Perhaps, Like HL, they pass on earnings on a particular date? So, although BT (or whoever) pays out the dividend, the broker releases it to the client on a certain date, along with any other earnings from the month.

I suspect Valley means automatic dividend reinvestment. It's an option you can lodge with your broker.

It's perplexing me too, Kate. The pixels on my MacBook screen are now permanently burned red, I'm convinced. Not just abrdn, though, pretty much all of my holdings are just heading south day after day. What a way to start the year!

... I should have gone for UFO.

SpikeyJ - you are, of course, right, but human nature and all that ...

But even if I don't look at it, the price swings are third-world. I'd still like to know why precisely.

Pokerchips - for about two weeks.

BUZBY320 - yes, and the recent upgrades suggest you're right on this point.

Yes, fleccy, I spotted that AT&T story yesterday too. I was going to post it here for others to mull over, but then thought "Nah, it won't be relevant by tomorrow.' D'OH!!

It's the massive daily swings that cause alarm rather than the longer term falls and rises. It spent most of today up nearly 4%, but then closes more than 1% down. It's so frustrating. As someone has already said in another thread, tart's knickers.

"Hmmm... the page you're looking for isn't here."

You have GOT to be kidding?

On publication of the latest "presentation" the SP falls 10%. That tells you everything you need to know about the presentation. Pure marketing. Empty hype.

... agreeing to this:

CrystalBallBroke - Yep, I've had my own run-ins with HL too on these very matters. How they get away with it is anyone's guess. Even today, another of my holdings (on the AIM) shows a gain for the day, but the totals show no change at all from last week. Their explanations for this sort of thing are so convoluted that I just fall asleep.

Sorry, fleccy - bloody autocarrot again!

fleecy - "What RNS?"

Sorry, I meant a Reuters report.

Hi Fairy,

Hopefully the reappearance of your holding with HL (under the ticker BHPL) will have settled your nerves again. For today they're trading as though you've just bought a new holding, so there won't be any day gain/loss info until tomorrow. GL.

It's interesting, though, that LSE (here) is showing BT down 2.18%, but HL is showing it as down 0.71%. Both are supposedly on 15 minute delays.

Don't worry, BT is climbing back. You can rarely take opening movements as true indicators of what the SP will do, especially at the start of the week.

Jan 30 (Reuters) - Britain's Virgin Media and its
shareholders, Liberty Global and Telefonica SA,
have kicked off talks with infrastructure investors to
raise millions of pounds to fund full-fibre broadband rollout
for about 7 million homes across the UK, Sky News reporter Mark
Kleinman tweeted on Sunday.
