Craigb,

My average is £1.55!

I've got just over £30k in here. More exposed than I'd like but the dividends keep this attractive.

I should take my dividends as cash, and slowly reap back my investment but I appreciate compounding is the more strategic approach but at what point in your life do you think you should start taking back.

Our mentality is to save, save, save, but when do we live and enjoy it?!

Pats,

You say you've split your divi by 50/50.

How did you manage that? I presume you've asked your broker to only reinvest half and or you took half out before the automatic reinvestment?

Nonetheless, I like that approach.

Doh. Sorry about the double post!

And, I'd like to celebrate with my £88.13 dividend...

A slap up Wetherspoons meal is on the cards!

All the best.

Crikey.

Mine hasn't been paid in yet!

Hargreaves Lansdown don't seem to cough up until the final bell of the day.

That said; I only have £2k invested here so I'm not expecting much!

All the best.

The ballooning interest rates are going to cause an element of havoc with our debt, and if the management want to protect their generated profit, then then may look to do a placing and flood the market with more shares.

I certainly hope not, but we don't want our profits, which are in line to increase, to be immediately paid back out to cover the debt and higher rate.

The above is only my inner fear. I've invested in tui so regardless of my potential woes, I see a good recovery over time.

Have a pleasant Bank Holiday weekend all.

Oh, and, yes, TUI paid off a final €750m in April for the state owned debt during the pandemic, but the couple of billion debt credit facility that we have, which we used to pay back the German state, is still sadly with us, so yes, we still have the covid debt.

It's just no longer owed to the Gernan state.

Hexam,

If a company keeps consolidating the shares in issue, it makes it far easier for them to raise more money and dilute again.

Its a sad, but true, rinse and repeat scenario.

You have surely seen this with penny stock shares.

When you're touching on 3 billion+ shares in issue, diltung the company is a lot harder than 300 million shares in issue.

In essence, companies consolidate and then dilute to pay off their incompetence (I mean debts).

I can't quibble about my (almost) £500 dividend yesterday.

My only complaint is I haven't got these shares tucked away in an ISA, which means I'll have to ignore rhe tax man again....

Flipping eck, Shakeineven!

I hope it doesn't drop to £4 as I comically bought in Thursday at £5.07, and then it dropped almost straight afterwards!

I guess the fear with TUI is they will consolidate themselves out of their covid debt, which is an easy option for the company but I hope not.

And, regards peak season;

Peak season may apply for your usual Brit holiday but, TUI makes the lions share of their revenue from their cruise line, which operates throughout the whole year.

ATB.

I think the drop has got to do with the fact that i bought into this share this morning.

Off the mark, at £5.07, and then it drops almost immediately afterwards.

I really am a magnet to this game....

IParsnip,

I feel for you pal. I remember having £30k tied up in an oil company, and that ended up dropping to £3k.

I stupidly averaged myself out of it, and bought another £30k+. I'd never do that again. Sleepless nights. Huge regrets.

That should be the motto of investing in the stock market....

All the very best to everyone

Oh dear. I've just bought £3k as I thought it was worth a punt, but there is quite a large negative sentiment on here.

507p seemed like a good price considering its recent profitability.

All the best.

I'm not sure whether your flights were short or long haul, but there was a recent Rns about confirming purchase orders on more fleets for long haul.
