RE: FIDELITY DOES NOT ALLOW SCRIP!!!!22 Mar 2021 11:45
Who ever you buy your shares from, get onto them and tell them you want the 2p scrip dividend payment otherwise they will pay you the 0.2p cash payment.
Get in contact with the Hammersons investor relations, they might be able to do advise if there is another option. I wouldn't give the divi away because they can't be bothered to pay it to you.
The market makers can lower or higher the price to create a market. If no body is buying or selling they will lower or higher the price. But if they are short of shares they can drop the price to create panic selling.
