The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Breitling have done precisely that and pulled all of their sales into their own chain of Breitling boutiques as I recently found out when trying to get a vintage Navitimer serviced. Seems to work well for then in the same shopping mall as WOS and a similar Omega boutique in Edinburgh.
Teddy100 In truth you are probably safer wearing a Rolex in the slums of Mumbai or New Delhi. Try wearing one in central London, Liverpool or Manchester and your ownership may be more fleeting . As for Patek, again you are buying the name. Go for a real piece of quality by A. Lange & Sohne if you really want to stand out from the crowd. LOL
The Rolex bubble may well just burst. Throttling back supply of a commodity that is frankly affordable at RRP has created a bloated grey/used market which has resulted in thousands of unworn watches in safes and bank vaults worldwide in the hope of huge gains. This in turn has made the Rolex wearer the number one target for petty and often violent criminals as reports of watch muggings soar. What is the point of going on a waiting list for a watch that you then dare not wear in public? Madness
I see that Dividendmax now has an updated timetable for the PHNX interim dividend:
Declaration date: 18th Sept
Ex-div date: 28th Sept
Payment date: 23rd October (Monday)
So pushed back into Oct this year like MNG, AV. LGEN etc. Probably to do with implementation of the IFRS17 reporting requirements.
Chill out peeps FFS. Been in these since 2012 in the low 400's and through the RI's and bought more on the covid dip. Never lost me a moments sleep over good old PHNX. The whole market (with a few exceptions) is tanking at the moment and as the tide goes out all boats will drop. The Ukraine war will not go on for ever and neither will this downturn. Hold on tight, enjoy the divi and tek a drink. LOL
Interesting commentary by Ian Cowie on growth prospects for the Indian economy in which he mentions Hindustan Lever (HUVR). This wholly owned subsidiary of ULVR comprises over 30% of the whole of the parent’s stock market capitalisation. he states "HUVR’s last dividend was up 19% and this seems to confirm that India is one of the best-positioned economies in the world to deliver growing wealth for its growing population over the next two decades. If so, ULVR’s holding in the biggest consumer company in India truly is a jewel in its crown."
I think the declaration comes with the results and these are delayed by the transition to the new accounting standards IFRS17. Same for AV. LGEN etc. all of whom along with PHNX have usually come in by now. Divi payments will probably be in Oct now instead of the usual Sept payments.
Why is anyone surprised by the Italian bank windfall tax? If you are daft enough to vote in a bunch of right wing populist t**ts what else do you expect to happen other than economic madness? Next they may follow Erdogan and lower interest rates to curb inflation LOL
She who must be obeyed just paid off the remaining balance and closed her NEXT account. The shape of things to come?
If any of this low level political noise made a scrap of difference to the prospects for a revival in the UKOG share price I could understand it, but as stands it will make no difference whatsoever, nada, rien, null SFA.....LOL
People keep banging on about shorts? What shorts? There have been no declared positions in AZN since 2021 and that was very low level. Oh and don't start on about "naked short selling" and other market manipulation conspiracy theories. Could it just be a general move out of Pharma and into AI and other stocks coupled with the strong pound hitting exports and overseas income? Oh and as for "Don't kill cash" I would not sign anything associated with the swivel-eyed right wing loonies at GB News. They employ the national embarrassments that are Nadine Dorries and JRM. Hope they go bust soon. LOL
Bought a shedload along with the CEO when it dropped below £9. More than happy with progress since then as they seem to have a grip on costs and a competent management team. The whole market is on a downer of late and, as they say, when the tide goes out all boats will drop".
