I think the EX high will only be relevent for the lucky few who bought in the banking doom mid march circa 220s, or if you heavily averaged down, I may have to sit this one out and just take the heafty Dividend
Bigger run up towards August, you will need more shares for a sensible return as half the Divi, might stay in this time, if inflation keeps coming down might be a better run up to august
RE Robleo, yes similar stratagy, unfortunatley im not sure this time it will get anywhere near the 280, I managed 278 last August then lost my nerve, I may just sit this one out and take the Divi but we shall see
I remember when 240s was a cheap entry let alone heading toward ex time, still hoping for a jump, not becouse im selling but I think they are worth more than they at present
Ftse isnt far off where it was in 2018, I will just keep the Dividends as income , certainly wont be re investing the money, cant see the point this time
Sadly its looking nearer the 200s same happened to Aviva , since the banking debacle its not the usual run up ive got used to although the ftse was a lot lower last year LnG was in the 270s
Stock market falls on prospect of Biden getting to old to give a shte Stock market falls on prospect of french people actually to doing a days work stock market falls on prospect of scotland prefering indian food instead of Haggis And so it goes on
Ive been a long term holder of many companies that have bought back their shares and to date it hasnt made any difference to the share price, I dont know why but maybe in ten years time you might benefit , certainly wont matter a jot in the next five years at the very least.
without the inflation and dia*******s banking sector, this would still be in the 265s, best to ignore the sp as the whole market is down the toilet at the moment
