You can't beat a good rise Dan !

Drop pretty much as expected really no disasters, will be reinvesting dividends here and should this drop back to the 190s will be happy to add more, but hopefully it will keep on rising instead

LTI, that's something we should all keep in mind, I last doubled my shares here @ 86p i would like to see this rise a bit above that so i can sell them off at a bit of a profit( hopefully), as for the remaining half i will decide on that at the time

But as you say for anyone wishing to hold this long time they would benefit from the share price staying down

Dan, your welcome, hope you had a good holiday, i can't think of a better way to spend dividend money, talking of which as longterninvester pointed out it doesn't seem to have had any impact on the share price so far

So we had better brace ourselves for the drop then, let's hope it's not too painful

Dan, It's in the rns mate

Warthog4, well in theory it should drop the same amount as the dividend plus or minus any market changes on the day, but where this will go in the weeks months after xdiv is anyone's guess, i wish i knew the answer to that one, as we don't know what effect any interest rate drops will have

Hi Dan, doesn't bother me at all mate, why should it, I have even taken the mickey out of him a few times, a bit pointless all this name calling, i would prefer to talk about how we can get the best returns for our investments on the stock market

What are your thoughts on next years dividend cut? , not sure about yourself but i would like to see the share price here rise as soon as possible, not thinking of 5 or 10 years time, so anything that can push this up sooner rather than later i'm all for it

Beo1, I agree the ray-cist comments are stupid, hopefully we have all moved on from that stuff, but you do seem to pick and choose what words you regard as offensive?

Spikeyj, Yes that is another option, my gut feeling is to just hold and take the dividend and should it drop back a lot add more, It's a good feeling though when a share goes above your expectations, it doesn't happen very often these days

Cheers

Stormer, correct exdiv 25th April, let's see how high it can go by then

We all know gutter is a bit of a crackpot, but nobody in their right minds would take his comments seriously, he's just having a laugh and i don't see anything nasty about his comments, it's the people who keep shouting insults at him are the ones with the real problem, you know full well that nothing he says here is not going to make the slightest difference to the share price, so why are you being so abusive, grow up guys, we are hoping the share price will go up here, but obviously theirs some mixed opinions on how successful this will be

Hi all, I have an average here of £3.90 so over 25%profit, if i sell and it drops back to 3.90 in the next few months i will be very pleased with myself for taking the profit, if i hold and it drops back to 3.90 i will have the dividend but will have lost that profit, the other scenario is if i hold take the dividend and it may not drop much

good position to be in, but i guess which ever decision i make it will be the wrong one, if only i had a crystal ball

Not sure why anyone would want to sell a month before xdiv but i guess they have their own reasons, but i agree the share price is a bit underwhelming, if it reaches 2.60-2.65 i will be selling some off and adding to my funds, if you take inflation into account we should be seeing a new high at this time of year, Aviva was my only share to finish in the blue today

It will be very interesting to see if this can rise anymore before 11th April, bring on next week

I love it when a plan works well

72.5 please roofer, need this to start moving towards 80p it's getting left behind

Cheers

Let's hope this can grow some legs for April, Aviva is winning the race by a country mile at the moment

Longtimeinvestor, better than losing money on those rubbish Vodafone shares eh, Jam today is better than maybe a bit of jam in 20 years time

CJ39, I hope your right about that, also the way i see it is i have an average here around the 380s and if i sold i probably wouldn't be able to buy them back for that price, also i would be happy to buy more should it drop back a bit further than i expect, I don't like shares where you can end up losing more of your capital than you get back in dividends, unfortunately i already have one of them, so that's my famous last words lol

Good luck to all holders

Zac, that is very true, but as far as UK shares go this is one of the better ones, it's been full dividend payments with no loss of capital here for myself, you could do an awful lot worse, I'm looking to sell around 25% off if it should reach 2.65 by exdiv, but should it drop to around 220 ish weeks or months later, i would probably buy them back, i'm all for around 65-70 % in international funds, but quite happy to have a small selection of reliable shares in the mix
