I think we could all do with a numerical example on what you mean here Trick

"Ask yourselves why certain posters spend inordinate amounts of time here? It's not for the good of YOUR health, it's for their own personal wealth."

Interesting coming from a certain type of poster...

Seems reasonable to discuss something that has been stated as "may" happen, especially when it has financial implications if it does happen.
Doubly so, in the absence of any concrete news otherwise would you bot agree Long?

They are the proportion of the dividend that you have to pay to the government as a tax.
It's a shane there isn't some sort of engine, where you could search for your answer....

For those of you who are unsure of the tax staus, in the event of a dividend or sale, please donsome investigation over the weekend.
There may well be a test in the coming weeks (or longer) that you really don't want to fail.

that the punters aren't dissapointed by the recent announcements, in fact one has to assume that their combined intelligence has it that this share is valued correctly and they are holding for further news, it is very likely that their judgements are to be acknowledged as correct although i , perhaps stupidly and stubbornly, am still holding on.

More statement of opinions as fact. You are not in a position to know what you say is true.

You are not in a position to know this with the certainty you state it. All the evidence presented through official channels doesn't support your view.
You seem to think the BOD are being dishonest in some manner? But if that's the case, why relist after the suspension?

I get your point Kira, but that wouldn't make sense. In your method, what would you do for people who sold out 6 months ago but had been in for 20 years? They need a cut surely?
You get in early on a share, you get a better price, thats your long term holder benefit

I disagree that the fsp was a failure. Sure, it didn't end with a big bang sale, but the information provided is quite positive. The point of the RNS was to disclose the information they had to.
Given the timings and proximity to the AGM, I think it's strange to assume this will drag on much longer

I'm sure I've read a similar post to that every week for the past 6 months ;-)

Fair point. May well be why. Cheers

Why not wait until the deal is over the line? Any ideas?

No one is forcing you to be invested.
There is clearly light at the end of the tunnel. An agm just around the corner. Just wait for a little longer hey

Folio, not sure what you mean here.

I think I'm on fairly solid ground here. I'm ignoring ex dividend shares etc but the simple numbers make sense.
E.g.
Company with 100 shares at £1 a share, discovers the biggest mcguffin in the world and sells it for £200. Company is now worth £3 a share. Company says "dividend of £1 a share", pays it out. Company now worth £200 so £2 a share.
You get a rerate to the new value, dividend pays, price drops by dividend amount.

Yes, in the real world, it'll be more complex, but that is the simple numbers behind it.

Well depending on when the dividend is due to be paid, and whether people buying now can get the dividend, you would expect the SP to go to the dividend figure + the residual value of what remains after the sale.
When the dividend is paid, the SP would then drop by the dividend amount.
Senitment etc may make it wobble around a bit, but in general, that's what would happen with a dividend I believe

Sprry Dean, but you are making a lot of statements there as fact which are untrue or something you are not in a position to know.
You're entitled to your opinion, but please don't spout it as fact

Just pondering that myself. Free money if they know the likely divi.
If it's higher than todays SP then buy, lower then short.
It will be interesting if that is allowed

Leeds works for me too. Maybe the good captain can set up an email address we can all coordinate through

There could be argument on whether the head on the Guiness was going to settle at 1/4 pint
