And back down. It's like the ultimate pessimist.

Thanks GI. It's also back to tiny volumes this morning which is probably not helping

In fact, looking at the movement today anyone would think it had already gone ex

The dividend appears to have not had a positive impact on the stock price. On that basis, excluding the possibility of a huge run up this afternoon (which seems highly unlikely now). Does anyone else feel that this going ex divi tomorrow may also not do anything to the price?

Thanks BS, that's a really interesting snippet

Thanks Kinggrav. It would be great if they could actually drop some positive news today or alongside going ex divi tomorrow to really help the momentum

Has anyone else been in a stock like this where it's really unvalued and goes ex divi, but doesn't drop back? I'm sure there was one I was in last year that actually closed above the previous close price despite going ex dividend, but can't remember for sure.

Yes, it's the Uncrossing Trade so isn't a "sell"

JG, you were really pessimistic about Petrofac before it's circa 80% rise day (I appreciate it has slipped from that somewhat, but is still well up from the lows).

This is surely a better investment?

You're right KG. Some will have been in 10% profit this morning so might have banked.

I would say I feel sorry for those people who bought this morning at 126+, but then I'd bite their arm off for that price compared to the price I'm in for

The buying has dried up. This was at over 700k trades and was still over 126. Now it's been dropped back down with around 200k trades.

lol JG, you always bring the optimism. I completely understand why though with our history here.

Indeed it does Primetime https://www.sustainable-bus.com/news/national-express-west-midlands-zero-emission/

An era of ultra-low interest rates will return as soaring inflation becomes a historical blip, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said.

In a boon to homeowners, the Washington-based organisation, said that an ageing population coupled with low productivity will tame inflation and lead to interest rates returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Wow, only 2 trading days until we go ex divi and it's still trading at these levels.

I don't think I've seen this shared here https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65177420.amp

I wasn't aware of this. Seems there's a long way to go, but it's good to see them attempting to expand their geographic reach https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/six-firms-including-2-foreign-entrants-vie-for-bukit-merah-jurong-west-bus-routes

How many of these will we see today from all those people who were hoping this will be held back until the next tax year?

I wonder if this stock would be just as easy for them to manipulate upwards
