You do know it's ex-div today, so a £0.05 fall in price is 'par'?

Very briefly and I'm happy to be corrected on any broad brush statements, say the current price is 128p and you think the company is worth 150p, you buy shares (go long). If you think that it is only worth 100p, and you don't own any shares, you can borrow them from someone who does (often an institutional investor), pay them a fee to borrow them, sell them now for 128p and then buy them back at a lower price (if you are correct that it falls in price) to return them to the person you borrowed them from. As well as paying a fee to 'rent' the share, you also have to pay the original owner any dividends they would have received - thus any short sellers of PETS will have to pay 5p per share to the people that lent them the shares in a few weeks. Shorting can be a self-perpetuating circle, as if you can access a significant portion of shares and flood the market, the price gets driven down. If all shorters want to close their short at once, it can drive the price up hugely as there can be more demand than the market can usually fill. It can be a very risky game - if you go long, you maximum loss is the cost of the share you bought, if you go short, there is no upper limit on your loss as the share could rise 2, 3, 10 times in value (in theory). The reverse applies to gains.

In a good way @ nearly �27 - I hope that this is due to a bumper divi coming in the FY update, it seems an age (in recent GW terms) since the last one :)

I'm confused (and possibly a bit thick so bear with me). My understanding is that the shares are ex-rights as of today (or technically close of trading on the 4th May), but have only fallen about �0.07 - I'd have expected them to fall a lot more than this, more towards the �1.30 or so set out below by HeresHopin. I know that nothing is confirmed until the AGM tomorrow, but I think the record/ ex rights date remains set at Friday 4/5 whatever happens. Any thoughts that are more informed than my "huh?"?

It may depend on your broker, but from memory with the rights issue from Phoenix in late 2016, I didn't pay stamp duty or broker fees, just the xxx pence per share. I just had to fill in an online for to tell the broker to take up my rights and make sure my account was funded. This was through AJ Bell with an is a.

Big drop today is because the share went ex-div - that's 25.1p of the currently 28p drop (give or take timing discount which is fractions of a penny).

I also have mine in an ISA and I got the full 1p - 0.78 as PID and 0.22 as non-PID - I'm with AJ Bell if that helps.

Not due today, was this date last year, but: Per investors.capita.com/financial-calendar date is TBC

So I had a small limit top up order placed with my ISA (AJ Bell) which triggered on the dip. I ordered �1000 at a limit price of �23.80. This trade would appear to be my purchase: 23-Jan-18 14:47:15 2,381.50 42 Sell* 2,380.00 2,395.00 1,000 O But I got 42 @ 23.794 and my broker receipt is 14:45:02 I get that the buy/ sell indicator is just maths on closest to the bid or ask price, but I've never seen one of my trades be slightly wrong in price before. Any ideas why?

I suspect a mixture of profit taking and fear that it's been a bad Christmas trading period - a lot of retailers are getting hammered today and it could just be a fearful read across.

"It's very clear that the market is rigged. Would anyone go to a casino knowing the roulette wheel gave certain success to the establish owner?" They do. The roulette game is designed so that the establishment owner makes between 3 & 5% (roughly and depending on the type of wheel - single or double zero).

Not perfect timing, but pretty good return over 2 days as it bounces up this morning (20.35 as I write)

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)
