Glad to see this hasn't risen again today.

Its moving on fairly low volume but perhaps with the expectation of a lot of buys commencing on Friday. Wishful thinking that this was going to remain in the 8's.. but as you say the movement is still welcome....

Typical, this is on the rise prior to the special divi payment on Friday.

What exactly do you mean ? Stay off the drink ,darling !

Bought a few more this morning. Here for the long term but and can only see upside in the short to medium term. Many have said that over the years :-)

Yes , i would also be quite happy if the sp doesn't tick up over the coming week. A 28% share increase will be very welcome. This time next year we should be looking back at 8.5p as a distant memory.

someone over on iii was asking when the drip shares will be purchased....When a stock you own and have enrolled in a DRIP pays a dividend, those funds are automatically invested in additional shares of that company's stock (instead of being deposited into your account as cash). The shares are purchased on the payment date of the dividend. If the payment date of the dividend is on a non − trading day, the securities will be purchased on the next trading day.

Thought we may have seen a slightly larger rise on this news..early days.. factor in the 2.36p divi and we are sitting at 10.6-10.7p. A move in the right direction..

Only a guess but possibly the concert party transferring shares... a trade of this size should have dropped the sp but hasn't..

averaged down on the kids portfolio.. in for a penny...

7.7-8p. dropped full wack...

I hope we are both very wrong. With this share is i don't get sleepless nights... its just a veeeerrry sloooow burner...

Roughly £47 million to be paid out on about 80% of the shares. Correct me if i am wrong. Calculator ran out of zero's...nothing we can do about it now. Invested some of the Kids money here at close to 12.5p so feel a bit wick..it will be a good lesson for them, when i eventually tell them .-gambling never pays !! hehe

I have a feeling that we are going to see the full drop tomorrow. I believe the 1st mention of the divi was on the 7th August. We have had the 2p rise since then. Get it out of the way and see where Fortunes finances sit then.

It would be great if those figures were correct. They are even forecasting a 30-40% increase in next years divi ? If Fortunes' sp does not drop by the full amount tomorrow it will keep the interest of the new pi's. Even if it drops by the full amount i would like to see it rebound over the coming weeks. This is definitely a transitional period for Fortune. Considering that this was 12.5p almost 10 months ago and Fortune has moved on a lot from then.

Will be interesting to see how much the sp drops tomorrow. A crystal ball would be very handy at the moment. If this doesn't drop by the full 2.36p, as many suspect and hope, it will be easy money for those recent buyers. Either way i am looking forward to getting this special divi out of the way so we can get a true reflection of the sp .

It can be a very expensive hobby, just get your daughter a less expensive Xmas present. :-) ... if you have a hunt around your online site you should find that you can opt to "drip'. Hopefully this is a turning point for Fortune ! But then we have all thought that for years...g.l.

hildamay.... i suspect you are not online, having been invested for yonks. Ring your broker, as others have said, and they should be able to sort it out. g.l.

The divi is paid in cash unless you have opted for a dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP").- This is when you get the equivalent in shares. If you are online with a share dealing account the divi will be paid in immediately otherwise you will get a cheque in the post . If you are online there should be a tick box option to either take your divi as shares (drip) or cash.

any shares bought before the 9th will qualify for the divi.
