NatWest on Friday, 16th February (07:00hrs) and then Barclays on the 20th.

And, apart from the divi, with a 52 week low of 371.50 and a 52 week high of 432, there is plenty of scope for making a decent capital gain with minimum risk.

Next support level 102.617.

So who is going to pay for all of this? Not the shareholders I hope.

Any decent company close to its 52 week low has to be considered. It is one of the fundamentals of investing.

If you look at October last year, when it was in the 120s, in just over a month it was in the 170s. I am not saying this will happen again but their is nothing wrong that a good spring sale will not correct.

Jako, This is the dividend history if that is what you want. Future dividends are still to be announced:

Oversold?

What the government knows is the UK insurance and pension funds are only 4% invested in UK listed shares which tells you something. No doubt Hunt will soon do his snake oil salesman act to dump NWG leaving another black hole in UK finances.

But are they going into India as a time when it is peaking? Some believe the Nifty-50 is 20% overvalued. They should have been in there five years ago.

No doubt the share price will be manipulated upwards so that when the government gives its discount, the price will still be respectable. Best to know when to pull the plug.

Given that the Nifty Fifty has doubled in the past five years, they have seriously been asleep on their watch.

They also say in their investment case that their intention is to pay 40% of adjusted earnings in dividends.

Well, 12:00 - 14:00 today is the AGM so we should hopefully be enlightened shortly.

Any day now. I am watching their site for an announcement. I will post when it happens.

So am I but I know that the day I sell, the price will go up.

All down to next Wednesday's meeting now.

Non-Standard Finance was a shell company listed on the stock exchange and its purpose was to buy up other companies. It did go into an orderly wind down, but, according to Companies House, there was only £80,500 left in the pot when they issued a declaration of solvency upon delisting. They have now resurfaced, I believe, under a new name.

In 2019, they managed to fend off a hostile 1.3 billion pound hostile takeover from the smaller Non Standard Finance Plc. At the time, Non Standard Finance stated as a good reason for accepting the takeover was that 'long suffering shareholders will get more of the same from an inexperienced team.' Meanwhile, MLM managed to convince shareholders that the future was bright. It was probably one of the things MLM got right because Non Standard Finance shareholders were wiped out in 2023.

Talking of HL, I notice the interest on the the dormant money in my HL accounts has increased dramatically this month due to FCA intervention. I wonder what impact this will have or maybe it is insignificant?
