Sell your ROLEX! 😊

Dividends paid out by major companies increased in the past quarter and is expected to continue growing this year, even with global growth slowing.

Growth has been driven by record payouts by banks and in Europe especially, which outstripped all other regions.

Roughly 88% of the world's largest companies either increased or held their shareholder payouts steady in the second quarter, according to data analysed by Janus Henderson from the 1,200 biggest public companies by market value.

A total of US$568.1 billion was paid out in dividends in the period, up 4.9% on the second quarter of the previous year, or up 6.3% if special dividends were ignored in both periods, as these enjoyed an outsized quarter in 2022.

Payouts are likely to grow 5% to a record US$1.64 trillion in 2023, the fund manager forecast.

Banks contributed more than half of global dividend growth in the past quarter, with UK names including Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LSE:LLOY) and Barclays PLC (LSE:BARC) hiking 15% and 20% to enable a record US$85.3 billion paid out by the sector in the quarter, up 19.7% on a year ago.

" debit card declined twice online, first time i got timed out LOL . Second time cos don't know what i'm doing"

Possible the amount of transaction you wanted exceeded the daily limit your Bank has for Debit Card transactions? I am with Bank of Scotland and they have a £20,000 daily limit on debit card transactions so anything over that won't go through. They also have an added security feature that if they are not sure about any transaction, they will not authorise it until they have sent a text message to my mobile phone with an authorisation code which I then have to add to the online transaction I am making for it to proceed.

"Sensible answers ??"

Looking at the green line immediately after your post you walked right into that one seany! 🤣🤣🤣

Sotonspike.......a case of banana fingers on my part, it should have been 1.8m!

National Savings' launch of a 6.2% paying bond has thrown the cat among the pigeons of income funds, but one or two of these dividend payers are crying out to be bought.

Wish it was Seany! My interim dividend payment on 12th September with that amount of LBG shares would be £18,216 😊

"How long is a Long Term Investor??"

Roughly about 1.98m

"Hardup, I am 12+ months ahead of them....it's a fact. Cheers"

You are suffering from delusions of grandeur!

Just as well they didn't follow your lead and open a long position CFD on ARGO Resources at a little over 4p a share!

Falky,

The latest is the same it was on 24th August. Viking declared a short position open on Lloyds as they have to for shorts 0ver 0.5%. They initially declared a position over 0.5% on 21st August at 0.51%Theythen increased this by 0.1% from 0.51% to 0.61% on the 24th August. This was one day before the buyback completed. The timing of this seems to suggest they were maybe taking a bet on the SP diving after the buyback had completed?

Forgot to post a link.

I see NS&I have issued a Guaranteed Income Bond ......Issue 72: 6.03% gross/6.20% AER, fixed for 1 year, paying interest monthly. You can invest up to £1M!

Seems Markets are prematurely calling the end of the interest rate rise cycle and have started to price in no more interest rate rises in America? Will the FED dampen the euphoria in September or November with another rate rise?

........down to 5.2% in August.

BAH HUMBUG!! 😠😠
