All needs to be taken in perspective. Re: Dividend, I could see an announcement on this coming before the end of next week. Why? Firstly, because CAML traditionally provide a Q3 update early-mid October and this is natural time for providing such an update on the dividend. Secondly, because the parameters set out in the interims for determining the 'when' to make the announcement have now been officially achieved (I quote: "We had therefore planned to reinstate our dividend. However, given the recent TSF4 leakage, we have decided to delay declaring our interim dividend pending further clarity on the likely cost and timing on rectifying this issue, and we aim to provide an update in the near term").
Given that actions are scheduled to take approximately 1 week, I can see management holding off the Q3 update until these key actions are completed and then providing both the Q3 & Dividend update simultaneously... For me, it's not a matter of IF, it's a matter of WHEN.
Otherwise, CAML SP needs to be taken in perspective with both copper prices and the technicals. Copper took a steep dive as China went into hibernation for Golden Week last week. CAML SP has a strong relationship to this. Additionally, CAML traditionally moves slowly in any direction - especially when heading north. It's managed to close above the 4-HR 50MA for the first time today since the drop. That's a key threshold crossed. We're now sitting on the rising 100-day MA, but have both the 50-day and 200-day MAs creating a ceiling at 167/168p respectively. 160p has been an important threshold to close over as traders using the Fib retracement would have been using 160 as an initial ceiling for retracement. 169 has the make-up of being another one... Anyway, my point is, CAML has loads of technical barriers to cross before it can break into the 170s and above. It's possible that dividend news may make CAML "gap up", but who knows how long it will really take... Eitherway, pretty confident that when I look at the SP 12 months from now it will be closer to 250 than 150 (assuming commodity prices haven;t crashed between now and then)
All the best (+IMO of course)
