No I'm not shorting so will loose the same amount. I prefer to buy high yielders and the lower it goes the more the yield goes up. Not sure it will get that low though. Will it get back to the 930's

How can you tell when a politician is lying? Their lips move! kerching, the old ones are the best. I suspect Brexit will get sorted one way or another even if MP's vote through clenched teeth saying that they are against it but backing the people. The opposite conclusion has quite terrifying consequences that most MP's can see. Maybe we will see a change develop in parties to innies and outies a bit like in Scotland where one party still wants independence of sorts. Maybe we might get to vote back in again sooner than later, you cant trust voters, as the US seems to be understanding. Any nice out of work dictators need a job?

Sentiment against retail with bricks, good job debs has a bit more to offer. M&S struggling too, results out today. Just going through the same issues as debs but a tad behind the curve. I wonder if the Autumn Statement will offer any help seems an unfair playing field or will the high streets close in the end. Increase vat maybe and reduce business rates??? No sure that would be welcomed either but would take more tax from tinternet. Oh well a tad closer to the next divi and some market noise from the US to fall away by the end of the week. Then we can concentrate on something else like the wrong type of weather. Shops to be snowed off today.

Trying to buy carpets for a whole house and obtained a quote from Carpet right. The cost of the carpet was ok but then the invoice had over £600 of admin fees. After haggling the price they then informed that there would be a £29 delivery fee! They are about to loose a sale over this latest add on, its cheaper to buy a more expensive carpet from elsewhere. Still if people mainly pay all these add on's then the SP should rise

sounds a bit sharp on the last webcast or was she in a rush. The singer sounds so much softer.

Here today, might be a mistake if Trump wins as it might be cheaper on Thursday but so might many others. Nice yield but not covered...yet. Hopefully they are spending some money on IT security and can give Tesco a helping hand.

Had a quick trawl through your history but couldn't find any SPD stuff, well in the first 5 pages. Might have to find more time later but sounds like it wont be the revelation Im looking for. Murry No1, that sweaty wrist band might be worth something

Looks like IC are not the only ones who are positive http://www.***************************/debenhams-plc-11-3-potential-upside-indicated-rbc-capital-markets/412715188 Potential 11% upside. Also mean potential downside too, in fact its got the potential to do anything. I will try and read the article if I get chance later though. Clinton is innocent, get the T-shirt (in debs of course) and Brexit drags on or is that off and on! Hope for the remain camp maybe but Farage on TV also warning of trouble ahead if Brexit does not appear. What a pickle, I suppose its not as simple as some, including myself, thought but maybe it stops accidental triggering of A50.

I dont think the fine will adjust the SP much compared to the 312m profit. Still I prefer it in my pocket than wasted on fines. Noise about the market next week might make more of a move but the company hasn't changed much so if it could knock the SP to 630 that would be nice.

Following Debs lead out of clothing by swapping to food only stores in some areas. Queeny I'd get a couple of those nighties quick before they get scarce. Shorts still rising and a bad write up in Motley Fool, although it will be recommended as a buy too within days I suspect with them. rbrand care to share your debs comments here too? Mrs G taking me away for the week to visit family n friends so might miss the latest hard soft on off Brexit and the US Trump v Clinton fiasco of elections. I expect a bit of volatility so might have to think about what I might do with regards any top up's here n there. Of course the US might end up like Brexit beware the hanging chad and legal eagles getting involved. Bonfire nite tonight, we might have two next year if the MP's, who 75 percent were remain vote to stop "the will of the people" well the small majority that voted out anyway. Social unrest by the oldies, I can see it now zimmer frames blocking roads n rail. Good job Cameron didnt trigger Article 50 straight away with the legal problems, he could have been sacked! No idea what will happen to the SP next week but the divi should be more stable in the longer term, maybe new kid is onto summat

store on the radar according to Retailweek. Not sure I would be doing much shopping there for a wee while

I was fairly pleased with most of the update. Lots of opinions on the bb for and against. Hedgies is right in some aspects, they cant keep borrowing to pay a divi but Shell see this as a transition and temporary situation. There will be headwinds, POO, selling bits and cutting costs will all affect how long "temporary" becomes. There is a fear it becomes the norm. Their own 30 percent gearing limit was above expectations as some of the levers were slower to operate ...... but they still can be. They reported lots of positives coming soon including profits at lower poo levels. I also think opec wont agree a meaningful deal. Of course in a worst case scenario debt could keep rising and something would need to be done with the divi but I think a more realistic case is it will be managed but its going to take time. That time will depend on all the factors above. The cost of BG has been consumed, new projects coming on stream so Shell is doing its bit. The poo is out of its hands. The higher the better for Shell and my divis but not my fuel tank. Stricklyslick - Will it go over it self imposed debt limit, it could but again I think it will be short term if it does and they are working hard to avoid it. Things could still move slower than they expect like last time. As long as there is a route back, which currently there is, credit ratings will be ok. mesca - ignore the brokers and the SP and do your own thing. Hedgies, 25bn is not cutting to the bone but why start extra things if you are going to loose money. Lots of things canned due to fall in poo so only more profitable projects getting the go ahead. FJG spot on with the webcast made me a much happier bunny. Its always the Q&A that brings out the best bits afterall shell want to spin to the positive. So for me I'm going to keep collecting the divis and give them the time to get stabilised, stop the script, reduce debt and then up my divi's. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

This wont help https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/nov/01/south-west-water-sewage-spills-ofwat-severn-trent-anglian-water

Whiteace, the best place to look is their own investor relations page. http://www.pennon-group.co.uk/dividends look around at the other bits too, great for DYOR Divis are paid generally Mar and Sep but you need to be holding before ex divi date hence 2 September 2016 to shareholders on the register on 8 July 2016! I havent looked at the sells but if its marked UT (Uncrossed Trade) its nothing to worry about but google the term for more.

Well I'm interested in the report and if true, that it was an uncontained failure then I assume there will be a few RR engineers following events too. Just because it doesn't happen to you doesn't mean you might not learn anything. Much better to learn from others mistakes than your own. Didn't see the SFO tv thing, thought about watching on catch up but from comments on here maybe not.

Whiteace, Im not sure I'm the right person to ask. I mainly look at income potential and the SP is almost immaterial. I dont see the company getting any worse and expect that the divi will rise over the years. The SP will move up n down, like the market. On bad days I would look to add more, as the divi will be higher. I did consider selling some when the SP was up in 940's but generally I just buy and hold ....... which I ended up doing. A trader might help you more short term. It could bounce from around here or fall further, your guess is as good as mine. I think its fairly quiet on this bb as its quite a steady share, some might say bond proxy. Although if fell a bit at the beginning of the month.

6m report normally due end of next month. I think SP was toppy and some froth has come off the top.

I'll keep one eye open for that and another across the pond for some details on the NTSB investigation into the Boeing 767 engine fire

KNIGELK - Debs should provide coffee n news papers in the man creche whilst Mrs G Shops. NKOTB - aren't certs a bit old fashioned. Midway - I didnt know debs did catalogues but didnt get the MoS so will have to take your word for it. Debs starts the week, weak! Following the market down. Do I have to wait until after Bonfire nite before saying the words "Santa rally"

They made plans for a Scotland split so I'm sure they have plans for whatever form of Brexit we get too, including opening an EU version if that is needed. We might get some shares in NonStandard Life! Short term might be good getting euros but that might tank at some stage if they keep printing money and not sorting out the fundamentals. Makes you wonder who will end up paying our share of the hard Brexit pie. Just keep paying me the growing divis and I think I'll be happy whilst everyone bun fights.
