Is there any indication of future. dividends payabe. after the . next one. which has already been confirmed?

Possible problems, high capex nextyear and lower prices for sale of. used. vans

Then why aren·t the directors. buying?

Your. opinion is iteresting and I also see. some uoside to the. sp but please. do not. consider the. so called analysts predictions - they knw nthing more then you and. i.

I do not believe. a dividend. cut is lilkely .The last time. I checked they had. 9 months. dividend. reserves

Ace o f Clubs. You shoud bear in mind that when one reaches a certain age (I am91) the. dividend income is far more important. than. capital growth. The Phoenix. divs have been brilliant and have nelped me to. enjoy a good life - lots of travel , help for children and grand children, house renovation etc.

Can someone advise if the. sp quoted here 0.54 0.55 is in. USD or sterling?

That article is an exact coy of one thy put out. around every. ex div date! Lazy writers, no checking of facts. Just ignore it - your. own research is far. better than reading this. rubbsh

Absolutely agree. Prob many. shareholders are pensioners like me and. depend on. high dividends. If they cut -- I sell

Agreed, I only made the comment because of an earlier post by "Clank"

Currently in Morocco I note that the majority of. young men smoke - and probably will be hooked. for. life.

Not. good for them but good for investors. Heavy cannabais. smoking too - I believe Bats are into cannabis through an investment in a. Canadian. company

A yield of c.10% should more than compensate for capital loss. 5 years at 10% = 50%. Bats. sp. unlikely to fall. that much.

I travel. the world a lot and. I assure you smoking is. still going. strong. Presently in Morocco where it is hard to find a non smoking male. I am in an apartment above a tabac and there is a constant stream of. customers. Then think of. China - 40% are smokers. Throughout. Africa. there is little or no education about the health problems which can arise.

With all of my REITS in only ever receve. 80% of the dividend

Possibly the best bargain in the whole renewables. sector

Insurance. companies will benefit. from lower rates as they have. to keep large amounts in. Gilts, which. should rise in price as rates. fall.

LWHL - can you. say what % of your portfolio. is in BATS? Just for interest. as I have. 4%

Suugest we think internationally. I travel extensively and. at oresent. am 3 months in North. Africa. I am amazed at the number if people smoking. I have an apartment. abive a "tabac" and there is a. constaant. stream of buyers.

I have 3 good friends. here- I am currently in Morocco- one Moroccan, one French. one. German - they all smoke. (not. me)

Most if the moroccan smokers. are. young men - and will probably be hooked. for life.

Then think of. China - 40% are. smokers.

It will be a long long. tie before. smoking is eliminated and as. consumption falls, prices will increase -and so will your. dividends.

There are some solid. looking buys today- several around. 35k. We can agonise and analyse as much as we. wish but basically it is still growing the business, itis geographically. diversified and the. dividend. is. covered. Ithinknthe last. trading anioucement was very positive considering the. headwinds faced by. all the"green". stocks. I am not. expecting miracles but my. advise is. to hang in there and collect the. dividends.Time. will improve the. situation especially when interest rates start. to . come down

Obviously. you have a good. opinion of your former. employer. Yes? Is that the reason for. your. investment in HSBC?

Yes

What. do you expect from politicians? They just. seek headlines - give little thought to the practicalities or the. consequences. . The. good brains are in commerce. or industry.
