When does the offer expire?
Grateful to anyone who is kind enough to answer.

Thanks for this, I will keep an eye out on my accounts for any notifications, although hopefully Halifax will email me when its available.
Anyone have any idea of pricing.

I hold TRIG and UKW. I did expect TRIG to be the better of the two stocks but so far that hasn't proved to be the case. Both are showing a profit for me, and both dividends are good, but UKW is showing me more than double the profit so far.
I do expect this to even out over time, and think both stocks are winners.

SP is just bobbing about at the moment, but this stock gives a nice exposure to a market with huge development growth over the next 10 years.

I would love a nice big fat juicy dividend, but LLOY is in an unusually good cash position at the moment, and I can't help but wonder if they put that cash to work instead of just giving me short term gratification, it might not lead to bigger longer term rewards in the future.

If it works for you no need to do anything else.
Best of luck.

I share your pain with VOD, although for real suffering you should try MXC.
I like a utility, and can't at this time imagine my portfolio without a holding in NG.

Shorting is all part of the game, but its something I don't have the nerve for, but its a free world.
When the shorters do get caught out it can lead to some huge short term profit taking opportunities, so not all bad news.

Thank you.
I've signed up.

Next interim dividend declared on 17th November, with an expected ex-dividend in January and payment in March.
No figure set as yet but I would expect somewhere around 24p per share is not unrealistic.

I would'nt worry too much about the daily ups and downs, long term this is a winner.
Just re-invest the dividends, sit back and watch that nest egg grow.

Water treatment, storage, and pipelines don't come free, and sewage treatment is a costly business.
Well managed companies that are rewarded tends to drive innovation.

A few boring stocks in a portfolio are good, however I never find making money boring.

Thanks for the link, I was unaware of this technology.
If it financially viable to scale up it could help enormously to both attract green investors, and reduce operating costs.

Nice little 1.5% up as I type, any reason for this, not that I'm complaining.

If thats the case I'm not sure I understand the sentiment.
I hold what I would like to think is a diversified portfolio of 21 stocks. At any time some are up and some are down, at the moment I'm looking at gains of over 45% to losses of 17% but overall if I can average my target annual gain, including dividends, of inflation plus 3% I'm happy.
Perhaps I'm just easily pleased.

I guess it depends when one raised a position in this stock.
Luckily I was fortunate and open a position in November last year with an average including costs of £1.9316. I have been buying smaller batches and re-investing dividens since then.
If as I suspect you were less fortunate with your entry point, you may well come good over a longer timeframe.
I like many others have been in that position and its disheartening, but the questions are has the reason you bought this stock in the first place changed, can you close this position and find better value elsewhere. The answer to these questions will determine what you decide to do.
While I do empathise with you, I'm not sure your negative comments are of much value to you.

I couldn't agree more, and find myself in a similar position.
But we should remember its difficult for those who are still on the wrong side of the SP to be upbeat.
I am confident in BP. and their future in these challenging times.

I believe that BP. management are likly to know what they are doing and have a long term strategy. I think perhaps we should trust them to do what they are paid for.
Yes its nice to get a big fat dividend to reinvest, but these are strange times and BP. has a long road ahead in its transition to a greener profile. This is going to take considerable funds, and perhaps the share buyback forms part of that long term straytegy.
Short term pain, long term gain.
I wouldn't even miss a lack of dividend for a year, yes the SP would drop, but that is meaningless unless you sell, and as long as I am certain of the reason for the dividend freeze, and the drop in SP, I wouldn't be overly concerned. In fact some may even view the drop in SP to be a buy opportunity.
Oh and this is from someon who really likes a dividend, there is nothing like re-investing free money.

Dividend XD on 11th Nov, and to be paid 17th December. The dividend looks like its going to be about 3.953p per share.
But to be honest I just got plain lucky on this one and I'm currently looking at a 20% gain excluding dividends, so the dividend is just the cherry on the cake.
