Thanks Peakview. I think you're right. It is quite possible that the buyer simply increased today his investments in the company which is undoubtedly very good sign of SP quick recovery. Brentharg and old badger: Good thoughts too. Good luck to all

I don't quite understand why to wait for today's price instead of buying yesterday. And geting huge dividends with the real and greater profitability than today's deal with its proposed gain. Is it the buyer thinks that he can soon get more than 5.83% guaranteed profit received as dividends? Despite of good saying that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush the buyer, as it seams to me did exactly opposite. Maybe in hope to get even much lower price today? Or is it sell wrongly shown as buy? Anyway, let's see, what can be gained from this very surprising in my opinion purchase. And if it is a purchase I also convinced in quick SP rise to its pre-divi level.

Surprisingly there are no big sales and buyers are dominating. Which means that current SP fall was indeed made artificially and will quickly recover to 307p or more during couple of weeks.

Yes, dfslicker it is right thing to do. I will also buy if price falls back to 291p or lower.

It will be tomorrow, Thursday. If you want to sell your shares and still receive a dividend you need to sell on (or after) the ex-dividend day.

Good post, Drunkinestor. I would never expect that SP of the company with such good key fundamentals as revenue, dividend yield and dividend cover can fall just on the eve of ex-div. And 325p is absolutely reasonable price taking in account that SP had already been at that level on 25 of October. Atb.

I'm wonder too. Most ever strange shares I have had of the company that pays such a great didvidend but SP falling just two days before ex-div. I will definetly stay and get my dividends but could anybody explain what is the problem?

However, it is hard to understand why someone has decided to sell today more than 70K shares at so low price of 313.50p. When SP soon and most likely will reach its much higher ex-div level, not to mention ignoring more than 12K divi. A bit strange really.
