Hi Libero, Yes it’s not uncommon for Divi stocks to drop the day after ex Div by roughly the value of the divi, as people churn there money to the next Divi share near ex Divi date. This is also why we saw some sells prior to Divi, I.e. if they only got in for 20% ish Divi and the rise alone gave them greater than that, they could sell early and move it t another Divi stock sooner and not get snared with the drop we see this morning. As you say we live and learn, I did my learning on CCH.

Ultimately per my comments last night I still see this trading back up in the next few weeks, so no bother unless we want the money out now (which I don’t, it’s a buy and hold for me at the min).

Ditto added some to the kids ISA’s too. Confident of FTSE100 an a further rise, and Then more FTSE100 tracker funds buying in, as well as hitting divi reliant funds radars.

Westminster Group Plc (AIM: WSG), a leading supplier of managed services and technology-based security solutions worldwide, is issuing a trading update for the 6-month period to 30 June 2020 ahead of its 2020 unaudited interim results announcement which is expected to be released on 14 August 2020.

Ha, quite right with the little Britain reference. Ref profit is like us to be in Operating profit not this EBITDA nonsense.

If it’s not kind, don’t post it.
If it’s not true, don’t post it.
If it’s not necessary, don’t post it.
If it doesn’t improve our collective knowledge, don’t post it.

Sound fair?

News was well received and seems out of home wasn’t a concern for the market so well done to all holders, a nice rise yesterday.

I suspect they anticipate the SP opening lower the day after Ex Divi date, so figured they'd take x% now than wait 9 days for 7%.

Cant say I agree but if they have somewhere they'd rather have their money for the next rise/divi it may explain it.

Amazing... thanks for sharing.

And filtered...

My presumption is people who think tomorrows results will show a weak "out of home" sales getting out, and those who think it'll be better than expected getting in.

That's what it boils down to for me tomorrow.

Its a punt either way for me, as such I was out above £21. Will be back in if we see 18.50 again.

Puts us easily in the automatic promotion zone.

Thanks Libero,

I actually peeked at your positing history noticed you were in there. I normally stay clear of miners as generally arent ethical and dirty buggers so dismissed it, but with the bigger picture view will take another look. In returning the favor, I've been using ETF's for easy exposure to broad spectrum of ethicals, such as Rathbone Ethical Bonds (for bond exposure), done OK YTD but stepped out for now waiting for the wave 2 leg down, other is Kames Ethical Equity, unfortunately heavy on education, conferencing and FMGC all mostly hit hard, so again out waiting for leg down but will prob be back in oct or Nov or whenever it happens.

In my view, whilst I have zero confidence in the BOD or anything they say, financially looking we do have an AIM company exceeding rev forecasts, and EBITDA, if we can tip a operating profit, then fiscally it’s strong for aim when excluding the BIO’s. especially in the current climate.

I live in hope that this will be enough to attract some new money to take us 10p+

FTSE100 hear we come...

Quite right Jolly, Libero’s been sharing great insight and cheerleading ;-)

Yes prudent move keeping that higher, gives them head room to maybe announce share but back again on next results, depending on 2nd wave trading performance, if impact is bad it still gives head room to weather it.

Looks like a good performance to me. Amongst all the good financial indicators it’s good to see the “carbon neutral” pledge at a time I’m converting my PF to ethical trading too.

Yes also keen to see the results in the AM. Looking more towards 4.40 as fair value but current climate agree 400p is my target along with Divi pushing 30p.

Yes would be nice to close above 300p today an hold or gain on Monday. Then I hope Tuesdays results will take care of the rest.

What are people’s thoughts?
