Incredible performance...they keep rolling sixes!
Sounds like you analysis is slightly more technical than mine! My broad view is that a 5% dividend would get some attention and consequently, if that dividend can be maintained, the share price should be a function thereof. The MF article is, as you say, additional publicity. To juxtapose GW with a toy manufacturer doesn't sit well with me. In part to answer one of your earlier questions, my attraction to GW is in part due to my interest in the hobby (just last night I was painting some Ultramarines). At present I'm not a gamer that much but more a hobbyist in that I enjoy that painting side of things - my children, although still a bit young, are also developing an interest. I look at my friends and many of them are similar to me in their interest and that interest is also being passed down to their children. So the age ranges GW appeals to is somewhat greater than that of a toy manufacturer (unless they have oversimplified the description!). The next big news will be the announcement of the interim dividend which I presume will follow financial year end.
All looking quite positive. The dividend history per calendar year is as follows: 2016 45 2015 36 2014 36 2013 56 2012 63 2011 18 2010 20 If we can expect these dividends to continue (or improve) would a share price of circa 900 be unrealistic (45p dividend would equal 5% return)?
Indeed - quite the meteoric rise. With the decent dividend and rise (I've held for about six months) I'm wondering whether it is sustainable. That said, there are a lot of GW themed games out there and Dawn of War III is being released this year which will no doubt give a decent boost. Torn at the moment - sitting on tidy profit but it is a good share that pays good dividends!
I tend to view the whole market manipulation thing with a degree of cynicism. However, given that the expectation was that Clinton would win and the price of gold would fall perhaps there is something in that! Once the powers that be have extricated themselves will there be an almighty 'ping' in the opposite direction?
I'm surprised that the gold and silver price, having spiked yesterday, has returned to roughly were it was. I would have thought that the upset of yesterday would have pushed it and held it a good deal higher? FRES seems to be sitting tight despite a few factors working in its favour!
