Sorry to disappoint, but the 30p will be deducted from the share price when the dividend is paid unfortunately. This is just how the stock market and dividends work.
It may be the case that the share price rises in advance of the dividend. This is dependant on the market. However, it could equally fall ahead of the dividend, depending on how the market currently views the valuation of this company.
My personal opinion on this is that the share price will probably rise over the coming weeks. Hence why I am continuing to hold here.
