y11-shx tomorrow is your last day, as on Monday 15th it goes XD. But I think the cut off is 16.00 and not close of trading so you may want to check with a broker that your plan will work in practice. JJ

With a potential 608,000 tons of copper. We could be wealthy. JJ

Pompey/Rodney apologies, have a nice day, and try to stay fit and well. JJ

Panderman, very good morning to you. I'm holding to my belief that the combination of SD and consolidation is going to see me in profit at the end of this month, with the one proviso that the markets don't collapse. I also believe that TSCO is slowly turning itself into a profitable business once more. I prefer OCDO for my deliveries but have tried TSCO and its better than Waitrose in terms of freshness/shelf life. This all impacts on how I view my investment here. JJ

I have been invested with RBS, and AML when they went for consolidation. RBS was a damp squib, but the recent AML has worked well in my view. Time will tell in the case of TSCO. JJ

Why would Dan give away his cash in a SD, clearly he won't. He wants to grow and develop his bank. When he is ready to pay a dividend it won't be a SD. Dividends are for those who want 'regular' income not one off payments. JJ

If they, whoever they are, offer 5p that will do me. And good luck to all the clever staff with TRX. JJ

You plonker as Del Boy would say. No harm intended, insert a smiling emoji here. JJ

prussell1963, as I see it today I have 1000 shares and own X% of TSCO, and after consolidation I will have 789 shares but I will still own X% of the Company. In valuing the Company today perhaps we should look upon the SD fund as a debt which TSCO has to clear, with the monies being ring-fenced and set to one side; and so importantly it is ignored by the 'markets' when pricing the shares today/tomorrow. In due course the SD is paid out, the value of TSCO has NOT altered, hence my 789 shares will I've calculated be priced at around 313p( still allowing me to own X%). Lets hope I'm right. JJ
P.S. Buy now if my view makes sense-THIS IS NOT ADVICE-good luck all.

Awfulreturns, hope there is a profitable future for all holders here, and you in particular, the experience has I Imagine been very painful. I can show empathy as it happened for me with NWG. JJ

Theo, FYR for both MTRO & LLOY are out on 24th Feb; 'wonder where we will be by then and at the end of the month??? JJ

And that puts the share price after consolidation at about 313p based on todays of 247p. And that's why I have bought TSCO, and as long the share starts trading above 247p I have not lost anything . JJ

Cud, I see now what you are saying, perhaps call it 16%, but of course there are costs, so your 15% is fine. JJ

How is that 15%? Kindly elaborate. JJ

Neil, the new coal mine has strict conditions attached i.e. it will close in 2049, and before that if our green energy is fully delivering our needs. The cynic in me will say that I will believe that when I see it but I'm prepared to accept the terms of the deal. Even 10 years ago a business would not have contemplated such a deal. But here we are its been costed and will close in 2049 and possibly before. Just wish I was younger and so likely to see all the innovation. Had someone come out and give me a quote for a mini wind turbine which would meet 100% of my electricity usage and would cost me £4,000 to install. Also it will probably allow me to run an Electric car paying nothing more for the charging. Exciting times. JJ

The special div. and share consolidation; for those who may have had some doubts as to how you are impacted go and take a look. There are clear examples and explanations on page 12/13 of the document. Perhaps I should have done my homework before but it has clarified just what my entitlement is going to be. For example if you hold 1000 shares you will get a dividend of £510 less a few p. And after the consolidation you will have 789 shares i.e. 1000x15, then divided by 19, and rounded down. From that you get the full SD on your shareholding before consolidation. Hope that removes any doubts. JJ

Then 3rd day lucky I'm thinking, and hoping. JJ

Nate, I was probably being a bit of a 'grumpy old git' , good luck, you have clearly done something right to have such a holding.
My view of NWG at this moment is, it has further to rise in '21 and fully expect to see it back at 250p, or more.
For you Nate, if a dividend is declared the tax treatment of the dividend will no doubt be a consideration. If you sold the shares prior to it going XD then CGT is the issue. Whereas after it goes XD you have income tax on the div. but you could hold off selling the shares, but sell some within the CGT allowance. IMO you really ought to get professional advice now, so you are prepared and take the best action taking into account your personal circumstances. I'm not expecting that all the shares are held in your ISA/SIP, but if they are then it would appear your problems are largely resolved. Atb, JJ

Can I be allowed to revise my forecast???
Enjoy your day all TRX holders. JJ

Chilting, Click &collect could be an area to develop and possibly with a partner(s) who isn't a competitor e.g. Robert Dyas. The 'click' would be a hub where stuff can be collected but with a M&S food hall alongside. Suggest if the Royal Mail were to develop such a hub then a M&S food hall attached would again have a lot of potential. Just love thinking about this sort of stuff, we could reshape M&S. JJ
