So why aren't the directors filling their boots?

Thanks for that UJ. Looks worthy of a punt at this price-but only a limited one

Encouraging to see some buying this afternoon. I added today

No indication of how the monies will be deployed on receipt presumably? Cash return to shareholders or reinvested in the business?

A core holding for me. Keeps on delivering the goods year after year.

Howardzzz, Ex dividend date 23rd April

Dividend to be announced Monday 13th and paid on 12th May. Probably reduced but definitely not cancelled

Sp suggesting problems on the horizon but this has been a pretty dependable and generous dividend payer. Would they benefit from volatile market conditions? I've bought more in anticipation of July dividend.

Hi Abinv. I bought these several months ago (badly timed) and their 8% of NAV dividend policy looks like a further drop to the next one. Hopefully it's going to come through unscathed and am tempted to add some more. Your thoughts?

I sympathise ob. I average 54p but am up with the healthy dividends (so far). Adding to FGEN at the moment for yield and lower borrowings

You own over a billion shares? So you've spent at least £650,000. You're either very rich, very brave or very foolish. Best of luck to you.

Could well be right Trotsky. 4p (10p for the year) would be quite acceptable for me.

Interesting to see what the 'bumper' dividend for May will be-due soon.

Deal should close in next 2 months increasing cash holdings by about £288mill. They might be tempted to pick up a bargain in the current market.

Trouble is you can't trust the management not to sell down SBTX and PBX stakes if cash needed. They've done it before with Skin.

Seems that plenty of investors here have patience in spades but have been rewarded by huge losses. In the long run we're all dead. Even so I'm going to add a few more on Monday. Such is life!

End of April. Can't believe this company is only worth c£10million . The free float is tiny though

Unless Stonehage falls through (can it?) there's a good chance of a special dividend later in the year. A class act on a ridiculous discount to nav. The company's buying back shares and I'm buying in.

Agree. Late April seems likely- 3 months after the last one

The knock on effect negatively impacts multiple businesses. Higher costs-lower profits-job threats-lower confidence hence people spend less. Simples I would have thought
