More games being played here this morning. Bid dropped to 0.76 flushed out some A trades at 0.80 & 0.81, spread now 0.90 - 1.00 and 0.9955 paid. Who knows where it will go next?

I've seen similar comments on SUPR after their last raise (not from you adv11), I guess I see it slightly differently to you and others. Still, each to his/her own, sorry to see you go. Can I ask, which company(ies) have you decided to invest in now you've sold up here? Fwiw, I'm also in EAT which is currently paying a decent dividend and has been rising steadily for some time. Hope you'll pop back from time to time, see how we're getting on? K

fdh all looking pretty good here isn't it? BKS appear to be on a much more solid foundation now but the hit has only worked out at c. 2.5% which is impressive. The only slight niggle I have is companies paying out a dividend then asking for more cash for working capital, makes absolutely no sense to me. I know it's only a tiny amount but nevertheless, why give cash away then ask for it back? Probably just me lol. All in all though, solid news & I will look to add to my relatively small investment here.

Agreed, for now though I think they are seeing so many opportunities that more discounted cash-calls are inevitable until the Trust reaches optimal size, judged by the directors. And that could be some way off yet. So I suspect these dips are going to keep happening for several years yet.

This isn't a growth share Panderman. If you want capital growth, beyond covering inflation, you're in the wrong place. This is a dividend-paying share with a pretty decent yield for us oldies.

adv11, "Raise cash to pay dividends.". Can you explain what you mean? Do you have any evidence for this?
My first slight concern with this is the longer-term yields on some of these investments. The returns look amazing at this stage, which is presumably why the company keeps asking for money so they can keep buying them up, but will it last? Surely other players will want a slice of the pie and competition could increase?
The second is having to use the PrimaryBid app to buy more shares. This seems to be a feature of all PrimaryBid offers these days, and presumably precludes brokers from making bids on our behalf? I'm going to wait a few days this time though, I'd already applied through PrimaryBid last time before my broker invited me to apply through them.
First cash call at above £1.00, bodes well for capital growth in the future. I'm hoping to see 8p in dividends by next year, based on the additional capacity being added. All in all, very positive about this. Forms a significant part of my income generation going forward.

Bobsie, take it from me, you got off lightly!

Good. When?

Dream, you were right the first time unfortunately. It'll turn again at some point, probably with no news and for no apparent reason. Such is the lot of a SAR LTH.

Cheers Infor, hope you have a great Easter too. All looking good here at the moment, if TW are able to restore the special dividend too at some point next year then it really will be up, up & away! K

Nice to see this back to 4p. Pity it took a 1/40 share dilution to get there.

More April Fool's nonsense! The ex-dividend date is today (1st April). The shares are trading ex-dividend today, now. The record date is 6th April, which might be where the confusion arises.

This might be why. Today's Shares Magazine features "Three last minute stock ideas for your ISA". They are BHP, Halfords & TW:
"Housebuilders have been in vogue following the stamp duty holiday handed out by Rishi Sunak in 2020 and a Government guarantee on 95% mortgages more recently, playing into Taylor Wimpey’s hands.
Annual house price growth has been supportive, with average selling prices rising to 6.9% in February, according to Nationwide. That paved the way for a record high average UK property price of £231,061.
Taylor Wimpey’s return on capital employed and return on equity have both averaged 17% over the past five years."

santiago, if you're replying to Hollybean, I think you need to read their post again. You seem to have read the word "now" as "not".

Point taken. I was just trying to defend Fadec from what I felt was unnecessary criticism. I'll leave it there.

Every day's a bad hair day for me Mafuta lol. This thread will have gone by morning so you can ignore it...

cobalt, it reminds me, and others, not to take anything written on here too seriously. You don't know me or my agenda, I don't know you and yours. That's the way it'll stay.
Oh, & when the pubs are open, try singing it at the top of your voice with some mates to the tune of Handel's Hallelujah! I did, it's very liberating, although a long time ago now...

cobalt, has it occurred to you (or any of the other grammar police on here) that English might not be Fadec's first language? Does this render his research and comments meaningless? No, I don't think so. Even if he just doesn't have very good grandma (that's a deliberate typo, just so you know...), what does it matter? Feel free to ignore (or filter) him. In the mean time, the rest of us will continue to value his contributions.

0.85 - 0.90 now, spread probably won't get much tighter than this based on past experience.

They must have been listening esaro, spread now 0.80 - 0.90. K
