I don't think there has been any bad news regarding Barratt.

Re: PSN, I bought them 18/09/13 for £11.11 and sold a few weeks later for £12... Imagine how much better off I would have been If i just kept them and reinvested all the dividends back in and still had the shares now at a current price around £25. This is the reason I try not to sell anything now. I made the same mistakes selling Uniliver and easyjet and and numerous other shares.

Yes. motley fool are right half the time and wrong the other half. I don't really take much notice of analyst, they usually tell you to sell a share when its already at £5 after dropping from £7, and at £7 they were telling you to buy it.

My wife doesn't get near this computer :((.
I assume you don't take dividends out of an ISA

Bamps

Do you mean you had the dividends and now the the wife has them ?

umm, Barclays are terrible. I have bben with HSBC investadirect plus since 2012, it is fantastic. Dividends are always in account on the payment day before the market opens at 08.00am. If I wish to buy on American stock exchange I can and the trading reserve facilitys is great. I can not praise HSBC enough, anyone would think I have got shares in them, Oh hang on a minute I have and they are a great reliable dividend payer and pay quarterly which I like.

Are you looking at TW or BDEV ? I like a mix of both. More reason for BDEV to go up in next 3 months, they are a long way off their high of 690p+ last year around ex-dividend date, 33% off

TW special dividend day was today. Why do you have to wait 2 days to spend the money ? who do you have your account with ? 2 working days would probably mean next Tuesday. Ridiculous.

I used my TW dividend in my ISA to buy Barratt this morning at 515p, now touching 520p. These were less than 480p at the start of the week but nothing I could do then as I was waiting for the dividend payment today. I did buy in my normal account last week at 484p.

I am thinking 620p or more for BDEV before ex-divi day 25th October. That would be a 20% rise. The same 20% rise in TW would require a SP of 212p from todays 177p. I think more chance of 620p in Barratt. But remember I still have all my TW shares in my ISA, I haven't sold any.

I will be buying more Barratt tomorrow using TW special dividend. Should be a better % rise in the next few months compared to TW. Only 3 months till their normal divi + special, total over 34.4p. If there is a good rise I will sell before the ex-dividend date.

how many ?

6th July last year this share was 597p, by the 25th October (ex-divi day 26th Oct) it reached 706p.
Now it is 487p. Why. The dividend in less than 3 months will be 34p+. That alone is 7% of this price.

181p+ why. Is there some news i've missed ?

Next Wednesday

Your kind advice is good. I will take that as " sorry " cheers. Have a great weekend

Graham is correct at 18.3p this is made up of the following announced in the 15th May RNS which you can find in the links above:

Enhanced ordinary dividend driven by current performance and increased confidence in our ability to deliver future growth: increasing to approximately 7.5% of Group net assets, up from 5%, and equating to at least £250 million per annum (subject to shareholder approval each year), up from at least £150 million per annum

2019 special dividend announced of £350 million (subject to shareholder approval), taking 2019 total dividends to c.£600 million (an increase of 20%). Based on our current five-year expectations, and in current market conditions, we expect special dividend payments to remain comparable to the 2018 and 2019 payments
