Wolf.....it's Captain Mainwaring actually
Pig
Throne,
Lgen pay their divi 1/3(interim) & 2/3(final) if i remember. This can sometimes make for a run up in the sp as the larger final comes into view
Pig
Share price seems to be stuck around the 1,550 mark; give or take 15p either way.
Am still hopefull of a buy back in price at circ£15, but is so frustrating.
Of course, if i was to buy some then that would guarantee a drop into the sub £15's.....lol
Piggy
Have you looked at investing.com Throne?
Pig
Sold out the BHP holding in Mrs Pig's ISA today @ 2,069. Bought a few for her on the huge drop after the last divi.
Her average was 1,912. So roughly an 8.4% return over 10 weeks. Happy with that.
Still got my core holding but wanted another drop off to the 1,850 area to top up, but don't see that now
.....but you never know
Pig
SP, to me, shows little sign of wanting to return to the 440 level. 415 at the moment.
Decided to hold off for now rather than get in too early.
Maybe it will hold 400 & bounce off it. 359 most recent low. Would probably go at 380, if it gets there.
Watch n wait
Pig
Pig's still holding off here fellow divi dodgers. 1,537 as i type. Day low, so far, of 1,532.
So another little push to the £15 mark. Next XD in Fed '22, so no hurry.
Same with Bats for me. Divi dodged day before XD @ 2,730. So missed the 53p. Bought 1/3 back @ 2,552 & another 1/3 @ 2,550. Waiting for sub £25 for final third. Next XD there 23 Dec.
good luck all
Pig
I sold out here @ 445.52 on 26 Oct. The rise was so quick from that 359 bottom i thought a retrace was possible & wanted to lock in some good capital gain in my ISA.
I will be watching to buy back as i think the market as a whole will overreact to this mutant Covid news.
Have the same £12k to buy back & have decided to make purchases in two halves; so £6k a go.
The question is, asever, at what level to buy in.
Same story with my recently sold BP & IMB. Plus any drop & want to top up my current holdings in BATS & BHP.
Some good buying oppertunities may be dropping into our hands over the coming week
Will be watching n waiting; timing is everything. Good luck all......
Pig
thunder,
re Vale. Very interested in them also. Done lots of research. Have concluded a buyin price of $11 would be a good start point with 1/3 of money allocated. Looking at £15k, so £5k @ $11 seems reasonable.
Expecting a market dip this week coming on back of mutant Covid fears. Average with BHP 1,920p. Intend to top up if we drop to 1,800/1,850 region. One more buy of £5k will bring me up to where i'd like to be.
BP will be looking good also if drop continues sub 290p.
Good weekend
Piggy
"divi dodgers", like that phrase risking....lol
My open positions at the moment are (as a % of portfolio).... BHP (21%), BATS (23%), Capita (25%), Coinbase (1%) & the rest is in Cine. ISA fund total is £143k. 64% Cash.
Over last 2/3 months sold off all positions in oil n gas (RDSB & BP), HSBC, LGEN & now IMB.
Personally see this mutant Covid problem hitting the market(s) next week & possibly beyond. First case in UK & media will be all over it. Will be watching IMB, of course, & also....
BP @ sub 290p, HSBC @ 370/350p, LGEN @ 250p, more Bats @ sub £25, Vale(mining) @ sub $11, more BHP @ 1800/1850....
Vale & BHP are really a bet on the recovery of China, as they take a huge proportion of their commodity.
Bats go XD on 23 Dec for the usual 53p. Dropped 170p+ last time. Will be loading up there with a view to 'divi dodging'.
BT are possibly worth keeping an eye on too. They cancelled their divi as soon as Covid struck. But are due to go XD again on 30 Dec, but it's only 2.31p.
So next week, for me, it's a watch n wait situation
Good weekend all
Piggy
Chance we may revisit the 360p low of a month or so back??
Pig
Held off buying back today. 3 months until next 48p. Lots of bad news about at the moment.
A tad over £15, then maybe.
Jolly pleased i got rid of my RDSB & BP a month or so back; really getting hammered today. Mining & fags doing ok compared to that sector. Sold my HSBC too, which are well down.
P/f 64% cash, so a proper rout & i'm ready...lol
Good weekend all
Pig
Possible F4A,
Whenever i've bought back in on various shares, after XD, it has always been days/weeks later; the same day is too early IMO.
Just 12 trading days ago we were @ 1,530 (9 Nov) Granted since then we have had good Full Year results, which should give the price a boost. But oddly this doesn't always happen. Recent Bats & Bhp; great results, but sp fell out of bed!
The next XD, again for 48p, will be mid Feb'22.
So plenty of time to watch & wait. I use investing.com & have set alerts @ 1,575 & 1,550. If i get alerted, then i'll begin taking an interest again
Just my take on the situation....
Pig
Fags are having a good day today jing. Bat up 18p
Just be patient & wait for a 'dog day'.
Mining sector does the same thing. Steaming ahead one day & dragging the FTSE down another.
I have great respect for those who buy & hold for the long term dividend growth. To build up a retirement portfolio over the next 20 years.
But at my age 'long term' is for much younger people.
lol...Pig
Don't think you need to sit with your finger on the buy button.
My Bats went XD on 30 Sept at circ 2,735 but the sp didn't 'bottom' until 6 Oct @ 2,530
Watch n wait situation for me
Pig
Not trying to out smart the market here Hot. Bought in in Feb/Mar when price was low with some spare ISA money.
@1,639 i took almost a 20% return. Am more than happy with that.
Should the sp drop to £15 i might buy back. If it doesn't then that's good by me & for those who want to tie their money up long term. With a 8/9% yield you can't go wrong, hopefully.
I was getting 1.45% in my cash ISA, so 20% over 9 months is ok i think
Pig
5532, (sorry off topic)
I sold my Bats day before last XD for 2,731
The divi was the usual 53p
I bought them back day's/week later at 2,552.....a 179p drop
Looking to do the same on run up to next Bats XD on 23 Dec
