The way this is wobbling around with profit-takers and Buyers keen to get in at the same time (also ex-dividend is a factor) you could put in a fill-or-kill trade at your selected price, and show either a nice profit or an increase in shares. I topped up at 138p earlier today - did not quite find the bottom, but perfectly satisfied. GLA!

You read that one well Pope - how far the retrace before we get a bounce IYHO?

Hope you are right Pope - good opportunity to top up yet again if so.

Not too fanciful Les, as some of the big builders would love to get their hooks into the University expansion programmes via WJG contacts. Still basically a family firm, so that might preclude a deal if one was on the table.

Means they want your shares Les! Have patience, this will leave 140 behind very soon.

Absolutely crystal clear Matt, and a proper reason for developing your own investment philosophy with guidelines. My own experience with highly risky investments in the embryo miner division have been fairly disastrous - so this very solid company at an opportune time for investment gives me a very different feel, hence the strongly positive stance.

That's right Matt, its called conviction. I got the first move right at the end of June in quicker time than expected, so the current view might carry a bit of weight too. If you have your doubts I am sure the board would be interested to hear them.

Irrespective of the competition, we all know where this is heading. Agree with Pipk, and this is still a great SP for investors with a beady eye on divi. I will be buying on all the dips until the end of year.

Echo your thoughts on this one philpot. Just gone ex-interimdivi, so bound to languish for a while around the 208/212p marker for a month or so. Watch it climb after the turn of the year to near pre-Brexit levels as the reality of the annual divi in Spring registers with solid investors.

The FTSE post-Brexit bull run may be running out of steam, and this may be steady for a while - but still a great price to Buy IMHO. You have to have an opinion one way or the other, and leaving aside all the hair-splitting that goes on here, I would predict 250p plus by next April. If you see a 10% return on your capital investment in the meantime, I would never blame those who decide to take a nice short-term profit - but it won't be me!

That was predictable, and the 4p drop is exactly what you would have received before the ex-divi date! The fundamentals are strong here, and investment in this share is very dividend-driven, so I would expect a month or two of consolidation and then a steady rise to annual dividend date next April. With around 10p divi due at that stage, a lot of value hawks will be piling into this.

Short-term is not wrong ref: dividend, but mid- and long term is better when you look at the fundamentals and strength of the balance sheet. Prospects in the new Brexit scenario are good IMHO, and with a full year dividend in the 10p area due next Spring, the capital value of this share will surely rise to pre-Brexit levels at the very least.

You certainly can Barry! And fortunately for those who ignored the old wives tale of ..."Sell in May and go away.." the immediate post-Brexit opportunities were equally obvious, so it was more like "Buy in June and Cash in soon"!

Wow! I beat an executive director on buying price!! Another minor triumph! You are dead right about the timing for both Buy and Sell, whatever the share. A lot easier on a rising market too.

When backed up by present fundamentals, and the current famine in dividend returns - I see no reason to crab golden's enthusiasm. Much preferred in this quarter to doubts and negativity - although, conversely, it is exactly that factor that keeps providing buying opportunities.

Good analysis of the half year report, and for once two comparitively easy questions ref LGEN. I am a fairly recent investor without the hangover of pre-Brexit investment levels, which can have an un-nerving effect on one's decisions. I was genuinely surprised and delighted at the new opportunity presented by the mini-drop in share price yesterday - especially after absorbing all the positive fundamentals contained in the half-yearly report and interim dividend statement, so very happy with a stop buy for 20k at 204.6p at early doors. Bounce was as predicted by others on this board, and will continue IMHO. So - "Are investors fears justified?" - Definitely NOT. And - "Are these dividend yields a great buying opportunity?" Positively YES - especially at the current price.

I think Pete's spot on with this one, and have put in a chunky stop buy at 205. Very liquid movement for a top FTSE share, all fundamentals in place, strong dividend already declared, so presently under-priced with 250-275 a realistic medium term target IMHO.

I take a different view and would endorse the conviction shown by Goldenshares. I am heavily invested in a start -up miner, and only recently here in a much smaller amount, and would readily swap the two if it were possible. Also, there have been some erroneous recording of trades today. There is no way we would have seen such a solid rise on the back of 23m Sells! Can happen with such a narrow moving spread. This may rise to 220p before it goes ex-dividend.

Wish you were right about the sub 200p price. Tried to buy 10k on a stop buy 3 times on Thursday/Friday but no deal. This is on its way upwards now, and like the other posters here I can only see a pause at around the 250p marker.

support for this stock today with some massive institutional buys totalling nearly £50mill invested.. Heading very solidly towards the 200p marker.
