I hope they buy mine today!!!

Results next Tuesday, consensus profits 7% down, but dividend held. This is some rise were seeing, though after today I feel we may have a small slide tomorrow.

It seems a nats happier today!

seems impressed with the new clothing range!!!

All AGM resolutions passed.

Incorrect, it's the same as the yiel, the higher the share price after the announcement of the dividend the lower the yield. If you have a dividend that is worth say £500 and you are in the DRIP scheme your £500 will buy more shares at say £3.40 per share than it would at today's price of £3.91. I trust this clarifies.

Shares are purchased in the Market under the scheme, and we know the value of the dividend. If the share price increases in the run up to the dividend date the buying power of your dividend is decreased.

Great rise over the last 5 days but having a negative effect for anyone who is signed up for the DRIP scheme!!

Another good set of results.

Additional shares are only created under a SCRIP scheme. A DRIP purchases shares in the market therefoe no dilution.

What a waste of time that appointment has turned out to be.

Welcome

exactly what i said.

Not if you bought them on the ex-divi day.

Today is the record date. You would have had to have owned them prior to the ex-dividend date which was the 3rd.

SL. went ex-dividend today, hence the drop.

Thanks for your thoughts. I think they are worth a little punt if only to see what the first dividend payment is like. Cheers.
