Hi all, forgive my ignorance and a the non CINE question but you are bright folk and I'd welcome your steer away from CINE briefly..., I'd like a steer on selling down a non CINE stock either side of Ex Dividend. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
Selling down before Ex Div forfeits your right any dividend that may fall due (up to the date of Ex Div). The stock value ahead of going Ex Div is mostly likely to rise due anticipated Div payouts, meaning selling down after Ex Div will secure any dividend due but see a most proable drop back in stock value.
Thus working out whether to sell ahead of after Ex Div has to take into account the value of potential dividend that could be gained over the artificial rise on stock value.
I need to sell a holding and have a window that sits either side of an Ex Div date of April. I could really do with sharpening up my understanding!
Any corrections to my lay understanding would be appreciated.
@poorinvestor, the article concludes..."So I’d be wary of reading too much into these recent movements. Would I buy now? No, because nothing has really changed. And I don’t buy on speculation and guesswork"?
@Wellington99... a well articulated and thought through observation.
Am I looking at something different to everyone else?
it's all gone a bit quiet
Mostly Blue day, brave or foolish?
Leave the current situation to one side. If your portfolio consists of extremely high speculation and you'd willing walk into CINE today as it if you'd not been before, hold. If you can't pas this test, you are too wrapped in the loss pretty much all of us have seen (my own at 90%) and are not thinking rationally. We lost. I'm out and will will look to start over. I'd possibly look at CINE as no more than a punt with tiny amount i'd happily lose. BUT I would not get caught in the dangerous assumption buying in now at 2p will see you profit and regain your losses. Except and move on.

I had held £20k worth at 36p and sold the lot at 4p on Monday. I sent too long wondering and holding (ended up with 4p). It felt like a sell when the year was proving a struggle for them some weeks and months ago but I held out not wanting to sell for a loss. If I could turn back time i would have been so much happier losing 10% rather 90%.
Firstly, I'm holder and intend to stay, I believe the future remains bright for this sector and CINE within this (although clearly not without it's challenges or heightened risk but this is reflected in the SP right now).
My experience of using the App this morning was mixed, being asked if I'm enjoying the Regal App half way through was a misstep CINE could easily resolve (I've reported it accordingly). But were I am left underwhelmed is the under utilisation of the App. Wow this is daft. It should be being leveraged to access, motivate and incentivise CINE's customer base. I am surprised at how the sector as whole seems to rely on Film distributors alone for raising a Cinema's profile. This feels like a real risk when all entertainment businesses are fighting for a shrinking customer wallet. And a risk that could mitigated with small investment in tech and customer value.
Don't shoot me for asking what might be a dumb question..please.
Can someone explain the Share Trades (and I don't mean blue v red), are these trades only through this platform or wider? many appear very small, this would I assume be some sought of automated trade would it? Finally, is there a way of looking at the day in summary?
Thanks

I'm new here and just wanted to say thank you. Reading up on past posts is very helpful. Likewise, treading carefully where contributors might, as you say, be "ramping" or "de-ramping". I bought in at 37.42 a while back and whilst I've seen it fall ever since, I never bought to sell swiftly. I believe this firm has a bright outlook if it survives, whilst some will not, others will and will benefit. It is of course a risk. Thank you once again for all the insights, will look out for the AGM outcome. Good luck @mountainous
