Hi Seen It.......... yes a good effort on Friday . Its a a share we can sit comfortably with if it dips up and down a bit ....... divis keep coming.

GL all

Are all All things ok with you GS? Opt

It looks like dividend income shares are being bought.

On a long term basis dividend compounding is winner

Yes that's right Seen-N -D its all looking good for next week ex divi. Have a good weekend all

Yes Hi Taverham its been a winner up to now and i believe it will continue.

I haven't even bothered trading it as its in a relatively tight range.
I just pick up some more now and again on the dips. GL all

Yikes..... Just looked at this superb increase today a lovely green candle on the charts .
CSN is my longest term hold share.
I bought into this in 2014 for dividend income and it hasn't disappointment on that front It was one of those buy and hold types of shares but hasn't had a lot of growth of late. but continued to pump out divis all through the pandemic.
Would be great to see this get back to £4 and beyond . In the meantime the dividends continue and increase annually.

Taken from Half year report .

John Deane, Group Chief Executive commented



"The interim dividend increase of 3% to 7.88p we have announced today is our
17(th) annual increase which is an enviable track record.



"I have been pleased with our continued financial stability during the period
combined with further asset value growth being delivered. The clear
expectation of future divisional dividend remittances means I am pleased to
report our dividend growth strategy remains unchanged.



"We completed another acquisition in the Netherlands and have successfully
transferred the policies onto the systems of Waard. We continue to actively
seek out and engage on opportunities in our core markets and other appropriate
territories and are increasingly optimistic that there are good opportunities
for us.



"Our closed books continue to provide a strong and reliable source of cash
generation and dividend. I am also encouraged by the material recovery in
Scildon's surplus levels which creates significant future dividend potential.

Yes seen_it_D_ ........ some surprising movement and volume on this share today for no obvious reason.

As you say could be sentiment.

Ive been a holder of CSN for a good few years and the dividends it has kicked out have been truly amazing.
Whilst they continue ill hold but always nice to see the SP increase

bald eagle most investors in here are happy to see this share go up and down.
When its down we buy on the dips, when its up we take profits and then reinvest those profits again on the dips.
Its a market but with this share if it languishes in the lows for a period of time we are still happy as its churning out a brilliant dividends Basically its a win win share.

well done LGEN, very happily invested here, cracking dividend, whats not to like

DFS ill go back and look ......... Lloyd's results today all good but SP all bad remember i said don't hold your breath. the only thing Lloyds are any good at is BS and sticking a black horse on TV adverts....

RDSB results today much better and a chat with Armani

A lot of detail there Boyobach I agree it should to begin with consolidate between the last consolidation 1450 to 1520 .
Then whack up the gap up to 1600.
I guess it depends on how much profit taking happens today. and then general sentiment, plus how many funds buy back in for pension divis............ Looking at the volume it looks un - manipulated so far. Ill be interested to see the volume at the end of the day.. Yep as they say, when you get on the tube .... Mind the gap

Hi Armani good to see you, hope all is well in your part of the world, I look forward to your email...

PS Armani I wouldn't worry, the investing and trading world is awash with "Should have" best deleted from ones vocabulary. lol

Boyobach Yes the gap up is significant but there were also a couple of gap downs off resistance from 1450 on the 13th July Plus if it does fall back hopefully the share buy backs will push it back up .
I've noticed that on FX pairs gaps nearly always get filled at some point but not always on shares.
So its not "watch this space" but "watch this gap"

Thanks Barrieprov and its all positive.. Divi up and buybacks are back, so we can hang on in now .

GL all

Yes close enough barrieprov I estimate at the current rate $US to GBP the divi equates to 70 pence P/A any body concur?

At long last and good news for us pre pandemic holders

DFS....... do you mean the new non excec "diversity " OBE and MBE ?

If its sold what will they do with the money, refurbs, more share buy backs. A special dividend would be nice

For goodness sake ....Friday was bad but today stock markets in free fall and actually not for any "real" reason ( just loads of usual media hype)

Don't let the Market makers have your shares it will pick back up at some point
