I mean by selling out day before xdiv, then rebuying on the (luckily) way overdone drop xdiv day, nearly back to where I sold. Lucky this time for me. Similar but not as so overdone on BP

At last, Chid has got something right - yes it is Friday.

Very aggressive shorting. Look at the trades going thru

Love a snap election, but all those labour mp's would be history would they not, and currently they are enjoying huge pension/pay/expenses for next 4 years. Not about to bring starmer and his idiots down are they.

Agree y11, I sold my lot around 238p rather than take the divi. Got several buy orders in at 220 -225 range.

BP, SQZ and HBR. All going a treat. As is of course CBG. (Sorry - not CBG board stuff but I didn't start the thread)

Very busy today, nearly all trades are the shorters playing their games. Does give (hopefully) a good trading opportunity on the back of their activities

No div problem if held in isa or sipp of course.

That's right, after all pensioners never worked in their lives, or payed taxes and so on.

Sparhawk, how about if the bank clerk does a windfall tax on financials ?

Chid seems a bit absent this morning?

Fair enough and you are of course correct about emotion and so on. Nothing more dangerous than "loving" a share.

Liberty, you have ignored those who have taken the opportunity to trade these on the swings - this has happened countless times now.

All those 100s and 200s and sometimes considerably more all add up as well. Just depends on what you like doing does it not?

I find trading fun.

Initial Monday be it buy or sell would be out of the reach of PIs one imagines, if anything SC announces causes huge movement then it will be over within seconds. Does not appear to be any leaking going on so far, wonder if that will be the case up to tomorrow 1630h. Make a change for once.

Was also staying out til SC arrives but did buy yesterday at 401 ish, could not resist. Sold this morning though. Easy few quid.

Had me wondering what the next part of your post was going to be for a few seconds...

HBR Security: "Is that your wallet sir?" (Pointing to the big bulge in my pants)

Randonmix, this could dive way below 400 and it could shoot above 600. Three SC options imo, 1 is upholding the Appeal Court and bang goes the share price, 2 is overruling the AC and nothing to see here as far as CBG is concerned, massive share price jump, but also 3 where the opinion by the SC is not 100% conclusive or mixed which means who knows.

Have had fun with these for so many months (shares are only a hobby for me), but now out. Hope to be back in when the divis recommence like before all this crap arrived.

Spot on SG, I am late 70s years old now, would hate to be early 20s 30s age etc in this mess we live in now.

I -think- what may happen is they will auto-bot the price up maybe 5 or 6 p?, then autobot it back down again and settle. Then go the same again and again. Does give a trading opportunity if this is the case by piggy backing on their activity. Probably quite wrong of course.

Pension is fine until the bank clerk get's her dirty mits on it. Not from you (or your wife possibly) but from ultimately your beneficiaries. Am pulling mine bit by bit keeping where I only pay 20%, as my kids will get hammered much worse later on.
