Bad luck there. I did the same last year but bought back 16p lower in my isa. Covered my costs and appeared to give me a small profit. Used all the money to buy back. Got about 4% extra shares. So basically reinvesting a larger dividends BUT a few weeks later the shares drifted down a significant amount.
So would have done significantly better if I had waited.
Forgot to check my crystal ball. Silly me.

""The LGEN in my isa will still give me a 11% plus dividend . . ."

No it won't. It will give you, as of today, around 8.25% the same as everyone else!"
The ones in my isa were bought in March 2020 at 166.06p and that was no where near the bottom.

"For some reason it's very common for the sp to drop much more than the divis worth"
It's nothing unusual for a very significant fall during the exdivided day but quite unusual for it to finish the day significantly lower.
I have had Murray International fall 40p during the day when the dividend was 18p. It didn't finish 40p below though.

Had to reset my limit order yesterday so up 3.125p on the day finished down 18p.
So I would say before costs I could have had a return of 19p against a dividend of 13..93p.
I am using 19p as 3p yesterday was available all day and 16p today was available for most of the day.
So easily possible to beat the dividend.
Alas I would never have achieved it as I would expect a higher pre exdivided price.
Despite that the ones I bought short term in my sipp still gave me a 9% gain and i used the money to buy my original choice HGT which was down 3%. So roughly 12% more HGT than if I had bought them instead of LGEN 6 weeks ago.
The LGEN in my isa will still give me a 11% plus dividend.

I believe I read somewhere that they have only done buybacks after 2008.
And only for short period.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nigel was against it.
A new CEO might not be.
Expecting it to move the share price may be being hopeful. It often doesn't.

Anyway don't need buybacks will reach 290 before year end....unless China invades Taiwan!

Childish I know, from the 3i forum

"Bought these at a similar time to buying Lloyds shares. But only a handful of these and too many Lloyds. What a massive mistake that was.

Can't remember what I paid for these but likely under three pounds, and have paid good divs' whereas Lloyds is still way below what I paid for it some 15 years ago.

So, the reason this board is quite imo, is people holding are content, whereas Lloyds is one of the busiest boards, perhaps for the opposite reason, all trying to convince one another that given enough time...."

Batteries are nothing more than greenwashing the damage to the environment in creating them is huge.
The mining alone creates huge amounts of carbon.
The tree huggers reckon you only have travel 50,000 kilometers before it's evens out. Only!
And climate deniers reckon it never evens out.
Using gas occasionally will produce far less carbon than batteries production.

Nice rise up 2.5% early on then fell 5%. Break even now.

The share price is doing very well for me.
Had some cash in sipp, wanted to put it all in HGT.
So put a third HGT and the rest in LGEN.
Presently up 8.5% on LGEN and 2.5% on HGT.
Sell LGEN day before exdivided and buy the HGT I intended on buying and get a fair bit more.
This assumes LGEN share price will continue to rise faster than HGT. Or for that matter fall less!
It's not to much to ask LGEN up HGT down!!

I am hoping it will not perform well...until after legal and generals day before exdivided. I bought both on the 15th. I am hoping LGEN will rise faster as it approaches dividend day. Sell and stock up on HG. So far LGEN is winning up 100% more than HG. So would be nice for a fall in HG!

Inflation has now fallen to 5.3%.

January inflation 9.4% February 8.1% March 5.3%

If they reduce interest rates then the lari will fall.
It's not inevitable that they will reduce interest rates.
But I would say sooner rather than later.

And 224 on the 24th previously reported shòrt position.

I make it 241 on the 3rd April.

Only 0.5% not sure that should have much of an effect on the share price other than psychological. Get out before the other shorters start?
Also would want to be shorting this close to exdividend day.

And I was just pointing out there are no fees

No fees for drawdown with HL.
Can do the long winded paperwork over the phone or online. Or a bit of both IE they talk you through the on-line process.
