Just cannot believe the amount of moaning about GR.If people are not happy with him SELL UP for goodness sake or stop moaning.It is just continuous and there is no need for it,if you are invested you do it for a reason to make money.I have quite a lump in this company and have done ok so far and am well up so let’s leave the bloke alone.
If you look at exdividend.co.uk it explains how it works at bottom of page.You must own shares before ex date and can sell at anytime including on the exdate or after and still get div.Hope this helps.
