Might buy back into Glencore when they go below 445p.
See what next week brings.

I held Glencore shares until 13th September and expecting a dividend.
Checking via Dividend history on my Halifax Share Dealing account and still no record of dividend being paid.
Guess they are running late?

Ah the tax haven of Baar Switzerland in canton of Zug.
I lived and worked there for 4 years a decade ago.
Paying income tax of 15% (including NI equiv and council tax equiv) on a six figure salary was very satisfying :-)
VAT at 5% and 8% was ok also

My first dividend payment, so how late should I expect it to be paid?

I wanted to sell at 506p.
It was hovering around 502p when I left home this morning for a hospital appointment.
Saw they were 507p while I was at hospital.
When I got home they back to 502p until close Grrrrr

Fingers crossed they will hit 507p or above Tuesday.

Tell me about brain fog.

I’m on chemo at the moment and get chemo brain …
Gone from remembering PI to 100 decimal places for fun to trying to remember my mobile phone number. ..lol

Thanks …

It’s 814 shares not 824, but I can do the maths now.

What dividend should I expect on a holding of 814 shares ?
Based on currency rate in previous post.

Thanks

So far only dropped yesterdays gain.

Too late for this race …..but maybe next time :-)

A pattern maybe?
Buy the day prior to DRIP and sell end of day for DRIP?

Just bought in again at 253p.

I bought 90% of my shares at between 218p and 226p.
Topped a few weeks ago at 257p.
If they go below 250p then plan to invest more.

Let them short ….but they could get burnt :-)

I bought more at 257p a few weeks ago. So dividend was baked in.

In reply to Wayne1976 - I understand that if company buys back shares then number of shares they have to pay a dividend of day 4% on reduces aka liability.
If you have debt that’s costing you say 1% (another liability) then it makes sense to close down the liability that costs you 4%.
Plugging pension hole with money you can invest for better returns than it costs you to plug hole e via continued debt also makes sense.
Well that’s my view on it anyway.

I always remember when I had a tracker mortgage and it’s rate of interest went down to .5% (1/2%).
I had £100k to pay off debt, however I left money invested paying me 3% at the time.
Mortgage was paid off scales tipped the other way.

Share buy back is excuted by a selected commercial bank and they buy at prudent prices aka as low as possible.

I think as I have stated on a different thread that these are are a brilliant set of results. Tesco had the size and ability to ride out the headwinds. The outlook is pessimistic but I think it’s being over cautious due to events that happens many years ago.

I bought a another chunk of shares this morning and I will either take a quick flip on this chunk or leave them as a long term investment. Dividend is still very healthy.

Main buy ins for me were approx 30 months ago between 218p and 228p.

I have bought in just over a 30 months ago between 218p and 228p.
Just bought a few more at 256p and I will flip a quick profit on these if they bounce back over next 2 to 3 weeks or hold regardless.
The business looks healthy and has the size to ride out headwinds.
Share buy back of £750 million and large increases in dividend shows confidence.

That’s why I’d didn’t sell at 300p. Wife said do you need the money and they pay a good dividend. Also are analyst still marking as a buy?
So the answers were ;
No, yes, yes .

I bought about a year and 5 months ago between 218p and 228p , so still in profit at the moment.
However I do regret not selling when they broke through 300p.
