I agree! Point I made clear yesterday.

The truth hurts…that’s why divi was suspended last yr..

it’s been in decline since 2017…

Word of warning to everyone, which has come true again with this thing called DLG.

Divivdend policy was so wrong. Should have been cut in half a long time ago. Any SP thst has a divi above 6% usually ends in disaster, be it gets a nasty haircut, or the SP drops like a plane coming into land. Truth hurts, but it’s a fact.

We brits are looking for juicy stocks with dividends to beef up your pensions and sit back and watch the SP rise back to their former glories.

It’s one talk my broker gave me when I was one client with Rathbones ..

It’s time to put some of that pension to use and top up in that big dip come next week! Can’t wait !!!!!

Correction Charlie, if dollar weakens not strengthens oilies will prosper

On current form as of TODAY DLG are not worth 300p, there worth 212p.

So,. AEGAS are not going to pay a premium for something unless they know it can prosper without much change.

That’s the basics right.

Remember DLG has been on a downward trend since 2017, so the uptrend is going to require a lot of work.

This is what is the big problem with UK stocks, the payout is high and growth is low.

I have debated this against oilies, banks all that underperform USA big.

This is a good move with a small dividend which will help cut costs and aid growth in business that is still struggling .

Go look at all insurers worldwide it’s 2-4.5% payout not silly 8%.

I’m happy with this payout. It’s better than zero payout

So, the p/e comes from last years EPS which was very close to 210p if my memory serves me right.

Know so as I am heavily invested in this and have been since 2006.

As the last 2yrs energy companies have had record profits this is how it spiked.

This year is expected to be down in a moderate level of 65-70p range most analysts have and 2025 to be 70-74p.

Don’t think UK will ever play catch up.

This is shocking

1month is down 6.35%

JPM is Up 7.7%

C is up 7.7%

BAC is up 6.3%

I added £5k last week thinking that was a mistake and should’ve added to bank of Canada instead

Don’t be buying any yet, we need possitive news to start and see a bottom appear in this graph. This could continue down to

If we wait and hear of a 2nd case that is when I’m making my decision on selling, as this could be it, though we’re told there over 100.

It could grow now that the judge has voted in favour of the customer.

Can’t really compare this, even thinking of pharma companies

But go and look at Aldi / Lidls stores there near empty the times I’m there in some stores i have in Glasgow, one in a nice area is empty all the time no matter what time I go. Previous owner was Wholefoods which also failed and left.

I would still comment that that Aldi / Lidls offers are limited to only certain brands, and having tried once the microwave meals are awful.

When I go to COSTCO it’s buzzing queues every till. 20minutes to get through checkout ..

I’m a Hagen daz fan, B&J lost it with all these varieties just full of chocolate, caramel etc…

I thought i try and find a way to compare against similar couriers, but WINCANTON from what I’m aware ( I work for IKEA Kitchens ), is they only service LONDON.

I was looking at DX couriers but they were acquired by HIC last yr whom service MIDLANDS.

DHL trades at p/e of 11, but there massive at €48bn .

I have held a messily 1000 WIN since 2007, along with ARRIVA I bought too same time whom were bought by Germans I remember.

Wished I had put my mammoth £28k holding in here rather than VODA in in 2097.

GLA

BRITISHBULLS has this this morning updated from stay in cash yesterday to STRONG BUY.

Bought in with £5k

Marketscreener.com have brokers whom have analysts pencil in a possible 13-14p dividend for 2024.

I was expecting a 2p dividend for 2024 back in October ‘23.

Why has it taken so much time to rid Ben & Jerrys it’s a sickly ice cream brand full of sugar .

Plus the soup brand KNORR needs removed too.

If they just remove entire Food division like P&G did aLLLOONNNGG time ago, it will help profit margins and raise P/E.

Get going ULVR!!

With the Yemen and Gaza war spreading it is only a matter of time before it escalates to Iran.

Oil price will be over $100 dollars a barrel by the 4th quarter…

This looks a great LONG term play.

I’m selling my SHELL shares next week, had enough of them, keeping BP & CVX as my oilies

On HICL how Many often does top 5 holdings change, if anyone has noticed any changes?

Network Rail must be most heavily indebted co if top 5.

Bouygues 16.99%

Network Rail 7.00%

Mitie 5.00%

Sodexo 4.00%

Siemens 3.00%

Found this on Citywire on Friday.

Before posting a comment, get your facts right before wasting our time reading the $60bn.

If you had the screed on our message board you would have read that one certain site maybe two had posted incorrect numbers by 1000 times out.

REUTERS is the best site to use in my view.

The person writing that article needs a kick up the back side fir saying $60bn

We live in a messed up world ‘Clued ‘ just have to accept this sub standard quality of life.

Stockmarket indices are even out of sync, DOWJ & S&P at record highs when the world economy is the opposite in line with the VIX.

But do we want to hit that reset button, certainly no… we keep going .. it’s so fake the markets when we take a step back abd look at everything..

Then we have TRUMP v BIDEN debate .. it’s a joke if that’s the best USA can offer.

So, I’d take everything out of USA literally as like that!

Rant over

Just remember, this food formulae has been sold not just a year or two, but since 1959

Enfamil, introduced in 1959, has undergone several significant formulations — each one designed to optimise nutrition. With over a century of innovation behind it, Mead Johnson Nutrition strives to be the world's leading provider of science-based paediatric nutrition products.

Some group, fund feels confident after placing a big order at £34m at after hours.

Has to be a BUY, as they would’ve seen so plummet.

Hopefully as others have said this will leap back up on Monday.
