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.
