I have it noted down the interim dividend declaration is yet to be made on 31 Oct 2024... then ex-div date is scheduled for 24 Dec 2024, payment date being 31 Jan 2025.

I thought the full results is when they declared the final divi, which we all received last week?

However, if the 8p declared covers this final divi and the interim divi upcoming then that's also okay by me as undertook my calcs assuming no increase for divi this FY, so if there is an uplift of the interim then that becomes a small bonus.

In my opinion BT is not going to drop for any prolonged period due to four reasons.

1. US rate cut next week might well deliver 0.5% cut, looking increasingly likely from data I've been reading.

2. Oct 30th UK budget will be supportive of business growth, esp including telecoms.

3. Slim likely to buy up another tranche, after all why invest just two? Surely he'll go for the triple on any next drop of SP. I'd imagine third tranche will prove his last mind you.

4. AK likely to announce hike of Interim dividend.

Nicely done Max👍😎 - Enjoy!

I see the Uncrossed Trade set the end day SP at £1.4715p

A good move Gary59 to be fair. Very understandable that some will move to take profit and the even better thing is there's plenty to go around here IMO - I don't see that those moving to book their profits will hold BT stock back on this occasion because pressure behind the upward force has been long building and is unstoppable.

Well.. just checked my past trading history... I sold my entire BT stake for profit back on 06/03/2023 for about £1.47 and I don't think the price has been so high as that since (or maybe it went a little higher then fell for a long sustained period).

I then began buying again end June 2023 (albeit very slowly at first)... and I've sold zero shares since 😀

Only break evens? Gosh... I am all pure profit & plenty of it here! Glad to read you've hit the key milestone with this stock here Kwitwo :-) - hopefully you'll get to enjoy profits in due course, far further to rise IMO

US stock gains later today should see to it that CPI closes today a little up from current SP.

US Futures and the potential lift later this afternoon will prove critical here imo... if there's global upward drift it should easily help us overcome that 147p resistance

We know Canada pensions has both long + short positions but... for those with only shorts this must be getting quite painful indeed, as many shares will need to be purchased to close their positions!🔥

I wonder if anyone followed Polio Tang, UBS & AimMaster2018? If they did they'll be hurting! 🤕

I agree with Pharmhall - Dividends are classed ad 'Income' whereas CGT as name suggests is charged against gains in your capital... the offset against losses can go back a few years if I recall but cannot remember exactly how many

US Markets are looking as though they'll offer some gentle support this afternoon too. Given the current price I think it's now a possibility we tip over the £1.50p mark a little bit... Temptation for some profit taking sales action is no doubt starting to accumulate, so lots will now depend on the scale of that selling. FOMO is strong here however because I think all involved now know this is destined for higher SP's... It's going to get VERY interesting indeed now!

'CMA concerned about Vodafone-Three deal'... I'm still reading the info on this but it looks a really interesting situation... Unsure of the implications for BT until I've read much more... What do others think?

AbjectPerformer - could it be that the only thing you may regret is you didn't buy more BT? 🤷‍♂️

All forecasted £1.10... and yet we're still appearing to be undervalued here in the £1.40-£1.45p range.

Unanimous decision! Rate on the ECB’s deposit facility cut from 3.75% to 3.5%!

A Tricky balancing act for ECB:

Growth could be hit if the lagging impact of tighter monetary policy is stronger than expected, Lagarde admits.

Although, if inflation falls faster than expected growth (and therefore inflation) could be higher.

Lagarde adds, projections for core inflation have been revised up slightly (presumably since ECB got ahead of the curve, by going first and that's now safeguarding against inflation running too low or even tipping into deflation).

Which poses some key questions... With USA set to imminently make a rate cut; they've solid economic performance on their side of the water however, are they now ahead or behind the curve? Should they have already made a cut? Could they go for a bumper 0.5% cut to catch up lost time? Or will a 0.25% cut prove plenty enough, considering their stronger economic performance.

As for UK... we've only one cut so far and it doesn't appear to have helped support the wider economy yet. What will BoE decide next week?

But... it's just not a necessity for me and there's many other things I can also do with the cash I have + divi's too...

It is just ponderings and nothing more than 👍😎

Only reason I am pondering is I just tend to spend my dividend income, it's just what I have always done... Only reason I'm pondering reinvesting for the first time is I've thought BT is easily headed for £1.60-£1.65+ - and if I opt to spend the dividends then it does not equate to less confidence in BT, I already have plenty of shares purchased at lower prices and I still have more cash I could put into BT by adding it to the divi

But

Trisor - I quoted the 2024 H1 CPI results and not the 2023 as you appear to be claiming. Just more lies and ramping from you and your kin... Do you not realise that it makes you look foolish when you make bold claims and are consistently proven incorrect? Not to mention that you've never posted any hard evidence which backs up your view that CPI is going to motor upwards...

Looks as though HL have applied latest Divi to my Fund & Share Account 😃 - Pondering reinvestment but I've not made a decision as yet.

Trisor - I've provided plenty of evidence on why CPI's next results are likely to fall short of expectations and lets be clear here, the expectations are for a low to mid % Revenue reduction. Sale of C1 offers support and so the CPI patient is not placed in a coma... but vital organs have been sold and the patient is still in intensive care, probably until 2025 H1 results which could also be a rather poor showing too.
