I am no expert but to me the Notices simply inform as to how many shares each director has received this quarter as part of their remuneration packages I don't see where they have sold them. it is common for the beneficiary to sell some to cover there tax liabilities
No doubt some one can clarify
Has any one worked out the average price of the share buy back to date
If CHS is REIT doesn't have to pay 90% of profits as a dividend? There is often criticism of REITS as some say they have a limited availability to grow (presumably with out borrowing more money)
As CSH seem to easily be managing their debt and borrowing why should the dividend be cut?
not yet confirmed , or nothing on dividend data web site
Director buys on todays RNS and "shorts" closing on 6 September are i think going to support a move up, just how far is a guess but I think at least another 7p (if only for shorters to start again) and hopefully past the 90p mark which would still give 6%+ return
Just quickly read the trail of this £100k investment and £12k dividend income idea. To me its not realistic (try the horses may get that result) Yes no reason why you cant get a 12% return over time, but i think that will rely on sensible dividend reinvestment and taking/reinvesting capital gains from trading
If you want £12k now that is going to have to rise substantially to keep pace with inflation
I run two portfolios, similar investments in each over time, each have about twenty differing holdings. One is UK listed shares only and the other is UK investment trust (no Funds)
The equities has grown quicker in capital value (including reinvested dividends) and pay about 7% on invested capital The IT pay even better but the capital gain increase is slightly less as i dont trade for capital gains very often
The fall in equities value can be quit dramatic in line with the FTSE The IT variations is much less
If i was to start again i think i may load more into IT but that needs time. You could look at the likes of MYI. HHI, HFEL, as they get you some world coverage. There are some big payers on the money markets like NCYF, RECI, SMIF, SERE
Most of my poor buys have be when when the FTSE has passed 7300 mark, As earlier advisors said take your time , buy on low points , preferably ex divi to avoid the red figures on your spread sheets
Good luck

Like most i am hoping this share price rises, and then i sell at a small profit. Funds will go elsewhere there are always opportunities if one looks
i am sure that TLW edged the majority of this years target production some way below the $80 mark, ditto 30-40% of next years so does not leave a lot for profits, may be reduce debts but can't see any dividends coming. If I can find the article i will post on here
I asked my broker about my future position with BHP shares as I have no wish to go international
Question
Should BHP delist will I be able to hold or trade my shares that I currently have in my account with you?
Should I be able to continue to hold the shares with you will there be any significant changes as to how any dividend payments are handled
Response
Please be advised in the event of a delisting holders will be contacted with the options available to them.
We are unable to provide confirmation as to whether shares could remain in the ISA as this will be subject to the action taken by the Company on delisting, for example- whether an alternative listing was put in place or if the shares remained in CREST.
Not a great answer but keeps me holding what i have in BHP
Were i used to work (quasi government/charity) we had arguments with insurers over claims, generally for partial damage as total loss for there accommodation buildings was rare. The insurers would only pay a percentage of any claim relative to the ratio between the employers estimated cost via their own estimates. The employer then made an agreement with their insurers. the insurers agreeing to cover all cost generally arising so long as the building was initially insured for 1.2 x the build contract cost and associated fees. The build contracts varied from £1m to £10m with fees around the 15% mark Each year rebuild cost move with inflation
They may have paid marginally over the odds but considered the certainty of a full pay out was the better option
As to my own house insurance they give me a guide line based on, house type, materials built, number of beds and post code. Its usually reasonable if you consider a full rebuild is rarely required, but there are demolition and access cost plus possible temporary accommodation cost
Really, that looks like a cool 30000 shares to day for a cool £53k ex cost and stamp duty, best of luck
Good luck to you.
I first bought at the £19+ mark thinking (as a learner) that it would recover to its Feb 2011 high near £24 mark. Sadly not, it took a lot of trading to get to my current £14.70 mark
My thought now is do i sell or hold as dividend is likely to be around the £1.40 mark for the year (presuming that they pay as before equal amounts twice yearly)
At your price of of £12 that Is some return and i think a long term hold.
At my £14.70 and old age, slightly different equation but i am tempted to reduce (more so if i can identify an alternative buy) and the bench mark for that is likely to be as much in reference to the change in the FTSE between my last trade in March 2018 and the present
On the basis that BHP is the major influence on the FTSE I may wait to see how the price moves relative to the index before making a decision
What is the forecast for BHP this year from the investors rather than the brokers view?
I think under £3 would see many buyers but of course that is relevant to what the other shares in the market are doing, yes its climbed from the 330 in December but relevant to the FTSE its still standing still at the 348 mark - percentage wise its just tracking the FTSE - but at 6% divi its a reasonable buy
Should have added that there are no holding cost with Lse for an ISA
( Is it easy to transfer shares out of my trading account into an isa? are there any downfalls to having shares in an isa compared to a trading account? )
I dont think you can transfer your shares, normally you have to sell, transfer the cash and rebuy in the ISA
The long term tax advantages on dividends and capital gains are presently well worth while - but i think the taxman will look to tighten rules ( for me it was a no brainer to take 25% of my DB pension in cash and move it into ISA )
Some brokers charge for holding an share ISA account but there are some free accounts around - have a look at X-O no holding cost and low trade cost
I think you you are pushing the dividend higher than at present or the near future
SSE are currently holding the 80p per annum which is less than 6% at todays price
looks like no immediate change from the statement in the report "Annual dividend of 137.7 pence per share reflecting rebased payment announced in May"
So the CEO holds circa 289k shares about £121k at present cost is this really a big deal given what his salary will be?
Should one hold shares in both these trust, they both pay well but run by the same people, and at first viewing seam to hold many of the same investments
Opinion as to why one or both appreciated
And to add to that UU is at a similar price to 5 years ago . It has paid less in dividends but provided equal opportunities for trading and capital gains
