself, and his general comments on life and stuff, I always found quite engaging and amusing.
LUANDA, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Provisional results from vote counting in Angola's general election indicate the ruling party MPLA, which has been in power for nearly five decades, holds a strong lead over the main opposition party, the National Electoral Commission (CNE) said on Thursday.
With 33% of the votes counted, CNE said the first provisional results showed the MPLA, led since 2017 by President Joao Lourenço, who is seeking a second five-year term, garnered 60.65% of the vote, and UNITA got 33.85%.

Reg, the information I quoted is freely available on the Angolan elections Wikipedia entry.
I’ve been a long term AET/SEY holder, nearly 20 years.
Do you think the outcome of the election and a possible regime rage will make no difference, the deal isn’t signed yet?
I shop in a range of supermarkets regularly and have seen no evidence of beer sales booming.
Chester, my home city, a major tourist destination, is pretty dead most nights of the week. Even Saturday night's customer levels are a fraction of pre-Covid numbers.
Folk are undoubtably feeling the pinch and will continue to do so.
