The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
It does remind me of a company called gvc holdings many moons ago. but that depend on ed doing the business. gvc paid special dividend and of course the drop. took a while to go back up but then kept going to new highs paying out dividends. rare but it can happen where by holding you get the best of both worlds given time. i am more for out and out growth but will gladly hold these shares as looks good to me now. but it will take time as with the rare gvc example.
Lol. the only way this will work where you do really well is get the dividend and then hold your shares. all this buying at up to 3p and then selling at 2p but getting the dividend is not that clever in my book. nope. get the dividend and hold. of course if you bought in at 2p then great. but i did not see one single post on here saying they bought at 2p before dividend was announced.
As said this was expected to drop this amount today. so everyone that is invested now gets the dividend on the 13th may and we may get a good rise in the share price in coming weeks/ months. strange anyone posting about the drop and being one of the biggest fallers.
Yep. strategy a all the way. it saves people losing the dividend on any stock buying at the wrong price. safe money. and you still have your shares for a climb up no matter how long it takes and potential another dividend but next time will probalby be only for long term holders. strategy b is a time thing. you get the money on the 13th may. by the time you re invest shares might have gone up. so a if your sensible.
There is no chance of it dropping to 1.5. it has never been that low and as said with buybacks, special dividends, better sentiment, cheap anyway on fundamentals. so the drop will probalby be the normal drop on special dividend ex dividend or less and from the highest price on the 24th which is the ask price.
Daprohet too right. people are going to buy this for more dividends in the future but already on board. and a rising share price after the drop in the coming weeks/months. as long as you are already in and holding you win. on the other hand people buying in now ready to sell quickly after ex dividend because they need the money are not going to make the money they think they will. and buyers buying after ex dividend will get cheap stock along with future dividends if they hold. it is simple. get in and hold. of if already in just hold after ex dividend in my opinion.
Deltalo. yep. it is just stupid piling in and then selling on ex dividend date. only game in town is hold, hold, hold where you benefit from share price recovery after ex dividend and the dividend itself. infact by the 13 may get the dividend and shares may be back up.
Defo you can not have your cake and eat it short term. and buying at the highest price before ex dividend and then selling is madness. your divi benefit will be small and you may even be on a small loss with costs also depending on what money you put in.
The stock price usually drops by the amount on ex dividend day. i am just sticking with what i have, pick up the divi on the 13th, hold and i may buy more on the drop if ed comes out with a forward looking statement. it is nuts to buy on the 24th if you are just going to sell straight after ex dividend in my opinion. you get the divi but will lose on your shares. it has to be a hold in my opinion and then you get both in time. share price increase and dividends in low risk aim stock that is cheap.
Buying on wednesday is probalby not sensible into a rise unless the people buying are going to hold. you get the dividend but your buying at the short term high and next day is ex dividend day with a drop.
Yep. there will be no placement, no dilution. ed just needs to come out with more good news in the coming weeks/ months . a rare situation of an aim stock with a bit of a safety net coming out with big special dividends.
There is a fair chance ed will turn this around now and he has reasons to do it. and the shares are cheap and very low market cap. right when you sell it could all turn around. that is how this market works. if the share price triple in the next 12 months or so and as matt says more special dividends dished out but only for shareholders that hold from here how would you feel. of course if you need the money fair enough. but my opinion i would think about it. nothing worse being an ex shareholder and watching your stock go up paying out dividends along the way. but each to there own and everyone is different. good luck whatever you choose.
