OK so i'm going to try a new strategy for deciding if i should buy FRES the day before they report. I'm going to get their previous report (which usually has the words up and down dotted through it multiple times), print it out and stick it to a wall. Then i'm going to put on a blindfold, spin round several times and throw a dart. IF the dart hits the report i'll look at whether it lands closest to an up or a down and base buying on that. It's gotta work better than assuming a good report will help the price climb! lmao

Does anyone own a business and trade their company's money?
Share centre were recently acquired by ii and my account holding fee has risen from £25 per quarter to £40 PER MONTH (dealing fees on top). Nothing short of profiteering as far as i am concerned and i'm looking to move my holdings to another platform. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

"Intention to accrue dividends and resume progressive and sustainable ordinary dividend policy"

We had a sustainable dividend policy. Through covid i have been hammered by HMRC on one side and by The bank of England on the other. Not on the bread line but i'm getting fed up of hearing about other people's money woes while it's my hard earned at risk and supporting them.

If i took out a loan from Lloyds would i be allowed to write this in the box asking how I intend to pay it back?
If it's not good enough for them why should it be good enough for me? Is there still a case for investing in this "excellent long term dividend payer" when awarding them is beyond it's control? Considering selling up and investing in Bricks and mortar rather than sit here AGAIN waiting for dividends to build. Nice when they do but it took a decade last time and still no guarantee that was was owed will be awarded at any future point.

Antonio only gets £3.4m for the year. My dividend might just cover 10% of my new patio. After HMRC have taken their usual slice!

9% Not too shabby? It is when you were 17% up in the morning and half that fizzled away. Could be back under £10 tomorrow, hope not but it's anyone's guess.

i beg your pardon?

Is this the fall before the fall or coukd the results put £13+ within reach again?

I'd make a bucket load of money out of this one if
a) i knew what i was doing
and
b) sold out and waited every day i thought, that was a great day!
lol

No i didn't miss Q3 but as we saw with yr end 19, Lloyds paying a dividend doesn't seem to be up to Lloyds anymore. The cancellations we saw early 2020 could always be repeated, a promise isn't a promise any more.

High earning Dividend paying Lloyds?
Seriously? ...Did i miss something then?
I'll wait till "we will pay" becomes "we paid" before i count my chickens.

Yes i thought up 10% today. We did jump to over £13 at open but i thought those results deserved something nearer to £15 over two days. Who knows...maybe tomorrow?

I'm in but "better to be out wishing you were in than jn wishing you were out"
Surely q2 has to be a stonker? Question is, do you hold out for £15-20 or move on and find other opportunities?

Troll?
I was invested here when they were called Arian Silver. They had a great resource in San José mine, very near full production. After diluting the hell out of it to het it there the owner managed to lose the lot to Quintana in a pathetic debacle of a deal. Honestly can't remember what the share price was back then but i think around 30p.
This company (regardless of what its called now) has well and truly fleeced investors in the past and i'm sure will do the same again. Yes, day trade it but betting your house on this penny stock and acquiring millions of shares with dreams of buying a yacht could see you living on a barge!
I say again, would not rush to buy these, history repeats itself. With silver at $22.5 it's valued at 0.17pence, looking stunning then! Lol think i'll stick with my FRES.

Fres is still good value at this level. Nothing is guaranteed but there's only so much gold and silver in the ground.

What goes up must come down but it's only one day. I take it everyone's holding out for Tuesday?

Great day, now only 99.83% down on these.
Wouldn't touch them with your barge pole let alone mine. Run by a muppet. The bulk of my silver money in Fres and Glen and doing nicely there.

Again..down £200k! Is that peanuts or everything?
£200k, £500k, £1m, £10m. It's all relative which is why just up and down are enough. Specifics about the value/movement of a company/market etc are what i'm interested in on boards to be honest.

I have a reasonable holding here but my view is that detailing how much you have invested simply because a price is on the up is bad form. I don't want to appear negative but those who gloat on the way up probably don't on the way down.
I am in profit and these are doing well for me so yes it's a fantastic run and that's fair to say but i have "X" shares bought at "Y" which have made me "Z" profit just rubs salt into other people's wounds.

Sell off going through £11. Results were dire last time with negative news going forward so should be priced in. Hard to see how it could be worse with much better PM prices.
We'll see but i'm holding.

PPI provisions, Covid provisions,etc, etc, where do shareholders rank in all this? Obviously behind everyone else. Seems to me that the best way to get a dividend out of Lloyds is take out a loan and refuse to pay it back!

Telling me surplus cash belongs to the shareholders means nothing if there isn't any surplus. 1.4 billion set aside to take care of non share holders leaving 94 million for us. What and astounding quarter that was!

My view is that if 2019 a very profitable year was wiped out what will we see through 2020 a very unprofitable year so far?

Going into the pandemic we were told by Lloyds the bank could afford to pay the 2019 final with sufficient provision for Covid-19 and the they were compelled through external pressure not to pay the divi.

What i want to hear from Lloyds, isn't "surplus cash is yours" i want to hear "we so far owe you the 2019 final divi and you'll receive that on top of additional divis declared this year. I'm not saying give me it now but i am saying, as with PPI and Covid-19 make a provision for dividends to be paid at a future date and tell us how much is being added to that pot.

Happy to wait a bit and won't even charge you interest. As a small ltd company owner the cancellation of around £10k dividend put a big dent in my finances and i am suffering at the expense of my shares earning others money. So far grossly unfair to be honest so some kind of assurances isn't asking too much!

The dividend was for last year FFS! I get why you've cancelled it but i invested here for the dividends not capital appreciation! Was it last year we were told dividends would be paid on a quarterly basis to give better continuity and a more even spread throughout the year? - The biggest problem with the global economy is that "There is no honour in business any more!"
I understand things are messed up and it's great that people are being "helped" by the government in the short term until they realise you can't pay Peter without Robbing Paul but there are those of us who work our Rses off and do our best to insulate ourselves from the current shight who have been royally shalfted!
