With Halifax, took 3 working days or so last time. Seems to vary depending on which platform you use. All my other dividends usually the same day afternoon at the latest so don't think it's Halifax slowing things down.

Still nothing to my Halifax account.

Mine not arrived into Halifax yet.

Might be a reaction or over reaction to the breach but I agree with Bonsai. Medium long term should be fine. Certainly not good news but DC is in good condition and can get over this.

mcescher poster this link on iii.co.uk discussion board. Qute good as it is graphical and easy to understand. No new news but just interesting to compare DC to AO This infographic compares Dixons Carphone and AO World Plc, they have details on valuation etc. https://simplywall.st/compare/LSE:DC.-LSE:AO.

Might be down a bit but its gone from 9p to the equivalent of 67p over the recovery, I am still happy. Dividend being paid, prospects of it increasing next year. Nothing is guaranteed but I am still in for long term.

Not brilliant results but more than good enough I would have thought. The price has held up well -- so far. Previously with DXNS over the last few years even good results seemed to result in an immediate fall. Always came back again but not always quickly. Looks like the market is quite happy with the results.

Found a few sites with the later date but they may well all be quoting each other. I hope its the later date and that merger date last month will have been chosen with it in mind. We'll find out soon either way.

Might be reading it incorrectly but from the FTSE website as below it looks like cut off date is next Tueday which is more than 20 trading days. The FTSE Europe/Middle East/Africa Regional Committee will meet quarterly to review the constituents of the FTSE 100. The meetings to review the constituents will be held on the Wednesday after the first Friday in March, June, September and December. Any constituent changes will be implemented on the next trading day following the expiry of the LIFFE futures and options contracts, which normally takes place on the third Friday of the same month. Market capitalisation rankings are calculated using data as at the close of business on the day before the review. Companies must have a minimum trading record of 20 days at the review.

Coming in from DXNS just thought I would see what anyone else thinks about in or out the ftse100. We really need to be >4 billion by September to guarantee entry. Would it really make much difference in or out? I'm hoping the big kickstart will be dividends and results. Nice to see it creeping up today but I am still not used to the increased daily changes now the shares are consolidated.

0.155 is the conversion factor

400*0.155 =62 new shares

That is always the question. Somebody wants the shares - more buyers than sellers, big volume. I am in a quandry as always when it is looking good, bail with profit or hang in for more. Usually I do nothing and hope for the best. Can't handle the pressure of day trading.

typo as above

Encouraging to see the price holding up after last weeks dip. As always thought I should have sold at and was depressed at the drop, but now it is back up, have cheered up. Quiet board but I suppose nothing much to do but wait for the moment. Just out of curiosity does anyone know what happens to the short positions when the share mergers - do they just transfer over into the new share at the same ratio and equivalent short ? About 1.82% shorted at the moment.

Thanks for that - sounds right. Anway good week after the ups and downs recently - hope it stays up. Looks like the shorters are getting out, Lone pine seem to be gone and shorts are 1.82%. Best look my portfolio has had for a while with this finish so off for a BBQ and some beer to celebrate. Have a good weekend.
