The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring financial educator and author Jared Dillian has been released. Listen here.
Its not beyond possibility that the BoD hasn't been seized with the climate change troubadours currently trumpeting that we have only seven days to save the planet, and they donate the cash available for dividends to Greenpeace and the UN. They'd do it to make shareholders feel virtuous, of course.
No doubt the board of directors will soon include a penguin and a polar bear to emphasise its virtue-signalling and tick-boxing as true believers and seekers of the Holy Grail of Diversity.
Thank you, 2heded. That would appear to be what went wrong. Weak leadership stuck in a rut.
The BoD may have the cash to up dividends but they appear, per their website, to be more concerned with virtue-signalling to the woke audience than doing what they are there to do. Perhaps the final dividend may get upped to 12.24p, if they think that won’t upset the Jacquerie.
May I ask of anyone who might know -
1) Why didn't PFG simply stop lending cash to CCD customers and run it down, if the management knew or suspected trouble coming from the FCA?
2) What is the basis for CCD customers' complaints that they were lent sums that they were subsequently unable to repay? Why must PFG write off their debts and furthermore give them hefty compensation for being inconvenienced with PFG's money?
Indeed, these RNS forms are not designed for easy reading, are they?
Especially for types like me who learned most of what I know from what was written along the left and right sides of the pages in the Beano.
Thank you. That will help me in future bouts grappling with arcane S/Exchange mysteries.
Would some kind person enlighten me as to what the latest RNS posting is about?
Has the 8.something or other % holding by the Taylor company gone up or down, or has it moved sideways in a significant fashion?
No doubt the stock exchange enjoys its secrecies but it doesn’t equate to transparency for me.
Not for me to say, S_I_D_I, but chacun a son gout, as the Welsh so quaintly say.
Ah! S_I_D_I, I see we are at cross purposes - you are talking of dividends paid in a calendar year, while I am referring to dividends for each financial year.
Morning S_I_D_I, regarding the dividends you mention, I believe you have added the 6p (interim for y/e 31-12-20 ) dividend paid 30-9-20 to the two for the previous year. I find the M&G website annual accounts very difficult, if not deliberately obscure, to follow, and wonder why the 12.23p final dividend is termed an 2nd interim dividend, which suggests there may be a final dividend that may or not be paid.
Karv1, would this 4th vaccine be a remedy for the Kent, South African, or the Indian variant of the imaginary batflu that our ever-thoughtful and caring government finds so useful in keeping a supposedly free people in their hutches?
Thank you, BBD, very kind of you.
Which company is the mysterious PE that is constantly reputed to be likely to buy M&G?
With so many links to pay for websites being offered it would take my dividend income to find out what those offering the links are suggesting. Perhaps they might run off the significant bits as a synopsis for we poor of the parish?
Perhaps he already has . . . .
The Chairman of LGEN is ex-Treasury, and probably still hard-wired into government group-think. I am surprised that LGEN paid a dividend last year in spite of Whitehall's nannying, which has continued and intensified. The website photos of the board show a lot of happy cheerful folk. so perhaps we have nothing to worry about.
Unless the SMT had mega-bills to pay won't the cash from the sale of half the Tesla holding be pretty useful for purchases at panic-time in the market?
No doubt this has been explained before but may I ask if someone might kindly explain what the different NAVs, Cum Par, Cum Fair, & Ex Par, refer to?
' . seems to be a very well regulated and well run company . '
except that the company's website says the company accepts the fashionable present-day gospel of 'despite Brexit', climate change, alphabet heresy, gender choice and who knows what other beguiling ideas wafting in through his apparently wide-open window.
How will this resonate when harnessed to the ancient alchemy performed by actuaries?
