Donbass, has been a no go area because of War for 10 years. I know of people who are trapped and unable to get out.

Have just spoken to a contact in Kiev and noticiably news of of Military Meetings are not being reported. Of course most Russians are unaware like many Americans do'nt know wher Ukraine is in the World. It's all propaganda. As always time will tell the story.

spawny I have friends in Ukraine who see first hand what is going on. Yes Global Politicians are making noises to suit their own Agenda. Do not forget Russia annexed Crimea and nothing was done. Russia have been at War in Eastern Ukraine for more than 10 years. Russia have massed significant numbers of Military personell and munitions on the Eastern front and now the northern Border in Belarus where "War Games " are taking place as we write.
Are we to beleive Western Leaders have encouraged Putin to conduct all these activities? If anyone believes that there really are Fairies at the bottom of the garden.

YoyoMa,

On the Putin issue, he has the West between a rock and hard place. All these Diplomatic negotiations/threats have little meaning to Putin. If the West instigates further Economic sanctions against Russia and or it's Oligarchs, Putin can just turn off Gas supplies. The same could happen if and when Russia invades Ukraine. Putin has little respect for the ordinary mortal. As I see it Putin holds all the aces and his actions will lead to massive global uncertainty, particularly Energy supplies, which in essence could see huge escalation of values. There is no telling where it could end. One thing is sure, forget the Climate Change Agenda.

ashe the fact is many are being forced into taking that unenviable decision. Historically, those in the lower income levels have found solace at the bottom of a pint glass. Those customers are deminishing for the living costs known and to come. You are as am I, amongst, a fortunate group who do not have to look at every penny.

As McCawber said, income £1, expenditure 19/6....happiness. Income 19/6, expenditure £1,,outcome misery.
With apologies to the decimalised readers.

The pent up spending will have been more or less spent on holidays, cars, motor homes etc, and now 1000's are scared witless at the massive energy rises to hit from April. Consumer spending is going to take, is already, taking a big hit. Add to this, every business is having to absorb or pass on large increases being imposed from most input costs. The retail sector is going to struggle, even Food, where consumers are cutting back.....heat or eat!

Phil my point was any news of significance cannot be regarded as neutral, even to Investors, unless the Guardian is peddling fake news!!
Should our BOD be making more of this latest report?

So women who have and those unfortuneates, who will suffer Breast Cancer, can disregard the headlined treatment published today? Really!

Surprised the SP has not bounced significantly today following the Keytruda announcement this morning.

Facts are facts as I have set out. The fact is, Tony, you do not like being challenged. Fact is you are completely wrong about posting on CEO and do'nt have the good grace to apologise.
You will keep a debate going so long as it is the Parable according to St Anthony, but when not you try to close the topic down.
As you state these BB's are for the exchange and debate of views and opinions and therefore not for the dominance of 1 or 2 knowalls who clearly have their own agenda. As for the trading innuendo, I do not have the time or inclination to sit in front of a computer screen all day long as you seem to do. Kettle and Black come to mind.

I have no desire to continue this futile debate and will leave it at that, there is little point trying to educate those who have closed minds.

barnyards, how right. The aliases used only hide either the motives or insecurities of the writer. The one you mention appears to have been eleviated too higher office by the Pope!

I try to post when some important event occurs, like Monthly divs, Funding vis Loans etc. What I cannot tolerate are posters who use convoluted language which does not add up. and when challenged resort to psychological abuse, which tends to display an inferiority complex.

I am still waiting for an apology from the errant scribe!

Tony, I respectfully ask you retract that offensive statement. I have never posted on CEO and only have ONE pseudonym.

Seems anyone who challenges your financial opinons is without knowledge.
My point earlier, which you clearly disagree, is the Company are retaining cash which would otherwise be distributed to shareholders.
Dividends are payed, by and large, from audited profits, occassionally from asset appreciation and sometimes (rarely) from creative accountancy.

I3e have payed dividends on a bi-annual basis, October and what should be April. The April payment from yr end 31st December and October from 1/2 yr end 30th June. The move to monthly or to be correct 10 equalised payments for a year, start in March and will conclude in October. The half yr to Dec would be made in early April when on the monthly basis only 2/10 will have been made. the remaining 3/10 will be retained by the company until July. There will be advanced payments until october, when the 1/2 yr div would be payed.
Those are the facts which if you do not agree then we will have to agree to disagree.

I have applauded the move to monthly as it will deter Traders and give greater stabilty to the SP, however some here have raised concerns over the change and how the H2 div will be covered. The explanations may bamboozle some but some of us do have a little more knowledge of accounts.

My calculations support the disparity being debated. I'll not post for the moment as the point is being overstated.
My earlier post did pose the possible conclusions'
" If as stated H2 dividend is being distributed in the first 5/6 months, then there will be an accumulation of cash in those first months which then will either enhance dividend payments going forwards or be used for other purposes."

Tony cannot agree. H2 ended 31st December 2021, that cash is already in the bank, unless consolidated into current year or maybe a special dividend once figures are released, there is a disparity., For this reason, H2 has ended and the commencement of 10 equal payments in the current year, will be distributed from current cash income. If as stated H2 dividend is being distributed in the first 5/6 months, then there will be an accumulation of cash in those first months which then will either enhance dividend payments going forwards or be used for other purposes.
I am pleased to see the move to 10 equal payments as this will add to Shareholder value and distract Traders.

H2 div would be payed in arrears ( in other words after 6 months report). We are now moving to a monthly system, the ex div date being 17th February. In essence cash generated in the preceeding month.
Unless the company are consolidating that part of the H2 dividend proportionate to the change to monthly payments, there would appear an anomaly.

Cane Toad we are on the same hymn sheet. There are too many aim company's just swallowing funds with little propects of any quick capital growth let alone paying a div of any consequence. We have the best of Worlds, Dividends and real Capital Growth, anyone who claims otherwise needs their head examining.

GGG can understand what you are saying. Is cash already earned/banked being rolled over to increase payments going forward. Remembering monthly payments commencing March will be based on cash inflow during February and carry on in an arrear basis thereon. That is fair enough, but as you elude GGG, will the Banked cash for H2 be consolidated into monthly payments, proportionately, from March onwards?
Guess we will have to wait for the statement in a couple of weeks, to know the answer

Interesting Tweet from Majid. Could he be indicating an "option" to take shares rather £SD, as a div?

Any PI holding 500K shares will get £500 each month div....better than many stocks who pay little or nothing in dividends.
The monthly payments are likely to reduce significant volatility in the SP which Traders will hate.

Are going to be taking considerable risks in future. Selling and Buying between Ex Div cycles will be dodgy as SP pre Ex Div will factor in next Dividend.
I3e no longer a trader's stock imo.

CaneToad apologies should have answered Soucrew and not overlaid your reply.
