Indeed a 25% return but what will the SP be on 1st April -the ex date ? Ihave received notification from my broker Hoodless Breenan to reply not later than 2nd April if I want the 10p Rights shares -these most certainly do not qualify for the May dividend. Of course you can get the divi if you buy in the market before close on 31st March and you get your money in May. What will Segro shares be worth then? More or less than 10p. Comments welcome !!!Pat

Yes you can buy them at around 26p and get the 5.4p divi. Ex date 1st April .But you don't get it on the new Rights shares that wil be issued. Big problem do you sellthe nil paid and see if the SP goes down -perhaps they won't but often they do. Or buy the rights and sell half later to get some of the capital back if they go up. Pat

Our posts crossed. Maybe a casualty of RBS mess. Would have thought this is something RBS could have better supported instead of a few of their other little ventures.The number of shares in issue multiplied by the share price is the value currently priced in and to be compared with the value of assets.I am sure youare right this will be sold at a price .! Pat

Thanks for that. Curtains for sure -just a matter of how much will be offered -evaluation of assets.Yes it is a gamble as you say unless you know something. Good Luck Pat

Is this company not in administration ? I am confused. Looking at share information and their website this looks like the position as creditors gave up on it in January.? Remember once buying this and being jittery then sadly missed that rise to 900p. Might it ever happen again ? Pat

This company makes the CANS that you see everywhere -worlds largest producer. Recent good results and divi in June were helped by $ strengrth against £ -good hold for long term as boozing will always find customers.Also makes packaging for other products\ including pharma. Pat

Food prices don't go down Tate & Lyle sugar 93p a kilo -gone up a lot since November. Remember it at 52p abot 4 years ago when SP price about 269p. True other cheaper beet sugar producers and noticed one selling 1.5 kilo for £1 in Poundland which undercuts Tate quite a lot. European Commission interference in this market has been a drag but margins set to improve. Not the only thing they do -they provide othersugary products for food industry and drinks. Also involved in wheat and ethanol -a modest recovery in oil price and that is another engine restarted in this companies global business. Buy on any weakness for dividends and capital recovery in due course. Pat

Think this stock is undervalued but needs patience -I have some frustrations with it but cannot fault it as a good business that will do better. Fortunately takes little capital and pays more than most building society accounts with some growth potential evidenced by fact they are always getting new contracts. Pat

Tomorrow close is the record date for the Rights. You can buy 12 new shares for every 1 you hold -so if you buy 100 tomorrow you can buy 1200 new shares @ 10p each giving you a total of 1300 new shares in this company. The company is rather high risk because of its issues of Corporate Bonds -that you can also buy cheap for the heafty yield -as long as they are able to pay. As they are very much engaged in commercial property letting out space on big complexes in Europe and UK where they were formerly known as Slough Estates they will be affected if there is prolonged recession and therein lies the current risk. However the rights issue will reduce their debt ratio from 122% to 77% which represents a large deleverage. There is a small dividend of about 5p a share on shares you hold on the April 1 ex date from last years rental earnings but as new shares don't trade until after that date you don'tget the divi on the new shares. Worth buying a 100 I think and I have -they were over £5 on a couple of months ago - you could lose the lot in a bad recession. However who is really expecting one not even Dr Gloom -that might come a few years down the road Big Time !!! Pat

Thriving company doing the right things at right time and divi payer too NOT ON AIM Pat

Still falling but off its recent lows. Obviously great buyingt opportunity for this kind of yield on cash. However affected by pessimismin markets generally. Offwat are currently reviewing water companies business plands -some information expected April as to how helpful Offwat are going to be ! Yield now 6.5-6.75% Pat

From this price level -good luck !

Some very successful companies like Autonomy and some big oils pay nodivis and are good punts andquestion holds -but they are always very volatile -not ones I want many of or much of in my portfolio ! Pat

Understand that they may good for a punt but I do not like companies that give FA to their shareholders when their greedy directors are raking it in. I would rather put bits of money in companies like PAF that pays a small divi on 18th because it shows good faith. Nevertheless I will probably buy 100 Eros and take a chance but thats about it !! Pat

Runs on the expectation of new films coming along does it not. Had a good share price -paid FA to its shareholders -been down the pan and might go up because its presumed too low. Much rather have oil or gold with a bit of substance but I would trust these one little bit. Pat

I think there will be range trading in this stock. The civil market will be its weak link whilst global economy is struggling and the military activity is keeping it going and this will continue till 2011 it. Pat

Yes it is good divi but don't bank on getting that rate next time -even though they get a lot from Latin America -that is not as good as it was and Spain is having property and building industry problems plus Brits coming on their hols with heavily devalued £. I cannot predict how much more BNC or the other two bigs ones BVVA BPE or even Sabadell which owns Solbank that a lot of Brits use will continue to decline to be able to say for sure when one might grab a few more . Because the Bank of Spain have domne well supervising their big banks unlike the prats that have been running ours I like the Spanish banks but I have very low holdings at present which I bought in late autumn and think that they will recover ground lost since the eventually but feel sorry for people who are still holding them from the highs!! Pat

SHORT THEM LIKE F* When Aviva pay up the Dividend -then you see what a SCUMBAG company is Jarvis Securities (JIM) SHORT THEM INTO THE GROUND -the greedy family company that welched on its dividend when it is PERFECTLY ABLE TO PAY.

This one gave out buoyant information only a couple of months ago -has satisfactory results and welches on its dividend. THOROUGHLY LOUSY LOT AYOR

Abbey National is only a small part of Banco Santandar which has a lot of interests in Latin Amerca and isof course Spains first Bank. All top three BNC BVVA and BPE have been in recent decline as have lots of banks. Abbeys own shares ANLA and ANLB also off their last ex date levels but pay juicy divis if you accept the downside risks. Pat
