No one knows, hence the SP.

If the dividend is not cancelled, I would expect to see some serious buys up to the bell on the 9th, and a spike in the SP.
I would also expect to see the SP fall back over the following couple of days.

Thanks for the link to what I perceive as a balanced view.
It supports my view that at the moment this is a high risk, high reward speculative stock, which on balance is worth the investment risk at moderate levels. It is definately not at the moment one to bank the house on.

I should add that at these prices the dividend is looking reasonable, but of course you would have to decide if thats a trap.

With this stock now at near 52 week lows for anyone considering opening a position I think now this may be a good medium to long term investment.
It won't help me though as I simply made an error and bought a while back with an average of £42, I'm not inclined to make this heavy in my portfolio to the extent that I would be required to invest to make any worthwhile dent in that average.
However as a new investor I would view this as having potential.
For me I'm unwilling to take a substantial loss as I believe long term I will see a profit, wars end, and the clouds of inflation will eventually move on. It may take some time but it will happen, it always does.
For those like me nursing a loss, its not pleasant but it will pass, for those not yet invested I honestly believe this is now at fire sale prices.
I'm not moaning, my paper loss is my error, not the stocks, it remains in my view a good stock despite perhaps the BOD not being at the top of their game. However BODs change, and sometimes for the better.

Thats all folks 68.8p Bid, 68.82 Offer

I wouldn't want to be out

Er... no it didn't

Stop loss has its place but its rare.

Filtered another idiot

Please if you have nothing credible or interesting to post, b-=gg3r off.

No just the markets doing market stuff.

March 30th.
Have a look at dividendmax, it will give you lots of info.
I have my holdings listed there for free and it keeps me up to date with XD and payment dates.

I agree its relatively safe as stocks go, but feel its heyday has passed. I won't be adding more but will continue to hold those I have for the moment, at least till the market recovers.

I'm also watching CUSN, IESU, LLOY, PHP, and RR.
Not holding these yet, but they are possible future stocks I would consider.

I am not sure how much you should take notice of me but I have no problem in sharing my holds.
AAF, ADM, AV., BA., BHL(very small holding), BP., DLG, EVR(again only a small holding bought at 54.77p), GLO, GSK, HSBA, KOD(pure punt and lightly invested), LGEN, MNG, NG., PHNX, PLUS, RIO, SSE, TRIG, UKW, ULVR, UU., VOD.
Most stocks held as around 5% of my portfolio, 3 at a much smaller %, and a couple at 7%|.
ADM, LGEN, RIO, SSE, NG., UU., HSBA, BP., GSK, and BA. are pretty much permanent fixtures and I don't envisage my portfolio being without them.
I have high hopes for AAF, TRIG, UKW, EVR and BHL which likewise may eventually be elevated to permanent fixtures.
I must confess I've lost some interest in ULVR and PLUS, but will continue to hold for now unless I identify something I like to replace them.
BHL is interesting, geographically I like it, and its in what I think will be a high growth sector going forward, but it has yet to demonstrate its potential.
LGEN and ADM have been with me for years and I can't remember my portfolio being without them.
I think there are a lot of bargain stocks available at the moment and one can afford to be very choosey.

Bad plan, the last thing you need to be holding is cash when inflation is rampant, its just locking in the certainty of loss.

The stocks I have are quality that I bought to hold for the long term, the backdrop has changed but the stocks I hold haven't.
So I intend to hold, and use dividends to pick up any bargains along the way.
Its probably going to be years not months before things get back on an even keel, but they will eventually. If I held any stocks with large debt that I thought might be difficult to manage in the short to medium term, I would probably exit those.

Not sure what you mean.
It closed with a bid of 54.32p and offer of 54.44p.

I got lucky, my average is only 54.77p, it will either do very well for me or not, time will tell.
