10%😂try 54%😢 and 12% holding of total portfolio🙄then we can have a chat🫣😂

Virtually all shares are down today, the FTSE is down, this has to be attributed to the current geopolitical events, coupled with the final results has caused this dip today imho.

All markets are down because of the obvious current situation, coupled with the results which are based on cost savings rather than improved turnover, however profit is profit imho, this now represents a Good buying opportunity, just doubled my holding, and may add more later if it keeps sliding down.

I bought some more yesterday on the drop, rather pleased to hold for a while and sell, I already hold a substantial amount which my average is £28.11, don’t want to sell the lot as where else do you get that sort of current dividend or CG that good at present? Happy to short a few.

Yes I know the share price is on an upward Trajectory and has been for a while, let’s hope that it accelerates to heady heights!

With the news of the deal with lost Soldier, and now the substantial director deals, the PSC’s in the pipeline, this share is going skyward-hopefully!?

Is it that fantastic? The new collaboration of the new company and its ceo is interesting, an offer of 100,000,000 new shares in UPL if the share price rises above a 10 day trading average of 5p, and a lock up clause of no selling of shares for twelve months, Your thoughts?

With the notice of a restructure and a a new listing on the NYSE do we think it’s a good idea or a bad idea? The BOD are in favour of the move.

It makes sense that they are going to set up a new DEC company in order to issue new shares, one for one basis to existing holders and then list on the NYSE, however I don’t get that they will also have a listing on the FTSE, or is it just in the transition period only? And then those shares cancelled in due course, and de listed?

Virtually all shares are down today, something to do with the current circus act coming to town on the 24th November, and the end of the US government shut down?

I had large holdings in LLOY, NWG & HSBA until recently, I decided to take the extremely good gains and sit on them until after the budget as I suspect we will see a drop in the markets and the banking sector, I may be wrong however I’m being cautious as the current government are capable of anything that doesn’t seem rational to the rest of us ATM! I have left the likes of PHNX, LGEN, M&G, ETC and other financial sector investments alone as I think that may see an uplift after the budget as the government want to stimulate growth in the markets and will try and encourage savers out of traditional cash ISA’s and in to investment ISA’s. All IMHO

Why the name change?

I have a Barclays account and received it on the 30th

I bought BATS at roughly the same time as IMB, Bats are currently 50% up, IMB are 74% up.

Currently Bats are 6.1% Div, IMB are 5.1% Div

Looking at the figures I would say that IMB have been the better investment for me, although history is not always a good indicator!

I hope so Cautionarytale as I have a nice short on this share!

I was given a tip last week that this share was just about to fly, I don’t usually listen to such mumbo-jumbo, however something is a foot! Just taken a small position!

Trek, you quote your current PF at a yield of 10.15pc, is that PA, or lifetime, and s that including capital growth as well as div? just curious.

I hold a substantial amount of shares in PHNX for Divs, currently 18pc of my PF

Sam, did the same yesterday before today’s further drop, made over 100% on NWG and Lloy, can’t complain too much at that sort of level!

Thanks dumb ass government yet again for striking a blow to the UK economy, just imagine how well it could be going with a different party in situ

Several months ago India pulled all of its physical gold reserves from out of the UK vaults, 102 tons I believe, I’d heard that money is pouring in to gold as its ‘real’ a commodity that can be traded as it actually exists, I dipped my toe in the water so to speak and invested a few k in physical gold, this was October last year, today it is up 25% wish I had invested a lot more! Someone somwehere knows what’s ahead.

Thank you FQ440MR for a well balanced and succinct answer, it would seem that Divmax just need to update their website!

I am a long term holder for the excellent dividends, but also like to see some capital growth so good to see some movement in the right direction since the start of this year.

Yes correct the only divided for 2025 is listed, Dividendmax normally predict future dividends for companies up to two years in advance, and have done so for ABDRN up until yesterday where they have removed future dividend forecast for 2025 and 2026 for ABDRN, I was wondering if anyone had information of 'future' dividends for 2025, other than the one posted already for ~EX div date 27th March 2025?
