Porch - You seem to pop up everywhere, you are a mor0n but I do feel sorry for you

A core holding for me, my second biggest holding after CTY - Suspect it will never knock the lights out but it's not designed to. Lowish volatility and the fairly reliable dividend allows me to sleep at night

I agree - Good chance of some capital growth whilst enjoying a reasonable dividend when inflation levels off

Yes it's a big "if" but one can only hope - certainly no sign of another bidder on the horizon

I did start my position here north of a hundred a few years back but have since averaged down. With the divs and ignoring inflation, I'm around break even at 80p. Personally I try and invest for the longer term and ride out the cycles so selling at c. 25% below NAV, unless the company is severely distressed (which I don't believe Civitas are) is wrong.

Of course I fully understand the muted euphoria for those who entered recently.

Ken if only one bidder is in play then yes it would be unusual....... but if another interested bidder comes along it's not

I'm with you FTREB

They're just buying free money at our expense - How can the board recommend at c. 75p in the pound? Why not just liquidate the assets and return the cash that way? even if they sell at 10% below NAV

Seems one or two on this board and the other board are happy about this - Me not so much, the board talk about the headwinds in this sector blah blah blah but longer term that would change and in the meantime the div makes up for it.

Chid - You French?

Here we go again, Lucy version 2.0

Most likely not even invested here just another de-ramper who've read something somewhere from an obscure analyst

Hope none of the doubters who post here took a short position in late Jan / early Feb :-) :-):-)

You might also want to check with your broker - I use HL & Barclays, with HL the full payment is made in but with Barclays they reclaim it and pay it at a later date.

Lucy Loo is now claiming Civitas is some sort of ponzi on the other board.

Hey ho - as they say it takes two to make a market

Wow the euphoria from such a positive RNS was pretty short lived

I see Lucy Loo is spouting her old news on ADVFN now - Yawn

I agree - If this update doesn't warrant a re-rate what does

Oh come on Lucy, you've had your fun, hopefully made a few quid from your short position, but time to move on now and leave us bagholders to suffer without rubbing proverbial noses in it. If this is as you say some sort of fraud (in spite of all the evidence to the contrary), then I agree we fully deserve to have our shirts lifted. But until then at least let us enjoy the extremely attractive dividends that any remaining shorters have to contribute to - who knows after just 11 years (I believe a relatively short time for long time investments?) at c.9% anuual payments we will be in here for nothing

looks like most of the shorters have moved on now too - like I said recently I think Lucy's views are based on old news

I agree punt - the div makes me smile, if I'm wrong I'm wrong, you can't win em all - but until then I'll keep enjoying the div

I think you'll find they're not too bad for dividend seekers too
