You're comments are a delight to read. 12, 5677, 322 ,664, 3354, 3453, 5684674 There's some more random numbers for your next post Unless of course Neil gave you those numbers himself? Hang on - I'll shout across the office and ask if he knows you.
But that's why we look at 'yield' not the dividend. A company can pay out 0.0001% of it's profits, and that might be an 8% yield. So you can have the best of both worlds. Also dividends are paid FROM profits but WITH cash Try paying your bills with profits, see how that goes. Microsoft have huge negative retained earnings - but still pay dividends Redde makes cash, beautiful cash - more than it could ever invest in anything other than a stupid acquisition - so it returns it to Shareholders. If Redde came back to me tomorrow and said 'Would you mind buying some more shares? We paid out loads of dividends" - I'd give them a blank cheque.
How much will Redde get paid for recovering a police car? How much will that be impacted by any macroeconomic factor you outlined? Will we stop recovering police cars because some sovereign wealth fund is less wealthy? (Clue: No.) British society won't just stop because some rich guys got poorer. It's exactly companies like Redde that protect us from global economic issues. Redde doesn't care what China thinks. It's too busy making (English) money
Sure, here's an answer: The company could be regulated out of existence tomorrow, in which case there will be no more dividends - ever. It's entirely subjective. The only thing you can trust is the RNS - and it's often misleading.
Advantage here - for private investors - is overlooked It's the fact that they'll have main market listing Institutions will start to deliver some money and they will have to start being more rigorous on corporate governance Great for current shareholders Will go from ebing slightly risky, unregulated cash machine To slightly less risky, slightly more regulated cash machine
The point of the stock market is to allocate capital to companies. Shareholders are just an inconvenient part of that process. Equity has less obligations than debt - that's the only reasons shareholders are entertained. Debt is cheaper and harder to raise - ask yourself why banks allocate debt and don't just buy lots of equity.
They are house broker Would tell you they moved into selling smoke if all their stores were on fire - and should be able to capitalize on the ashes by FY Would take Liberum with pinch of salt Hot weather is not an excuse for poor dog food sales - dogs eat all year round - people are buying food somewhere Similarly toys- if they don't sell dog toys in summer, when will they sell them? Weather argument doesn't hold up I'm afraid MV
Don't forget the Golden Rules: 1) He who has the gold, makes the rules 2) Don't lose money 3) See rule 2 4) When the Motley Fool tips a stock, it's a good time to sell, or at least get your dog to back up the recommendation before you act on it.
Labour are your best friend in respect of GVC Let's think about who gambles - or specifically, who places £10 bets or is incentivised to open an account with a £10 bonus It's not the Tory voters in their ivory towers Benefits Britain is great for Gambling companies - down the job centre, sign on, pack of Bennys and Hedges, pint, cheeky bet on the 3.10 at Kempton. All funded by the taxpayer It's a beautiful life under Labour - I own a huge amount of gambling, booze, fags stock - because that's what this country consumes - even more so when it's paid for by handouts
Because there are two sides to every transaction - a buy and a sell. It depends at which price it was executed - Without getting too technical - if it was executed below the underlying mid price, it will be recorded at a sell. (Usually you'll buy at the offer eg above mid - therefore will be recorded at a buy) This is generally an indication that the sellers have a bank of trades waiting, that the MM needs to fill. I'd watch for some share price weakness this afternoon.
