Thought it looked cheap yesterday for any recovery

On the markets. It seem the EU have decided on supporting "global value chains" rather than export bans and UVL, despite her rhetoric, was defeated in a vote last night.

Rumours, however abound of a deal being completed this weekend.

The EU need to be very careful for Novavax is stalling on signing any deal with the EU (and so will others) and Astra Zenica is getting peeved off at the bad publicity from the EU when they are actually providing globally their vaccine for cost price. They are talking now about higher pricing for some. Ultimately it is contract law that wins the day and they should be grateful for any and all assistances. A deal over the weekend should smooth things over.

My top up "Trevors" at 56p are doing pretty well imho.

Sometimes just shut the screen and ignore the derampers.

Take it on the chin, or if it really means that much then open another account with a broker that does collect scrip dividends and put the exact same money into them and buy, then manage thereafter what you holdings or account you want to keep. Perfectly within your rights to complain and I can't see why it is such a problem for those who look after your accounts and your money. It should only mean a Corporate action for you to tick one of two boxes. You would have thought it was to their advantage ultimately if you gain more shares and they grow and that leads to more investments and trade. Ultimately your choice what you do though.

stevenmerrett, short tracker (and the FCA short positions daily update) only publish short positions over 0.5%. Only a marginal reduction on short tracker in the last few days.

I think what is more likely the case is "stealth" closing whereby those holding under the radar short positions of less than 0.5% may have closed their positions.

You can then if you wish invest or go long, and buy up to 3% of the companies shares, again in a stealth capacity and not have to notify, and thereby without radar detection.

Have a number of subsidiary, associated or affiliated companies and I suspect you can multiply things.

Absolutely bizarre in this day and age that you have such massive volume of shares traded, with both sells and buys and that there has not been one increased holdings RNS.

A substantial amount were also bought between 38p and 43p so let it correct itself back up in due course.

*Ex- Div 1 April.
*Dividend gets paid on the 13th May

Financial calendar

Ex-dividend date (SA): 31 March 2021

Ex-dividend date (UK & Ireland): 1 April 2021

Record date: 6 April 2021

Final dividend payable: 13 May 2021

Some imho not properly thought out chatter on here this morning.

Why would you sell after it goes ex-dividend? Yes you could sell your initial holding and pay the transaction fee but you won't get the Scrip shares until after its approved at the AGM and until the Payment date which is in May. Should you then wish to sell your scrip shares then you will be selling another roughly 5% and have another set of transaction costs.

Just additionally why would you sell on ex Div date of 1 April when the Government decision on shops reopening is the 5 April.

Sell if you like though.

Is who has bought something like 120 Million shares - which is roughly half the trading volume done between 42p and 32p. Its a market and for the sellers there will have been buyers.

There is no guarantee that shares will go down when dividends are paid. I have interests in MCRO and on ex-dividend date they didn't flinch an inch and stayed the same. Likewise another recovery stock.

Yes there is a scrip dividend but there is also a cash equivalent with a much lower cash equivalent of only 0.2p and 1/10th of the scrip. Not everybody will elect for the scrip, Most PI's accounts as we are reading have their holdings in HMSO held in nominee accounts, and most don't seem to be offering it.

Happy to be proved wrong but I don't think it will adjust as much as some think.

Is what they are calling it. The more concilliatory and win-win approach you would expect being good for UK shares with a foot in both camps. Especially ones that have taken a "hit" off any potential vaccine war imho.

Morgan22 a few of the brokers positions were covered on here the other day and I think in the not too distant past someone had communicated with iweb and got a response from them via their webchat. Worth checking back.

Good Evening M00la. Thankfully we are out of the EU as it looks like a complete shambles on the vaccine rollout. Took them about 3 months after everyone else to authorise certain vaccines and probably have no idea how many doses their independent member countries have had to order themselves in their own deals outside the EU. Then think they can queue jump. I even read the EU had a meeting in Russia earlier this week reference the Sputnik vaccine and it is going to take them at least another month to go back out there to finalise things. That's another month!!

It seems though that the short sighted rhetoric of earlier today seems to have completely backfired on them and now they have had to come out with a conciliatory response and a joint statement has been issued with them working to a "win win" situation. Given we have premises in Europe a win win for both will to our advantage.

HMSO seems to have fallen quite a bit over the last few days with this "vaccine wars" rhetoric and the thought this might slow down our vaccination programme.

Given what looks like positive developments with the Serum Institute of India and the more conciliatory EU stance it looks like it won't be too long until things are fully back on course.

You are absolutely correct that we should also watch the Novavax vaccine on which we have 60 Million doses on order and which was being produced on Teeside. production was slated to start in February, so ready to go on approval.

It would appear that Lord Eddie Lister's mission to India on behalf of the Uk Government to remedy the supply of 5 Million AZ vaccine doses to the UK may have been successful. Worth keeping tabs on any developments.

On the 22nd

Nearing 10% for those who shrewdly picked up on the treeshake.

MM's traded the Times article to get stock. But the deal struck with W.B still reflects a very good theatre window and especially for Blockbusters + new commercialisation terms will be to CINE, and replaces a standoff situation where CINE were not going to show any WB films for not respecting the theatre window.

Took it down far too low imho.
Realisation that nobody is selling.
Why would they?
Net Asset Value of 82p
Most happy to pick up an additional 5% shares with the Scrip Dividend
Then wait for the metrics and numbers to improve
As they should do with Uk shops reopening permanently and irreversibly.
Far better and improved situation with footfall, revenues, profits and improved rent payments,

It was at anything with 98p on it.

Better day today

*Reopening Date for the US
*Reopening Date for UK should coincide with the Road Map
*Opening into a new release - Mortal Combat from Warner Bros. (Trailer looks quite good)
*Big Big plus being the resolution of the position with Warner Brothers Studios. Cine's previous stance having been that they would not show any films in their movie theatres that did not respect the theatrical window. New agreement forged respecting theatrical windows with what looks like a longer theatrical window for Blockbusters and potentially better terms.

Not surprised at the games today as overall its the RNS that people have been waiting almost a year for. Reopening dates, backed by vaccine programmes working beyond expectation, in the two main markets. It also puts the Warner Bros films back into the Cinemas and will enhance revenues this year. The SP took a hit when WB announced its service.

No doubt all in good time it will be given back.

kitchensinkit - "RNS MS late reporting un helpful today to the SP."

Helpful though if you were trying to pick up stock?
