I can only think it's triggered a bunch of limit sells - I added a small slice on the way down as it hit my buy limit - now if it hit's my sell limit on the rebound, my quest for neatness will be complete and I'll have a nice round number of shares with the rounding being a freebie :)
The next BloodBowl team will be the vanilla Elves, the Elven Alliance, in plastic - they should just make it out for Christmas, after that it is suspected to be Lizardmen as there is one on the cover of the upcoming BloodBowl rules supplement. The return of Epic will be in 8mm scale (I know mm is not a scale, but meh) and there are photos of the Titans doing the rounds on DakkaDakka and no doubt elsewhere, but I'm not sure which quarter they are expected in.
Coming back in to re-join us if it falls further? I just put a top-up order in if it falls a bit below �20 - if the Christmas re-releases of Necromunda this year and Adeptus Titanicus next year can tap into the Blood Bowl success, then I can see another few years of divi's being churned out.
This year I'd expect about �0.145, so a touch under 5.5%. 26% would be nice though :)
http://www.halfmoonbay.co.uk/new_and_featured/new_autumnwinter_2017/warhammer_40000/ :) Just a good example of the company going all out to exploit the IP - I actually quite fancy some of the heat changing mugs and hardback notebooks
:) your name's not down, you're not coming in :) I have a very small holding in BBOX - the last open offer was limited to 15% of what you subscribed for, and their overall performance made me think the idea of holding Warehouse space had a decent future. Also the stability of Property/ REIT's is attractive as I try to balance my portfolio - I've had some great upside excitement and some equal yet off-setting downside excitement this year, so something unspectacular but with slow and steady growth potential appealed. I can see this being somewhere I drip feed funds on rights issues to have a decent core to my portfolio as they add acquisitions. You?
Cheers for that - odd that it hasn't been picked up as an RNS by LSE. Pretty much ties into the prospectus that they had a pipeline of projects ready for funds to be deployed, and the yield fits the target returns, so happy days it would seem. I would guess that there is roughly enough spare capital left over for a slightly smaller add-on purchase so wouldn't be surprised by another announcement in the next few weeks.
Any news in particular? Not seen anything around WHR yet. (Oh, and small holder here)
£36.74 as I type versus a close yesterday of £36.86 on here, £36.81 on Google - so the ex-div drop almost wiped out in a morning - think the company will be issuing a buy back RNS tomorrow? As a side note, when I tracked the last quarter's buy back, I couldn't work out what had happened to the dividend from shares that were bought back cum-div (23-28/2) - I reckoned £188k roughly of dividend that the company saved but didn't seem to add to the latest dividend distribution - anyone else look at this and find an answer?
A post of ADVFN says announcement tomorrow, but I can't confirm that on the investor relations section of the website. That does say that the record date for the dividend will be 25th August (on the Financial Diary Tab), so ex-div 24/8 and announcement tomorrow would seem to fit that timetable. HTH
There's some excerpts from the law suit documents being discussed on Dakkadakka - to be fair to the plaintiff, he comes across a little 'challenged' "GW ‘Investor Relations’ webpage betrays their criminal intent (as well as socio-pathology to ethics regarding the Great Debt they owe to the America Stores that made them" "Their aforementioned deceptions and lies manipulate the market to increase demand for little plastic pieces that cost 3-cents to mass-produce. They over-hype product and limit its supply to create the illusion of an over-demand condition. Defendants create pure artificial demand. They pre-sell items to Plaintiff. Then they short Plaintiff Store’s pre-purchased supply – stealing it back to re-sell Plaintiff’s property at their absurd 50,000% marked-up prices."
The change in dates was announced in the half-year report 2/12/16 when they announced that the £10 per share would be split between dividends and buy backs: "In February and August each year, the Company will announce the dividend to be paid at the end of March and September, respectively. This will be calculated as the absolute value amount to be delivered in the six months (£138.8 million based on the current shares in issue), less the cost of any share buy-backs undertaken in the relevant period. Going forward each subsequent relevant period begins on the date of announcement of the dividend for the previous relevant period." Just for reference, the SP was £27.60 at the end of 2/12/16 when they announced the buy back and about £35.50 today - a gain of roughly £8.00 a share versus a loss to date of roughly £0.55/ share in dividends (and a gain of about £0.02/ share for each of the future dividends if there were no more buy backs). I'm sure the gain isn't solely down to the buy backs, but overall I can't say I'm unhappy with the performance.
Indeed - today's bump means that if I include divi's, I have tripled my money since the end of Mar 16 (sort of makes up for Carillion in my portfolio). Every time I think how are they going to keep it going, they seem to. It must steady at some point, but it's a great ride to be on.
Good man, I bought 2 of the made to order Vampire BB teams last week, with sales like this we'll see 15 so before too long 😉
Are people getting over-excited buy 8th Ed 40k? Or am I under-estimating it - if it is causing a lot of excitement (and more importantly, spending) would that justify the gains? Seems a stretch for me, but one I'm happy to ride.
bbc co uk/news/uk-40357280 "Survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire are to be rehomed in a luxury housing development in the heart of Kensington, the government has said. Sixty-eight one and two-bedroom flats have been acquired at the Kensington Row development, it added. The apartments are "newly-built social housing" in a complex where the price of private homes starts at £1.5m. At least 79 people died and many more were left homeless after fire engulfed the west London tower block a week ago. The complex includes a 24-hour concierge service and a private cinema, the website of developer St Edward's says. The Department for Communities and Local Government said extra public money had been found so the flats could be fitted out more quickly. It said the "expectation is that these new properties will be offered as one of the options to permanently rehouse residents from Grenfell Tower"."

Very quickly scanning today's RNS, it looks like L&G used to hold over 5% of Mears group, but now only hold 3.72%. They have to announce that they are below the 5% threshold (and IIRC would have to do so again if they went below 3%). It's more of interest to Mears shareholders than L&G IMO (unless you are an avid follower of L&G's investments).
Just been told by my broker that the IPO was scaled back to 15% which is too low to think about just cashing in and flipping, so I'll hold the tiny amount I get and add as and when the price is good or there's further discounted offers.
No, I've seen this described as a "get rich slow" trade and what I'm investing is with an eye on 20 years' time to take the returns, so that works for me. Seeing as the price has held well above the 136, the 'cash in' was more a question for me of what (if anything) I'll get allocated and whether to take the profit available now to invest elsewhere, or to file them away as a core holding and continue to add whenever the price looks attractive.
Cheers for all the feedback guys - useful insight into the market thinking on this share - I've stuck a small-ish IPO application in - will see if I get any/ all in a few days and then it's either a slow build up on price drops/ future discounted offers or a quick cash in(but most likely the slow build).
