Who knows what will happen with Russia/Ukraine and the rest of the world. If it's all out war we have bigger things to worry about than cash. Just doubled my holding to 50,000 shares and now in at an average of 16.737p.
My first baby boy was delivered on 10 Feb at 8.17am weighing in at 4.14Kg. Today is the first chance I’ve had to log on to LSE and here we have another positive RNS.
I think his birth weight is a sign from the cosmos of a divi of at least £4.14.
And so today I will top up my holding in honour of little Max.
I don’t post here very often but am invested in EUA and have been following for about a year. So whilst no one knows or recognises me I wanted to share my good news!!
Glad I only threw £500 in this dumpster fire originally. Down 84%. Urgh.
Andre01 - This is the answer. Assuming of course that the SP does actually reflect the divi, which it should do in theory.
I already pay 45% on my PAYE income so a dividend of that magnitude would result in a huge tax bill.
I only have 20,000 shares in EUA. Would love to have 500,000!
Crikey. I hate the idea of a broker policing what you can and can't buy!
So it's fine for you to put your capital at risk, but only on stuff we're happy for you to risk it on.
I can understand if they weren't allowing you to open a sell position on a spread bet on a certain equity, but what difference is it to the broker with regard to what you buy and sell?
I'd recommend you open an account with IG.
Just bloody well finished mine! The first year where I've had any significant quantity of trades and had to deal with bed and breakfasting and share matching rules. Painful. You'd have thought if HMRC were going to have ******* awkward share matching rules that they could offer a little tool to help work out the gains.
I have no idea what possessed me to do it, given I usually build up my positions over time, but I chucked £12k at this a few weeks ago and paid about 210p a share. I have to admit I was encouraged by the various broker's price targets in the 300-400p range. Barclays gave a target of 400p on 10th December, then slashed that to 135p on 17th December.
I'm definitely not topping up although I would if I'd only put a couple of £k in initially. Burnt fingers. Ouch.
I'm in at 160p and holding. **** looking at a near 50% loss but I made a good chunk trading ARB in Jan/Feb so still in profit. Got back in in April @ 160 and just gonna hold it long term now.
Not as big a loss as my Boohoo shares though. I am literally boohooing about that.
My theory would be that the buyers due diligence identified some legal issues which needed to be resolved in order to pass good title to the assets/licences. Buyers lawyer would have said "Great, you've got A, B and C, but you're missing X and Y and without X and Y my client is at risk of this/that".
Perhaps this RNS relates to one of those outstanding points (hopefully there aren't many, if my theory is correct at all!)
I know nothing about mining other than it involves digging stuff out of the ground and selling it. But I do know that lawyers are great at picking holes in contemplated transactions!
I've just dealt with the purchase of an overseas company. It was a private limited company and SPV holding one asset worth a few £m. It took 3 weeks for the lawyers to agree the form of the Share Purchase Agreement. In the realms of a transaction of this scale, I'd expect the wheels to turn much slower.
Just a bit curious as to the risk appetite of those invested in EUA. I have seen people who refer to being "all in" and just wondered what percentage of your cash/investments you would allocate to something like EUA.
For me, I have about 1.6% of my total cash/investments in EUA. And, right now, I only have about 50% of my total cash/investments actually invested i.e. the other 50% is uninvested cash sitting around doing nothing. Of what I have invested, around 50% is in funds/ETF's/trackers and the other 50% is on individual equities.
Obviously people are at different stages in their lives and with different risk appetites. Those who have chunky pensions and paid of mortgages are in a different boat to say, me, who has a small pension, a large mortgage, and perhaps not so large a risk appetite.
Just curious as to people's views and apologies if it's a nosy question. Not asking for sums, just percentages.
I'd say unlikely to complete before then. But you never know.
I would have thought that a transaction of the size contemplated would have a fairly lengthy timescale for completion following a binding agreement.
Any regulatory hurdles to jump through?
I suspect I will have some investors regret for not pumping in enough here.
Position: 20,000 @ 22.63
