HMSO should be rushing to announce a dividend... Why are they still dawdling?... I really don't understand why they are not doing it...

Kazakh is a huge risk... Not so much as political as it's untested and all sorts of intricacies might be lurking to make you lose money. some experts institutions/dealers maybe able to work it out, no doubt. But I am not in that category... I'm out on an even basis, although i held for 3 years... so a poor investiment for me as i could have used the money differently

well, why would the BOD keep driving the sp down? Don't they have a lot of their own shares at stake?... where is the logic?

so by the look of it the general meeting was only about voting formalities _ - -

No report then? it looks like no poster went to the meeting... put off by the congestion charge - ?

well, I've added and halved my sp investment... it can only go up - - or down.... or just stay there

--- oops.... the meeting is the day after tomorrow -

---- tomorrow?.... Could you please ask abut the dividend? I mean, try to have a as much as possible detailed reply - ?

CEO "Looking forward, we have strong momentum and remain on track to return to cash dividends as previously guided."

Where can I find the text of " as previously guided."
Any poster has a written statement of this previous guidance, please?

to be honest I can't see the sp going below 5... It might have an intraday sharp fall to below 5 but won't last more than a couple of minutes and you got to be pretty quick to take advantage of it and I don't think we pi would be able to.... It should now steadily if slowly to trend higher

Could please posters name their brokers when talking about RIs?... It's not much help otherwise... I am with HL and Fidelity, no allocations yet

Yup, the only and VERY ONLY rule YOU CAN TRUST on aim, is to avoid aim altogether... all the rest is rubbish, conning and frauding the small investor

it turned out they served only haggis from Glasgow.... Brexit is biting real hard

Why, no mongolian restaurants in Manchester? it's supposed to be the capital of the North

So now that you know, what's the story here?

In my opinion in the present siutation HMSO should declare the next dividend at the soonest.

JGFFourie.... Yes, your points are very valid... However HMSO showed serious lack of creativity in tackling the dividend. They could have had a scrip, a reduced dividend, or even delayed the dividend etc etc - HMSO directorship seems very able to run a company - I am not sure of their ability to handle the market though... For a listed company no matter how good your are as a director at running a company, it can count very little if do not show ability to handle the market...

Gazza,
where exactly are these results, please? Found only announcement but no pdf on their website

Zelensky has got NATO fully committed not to let Russia win. He knows only too well that never in a million years Ukraine will ever have again a chance like that against Russia. It's like a very poor man winning the toppest ever prize in a lottery... My guess is Xi will propose all Russia invaded territory be declared demilitarized/neutral areas under the oversight of ONU or something similar peacekeeping arragement... For a host of reasons both good and bad, Xi is the only one who can get a result anyway. I am sure Xi is genuine about it. He knows that if he succeeds to broker peace his personal world influence and China' will get an enormous upgrade.

IMO it's mostly due to how HMSO deals with the dividend... From the point of view of the sp, it was a blatant mistake not to give any final div which provoked a considerable sp fall. there should have been some sort of final dividend paid out... From the point of view of company management it was maybe a good thing to prioritise future developments. IMO i think they really missed to give enough attention the fact that for Reits the dividend is a hugely important attraction. I think they could have navigated it better by giving a reduced final dividend, as long as there was a dividend paid out. So for the future HMSO better pay extreme attention on how they manage dividends, and if they do it properly (whatever and however that is) will no doubt get back to glory days
