Nice rise today.

Crystal seems then your current view is that the SP will not rise to any reasonable degree to make it a worthwhile buy plus of course receiving a decent dividend. That in fact you are better off out and wait for the dividend to be paid to others while you wait for the SP to fall considerable at which point you MIGHT! buy in again. Having read your comments for some time must admit to questioning your conclusions. But of course your decision. Remember no point praying to win the lottery if you havent bought a ticket.

The Dove soap maker has quietly set up meetings with UK-based shareholders to convince them of the benefits of simplifying the business into one corporate entity based in Rotterdam, rather than London. Four shareholders have privately told the Financial Times they are “extremely worried” about the proposal. Three are in the top 20 biggest investors, and the fourth in the top 40. In particular, they object to Unilever’s likely exclusion from the FTSE 100, a popular benchmark index used by funds, and fear they would be forced to sell their shares at an unfavourable price. Their concerns indicate Unilever could face a tough battle to convince investors when the matter is put to a vote around the end of September. It needs the approval of 75 per cent of UK shareholders and 50 per cent of Dutch shareholders. Both sets of investors must agree for the vote to be carried. A vote against the restructure would be a huge blow to the company and a sour end to what is expected to be chief executive Paul Polman’s final year after almost a decade at the helm. A fifth investor, Columbia Threadneedle Investments — a top 10 shareholder — spoke out publicly last month against the controversial move and criticised Unilever for a “lack of engagement with shareholders”. One large shareholder said his company held discussions with Unilever officials about the effect of the company falling out of the FTSE 100 index, adding it could have a huge impact on his business. “For any fund with links to the benchmark, [having] such a large off-benchmark holding would be a challenge. There will be a lot of forced selling,” he said. Recommended Unilever: the Rotters’ club Another large shareholder with concerns about the plan said Unilever’s charm offensive came in the wake of Columbia Threadneedle’s criticism, suggesting the company feared other investors could follow suit. “They are finally talking. They have become much more friendly now,” he said.

Arse. Need I say more.

Shaun. Deflated, like our share price LOL. At times like this it's maybe best to remember that share dealing is just one aspect of life. Put it on the back burner, enjoy yourself. Rest assured it will recover. Is it any less greedy to constantly talk of the SP dropping in order to get your fingers on more shares?

It's a big list but doesn't record any that are under half a percent, so there are more. It's not difficult to check the approximate SP at the time of the short. The thing is to read any opinions with an open mind. However consider the possibility that the writer would benefit financially if the SP were lower and therefore is the writer being disingenuous. That word describes perfectly the actions of some where this SP is concerned. (disingenuous) synonyms: dishonest, deceitful, underhand, underhanded, duplicitous, double-dealing, two-faced, dissembling, insincere, false, lying, untruthful, mendacious

I will quite simply post an explanation and not add my own thoughts on this practice. You should read more online nothing like doing your own research ;- When an investor or speculator engages in a practice known as short selling, also called shorting a stock, he or she borrows shares of a company from an existing owner, sells those borrowed shares at the current market price, and pockets the cash. As a condition of this transaction, the short seller promises to replace the borrowed stock at some point in the future, while making dividend replacement payments out of his or her own pocket to cover the dividend income that is no longer available on the original shares. (Unfortunately for the investor who had his or her shares of stock borrowed, those replacement dividend payments aren't treated as qualified dividends, which are entitled to tax rates that are nearly half of the ordinary tax rates.) The hope behind shorting stock is that the stock price will decline or that the company will go bankrupt, leading to total ruin for the equity holders. The short seller can then buy the stock back at a much lower price, replace the borrowed shares, and pocket the difference, adjusted for any dividend replacement payments that were required along the way.

Totally agree Mike and there was a lengthy article before the results along similar lines. I bought in too early after the drop this time around Surely but am genuinely pleased you seem to have got a good price. Whatever the case better than I did, but it's swings and roundabouts, although my head is spinning a bit I'm not about to get off this ride. Best wishes to you both.

Some have made a lot of money using any excuse to talk this SP down. Others here about turn opinions within days. I am a believer and not simply because I hold shares. I can see the effort that went into the agreements reached recently. This Company is part of our heritage 500 years dating back to Henry VIII it's not a Tesla or facebook. My old mum worked in the sorting office and the union helped me out as a teenager. One thing to make a profit but shorters etc #####

Totally agree Furry. I have many items delivered to me from UK. Letters and parcels always best when shipped via RMG. Not a single item lost in 18 years

Thank you Derek.
