Sorely tempted to do the same as you guys but resisted the temptation. Also wanted to buy into L&G but couldn't see anything in my portfolio I wanted to sell. Might do in a few days as other dividend payments are coming up.

Re AAL, expect it to fall tomorrow (2-3%?) as we wait for news but think a bid will be made and accepted at some point so will hold.

Not forgetting any fees for reinvesting. I had thought about buying Tesco shares from the "SD" but add about half a % investing fees and this deal seems even less of a "windfall"

When I do the calculation based on owning a 1000 shares there is a slight fall 0.09%.
So take today’s price of 242.95 (might have moved by now). So the value of 1000 shares is 2429.50
Now the dividend for 1000 shares will give you 509.30 and the 19 for 15 shares trade will mean your old 1000 shares is now 789. At today’s market price they have a value of 1918.03. Add the divi into it and the total is 2427.33 so a slight drop of 2.17 ( 0.09%) Not a lot but hardly the bonanza expected.
Same with any amounts of shares. So it appears that the best case scenario is take the divi and the price increases after that, will having a smaller number of shares help shareholders in any meaningful way. Don’t think it will with all other things being equal.
Will stay in just for the ride.

You and me both, Paul. "Got in" about 2 years ago at 130 something then sank like a stone, bought in again at 5.5 and getting towards that all important landmark of break even. Could sell out now but will probably keep going for the journey.

I have had two offers from ESL. Basic and Excess. I topped up about two weeks ago for 8.5 and they are the excess, the current holding I had is the basic. If I go through with both of these then that will be a ****load of shares. Not sure I want to do that at the moment. So my question is, if I do not accept this offer would the price automatically drop to around 5p from the 8.8 it is at the moment? This is a new one for me in my limited investment experience. Got until 22nd December ( basic ) and 31 December ( excess ) to decide.

It has already, just on 301 now. Not just dog food, you can get that in the supermarket. It is the other bits like the vets and the small pets sections that PETS stand out for me.

Fantastic update. All very positive despite YOU KNOW WHAT.
Nice to see they rewarded their staff with bonuses due to working during YKW.
Glad I bought back in a few months back just after a big fall ( April or May) , hopefully will keep going up.
Got to say I am always impressed every time I go into this store. People probably worry more about their pets than about themselves and the staff are always helpful and knowledgeable. Whether that is from training or recruitment I don't know.
anyway, onwards and upwards.

Re Craig30 No!!! But if you have some spare cash then who knows! I was looking to top up but gently gone off that idea during the day.

There is no way they will pay a dividend in the current climate. Think investors would freak out at that. Cannot see how the results will be good but a decent, upbeat review will be welcome. I think SGC has already taken a big hit with First results so don't see how the market hasn't built that factor in for SGC and what the results show tomorrow.

Couldn't agree more with this post.

Bloody hell, not expecting that . Just had a glimpse through the report and results look decent,its the outlook that they are concerned about. Think this company is robust, even if not the most positive statement. Kept the divi the same as previous years.
Will see how far this slides today and could buy in later, as always trying to predict the turn. :-)

Might wait to see what the company response is before lunging back into this. Bought in 2018 ish when an investment company ( cant remember which one ) sold out and the price went down to 105.
Like the company and gives all the necessary stuff to pet owners like myself. (all in one and a nice trip out for the kids )
Hopefully positive response to that report. ( accurate or not)

Why the big drop today? Down 8% on no news as far as I can see. Like you Shatter I sold in February at probably my biggest profit of any share and looking for opportunities of buying back in. Is this it?

I still haven't received my dividends from the first payment this year Exdiv 13 Feb, payment 23 March. Do you know if this has happened elsewhere or am I missing something? ( apart from the divi )
Been through the Shell website looking for a contact email address to raise the query but cannot find anything. Any suggestions?

I did not receive my divi on time ( Tuesday 23rd was payout day) . do you think they are delaying payment or have they scrapped it altogether?

Down over 12% today with no updates or disclosures in sector as far as I can see. Surely Coronivirus is not having this much of bigger impact on ten pin bowling as other areas.
Top up opportunity?

The other factor to consider here is off course currency conversion rates and the uncertainty leading up to the GE. Looking at the markets today they heavily favour the companies who report in dollars. ( Glaxo, AZN, miners ) Is this a trend at least up until 12 December? Thinking of topping up before the update tomorrow and as someone said below, if not there is a pretty decent divi on offer.

Sometimes you have got to ask what investor's really see. Decent statement, revenues on the north side of expectations, competitors struggling, 5% yield in a once per tear divi ( more after the fall today ) but a 5% fall on opening today. Like others here, topped up this morning so hoping it is a big bounce.

Int dividend butchered, surprised it is there at all given the results. Down from 17.9 last year to 7.8. Want to buy back in but think I will look elsewhere.

Been tracking this for ages and finally have enough cash to invest in it. Also recommended by the Mail or Telegraph last weekend. Why the big fall?, So far continuing into today. Results and forecast look decent so ??
