TinkerT, not sure if the ones that sold for around £5 needed the cash, they probably didn't want to lose their capital gain

with hindsight if i sold my aviva/mng and Lloyds shares before exdiv it would have been more rewarding than taking the dividends, when you think about it your not going to get anymore income from those shares until the next exdiv, maybe selling up and holding the profits in cash until they all drop back would be more profitable, unlike my funds that keep growing dividend shares just go up and down

LuckyLaurie, I think you're luck may have ran out 😫 I blame the yanks

Just added at 196, hopefully the sp will gain before next exdiv

Good luck all holders

70p for me please roofer

thank you

Some of you may think my way of looking at this is a bit strange and unjust, but i look to see how high the sp will go before exdiv each April, ideally i would like it to be the same as the previous year plus an increase inline with inflation, for instance if the sp was 8% lower than the previous year, then you have not gained anything from an 8% dividend, this does seem to be struggling lately whether that's just down to inflation and high interest rates i'm not sure, Aviva on the other hand has had a very good year just falling short of £5 before exdiv, still think this is a good share to hold for income, but if it rises a bit more before exdiv will probably sell some off and put the proceeds into mng

Snakeeyes1875, next week this could go down further or it could go up, trust me nobody knows, if it was that simple we could all get very rich very soon

but i do agree with you though that i think this is a good share to hold and that it will go back up eventually, inflation and interest rates are holding everything back at the moment

just my opinion of course

best of luck all

It's almost like people have different risk tolerances and investment timescales. It's his money, he can invest it entirely how he wants.

Yes of course we are all different, this is not a one size fits all

for anyone wanting to sell they will want to share price to rise now, for myself i am quite happy to see this drop until i have reinvested the dividends, and should it drop back to under £4 will add more

quite happy to be holding this one in my sipp along with lgen and mng, some other shares i hold i will be glad to get rid of

just my personal opinion of course

gla

Garonne, words fail me

I hope it lives up to your expectations, whatever they may be

Davef24, maybe you should try trading it, buy low and sell high, oh hang on, it only goes low it doesn't go high, forget that idea, just wait until may results, and if that doesn't work, sorry but we are all f*cked

190ish will do me, that will mean I can keep my average down, no hurry plenty of time to add before next xdiv, one of the best dividend payers this

Dan, lower inflation and interest rates plus good May results and 80s here we come, i hope, we will have to be patient, It's just not happening right now that's all

cheers

LTI I was about to answer you, but kev beat me to it, hopefully we will stop losing more capital than we get in dividends, but currently we are struggling to get past 70p, with dividends being cut next year, we need the sp to rise to make up the difference

Dan, a few weeks ago i was telling you things were doing very well, that was until we were told interest rates are less likely to drop for a while, ever since most of the share prices have been dropping every day, and i can't see them rising again until we get news that interest rates will drop, also it's less appealing to invest in shares when you can get risk free interest

Dan, i'm getting 4.5% in my nationwide isa, so why would anyone be interested in risking investing in a share that's not returning a lot more, I agree with mole we need interest rates to drop before we will see any progress on shares

Eccles04, this site is good if you just invest in shares, I like hl because i'm 50% in funds

UnluckyInvestor9, you normally have to be invested here a little longer than 1 day, before you're shares are worthless

sorry guys i couldn't resist that one

Snakeeyes1875, I love your positivity it shows you are happy with your investment, it depends on what everyone wants from this, if you want to sell then i'm sure you would like to see this back to 240 it's high before exdiv, you could then sell and also have the dividend in your pocket, if like myself you want to hold, then it can be a good thing to see it drop so you can top up and reinvest dividends at a lower price

As everyone knows dividend shares generally just go up and down and generally don't have much growth, partly down to the fact they payout a large part of their profit back to the share holders with dividends, of course i would like to see it rise after buying more, let's hope it works well for everyone

Dan, i expect the buybacks will be a good thing as the share price is so low, very touchy subject though ?, whatever will make the share price rise will get the thumbs up from me, let's see what happens after the May results

Dan, it's your fault you was complaining that it was to quiet here tonight, LTI, what if the share price rises because the results are good and the 3 merge goes ahead, do you think the buybacks will not be good as a result

LTI, I suppose how rewarding the share buybacks are will depend on how low they buy them back for, should the share price keep rising then maybe not so good, do you agree
