Bullshot macro trend with a bullshot pennant triangle. Whatever all that cr@p was trying to impress us with.

It is a regular glitch on Google. This is the better site for closing prices, as it reflects the 'UT' price which is the mechanism used by the Stock Exchange SETS system for arriving at the closing price.

Hardly surprising, since I would expect the sharebase to reduce by c. 10% per year? And the certainty of a billion quid purchases over the next few months?

If they decide to allocate only Gbp 1bn (up from 750mn?). That would leave Gbp 2bn for dividends (13p including a Special, perhaps) which brings the yied to a MUCH more interesting 9%.

Anyway, let's wait and see and hope the news is good.

I did a quick 'back of the envelope' calculation.

Gbp 9 billion is 40 percent of the current market cap. Dividing by 3 years gives an average of 13 percent, or 20p per annum.

Assuming that is split 50/50 between dividends and share buybacks (5 percent of market cap), that gives a 10p dividend (6.75 percent).

Not a massive jump from the current yield. And factored in already by the teenage scribblers.

Don't book that cruise yet.

Chav.

"Keep up"??? Be careful about incivility with me Mr.46 posts, despite your obviously low class upbringing. I can take you apart word by word.

"How to make friends and influence people". Read it.

Christofer, sorry to jump in on your lovefest, but to be fair to Denby (I haven't followed his earlier posts so I can't comment on those) the price did drop to 14.02 at one point (I think around 9.30 a.m)

Excellently said, NN. I'm in 100% agreement. They always come up with (so-called "clever") explanations as to why something happened with this absolute garbage. After the event, Never before.

They are just revealed to be amateurs, time and again. Fundementals rule. This gobbledygook - designed to make them look clever - if BS.

This woman is a lightweight. It was obvious from her first Analyst presentation. All smiles no substance. Like that other woman who'll end up as your Baldy's Queen in Buck House in due course.

Smiles (forced) too much at the end of each answer.

Whadda load of Bullocks.

Thank you for your responses. Cover of 1.7 - 1.8 is pretty good, but the last update stating things were bad with advertising made me wonder. Of course if the Management changes then usually the new broom takes the opportunity to start with a clean slate on that front.

In calculating our dividend income for next year I'm taking two numbers. One with no cuts, and another with a complete cut of ITV and the Housebuilders. Either figure is sufficient for our needs.

Instead of this political loveathon between left and right, does anyone have any thoughts if the divi is under threat next year? Have the (so-called) managers given any hints on this? "Asking for a friend".

Absolutely hilarious. The idea that a massive Bank will risk its reputation on a piddly little British Company. Have you not heard of Chinese Walls between Analysts and Traders? Clearly you have no idea about Ban... oh look, I see a Goblin riding a Unicorn at the bottom of my garden. Must go...

Up 8%. Boiiinnnnngggg... :-)

Oh dear dear dear Register.... you're wise not to read any PHNX updates after today's update.

Don't worry, It's dead easy to get behind that right wing rag's paywall. without parting with a penny. I do it just to head straight down to the Bitterati bar.king do.g comments. Love to read the ra.bid frothing that goes on on a daily and predictable basis...

Pandemonia, go for them all. Diversify. My Portfolios give me an 8% (tax-free as things stand) ISA income of six figures per annum.

As you say, pretty much locked in (some uncertainty about Housebuilding divis in the short term) with masses of price appreciation potential in store.

Steve, if I had to pick the one stock if I was given only one choice, it would be LGEN. It's got a great record of progressive dividends. The Insurers paid out even during Lockdown. (I've been in and out of Aviva when I thought it offered better value than Lgen) profitably. It's pretty rock solid financially (the Regulators would have it no other way), and will benefit from the Pensions knee trembler in that short lived Truss/Kwarteng regime.

He's brilliant and was spot on, but the previous two (Boris/Rishi) had emptied the Treasury with their Lockdown payments, and the UK Bond markets took it badly.

Lgen and Phnx are in my Portfolios. MNG offers a good yield, but (bar a takeover) will fight the passive investment tide over time.

Register, you sound like a complete novice to me. You asked a question "Not sure where the value is there?". I tried to give you the courtesy of a reasoned reply.

"Just looked at PHNX" to you obviously means looking at the P/bv on Yahoo. If you choose not to educate yourself by being "not interested in reading any updates". That's your loss, I frankly couldn't give a monkeys either way.

You've clearly got no clue, and I'd say, not a lot of cash anyway, if you hold only one stock.
