yielding almost 5.6% p.a. even after taking transactional costs into account, who can resist these returns? almost 3.7% of this will be calculated 10 days from today(final dividend at 31p) and shareholders to be paid on 20th march. if i can raise more funds, i will plonk more in here...i think. short wait for such a great return. i'm in! http://www.investegate.co.uk/catlin-group-limited--cgl-/rns/dividend-declaration/201402100900026594Z/

finally sold my remaining stake at this morning's spike to raise some funds because i am looking at another share to buy at the right time. good luck to you if you remain invested.

although it's been some months, i am happy that the patience is finally paying off....glad to see this breaking past previous short term highs. still an amazing yield at this price.

From the article linked below :- 3) The rumour mill could be wrong Ugly rumours abound about Standard Chartered. Some say it is sitting on a barrel-load of toxic loans, others suspect it is heading for a rights issue. The unexplained departure of finance director Richard Meddings has added to the uncertainty. So far, these remain ugly rumours. Management insists the bank’s balance sheet is “highly liquid, conservative, and well diversified by product, by industry and by geography”. If management is telling the truth, Standard Chartered should muddle through its current worries, and you’ll be glad you dived in at this dangerous moment. http://www.fool.co.uk/investing/2014/02/04/5-ways-standard-chartered-plc-could-make-you-rich/ well in my opinion, if management makes the effort to respond and address towards rumours, for such a highly publicised & established bank, it seems more than likely to me that the rumours are just that - rumours. with growth rates at double digits for quite a few countries in emerging markets except that one time hit from korea, the market is surely overpunishing STAN's share price.

most shares are tanking. i believe this is due to wed & thu where the fed will meet to decide on tapering measures. perhaps buy in again on friday after full details are known. with china's PMI drifting below 50 and if the fed announces further tapering, this could scare the markets further, other than the ongoing emerging markets rout.

"The shares are trading at a 14% discount to the last-reported tangible net asset value. Forward earnings cover the dividend around two-and-a-half times for 2015 and the forward dividend yield is about 4.7%." http://www.fool.co.uk/investing/2014/01/27/how-will-standard-chartered-plc-fare-in-2014/ the article was written when price was hovering at around 1321p. seems like good value to me. doubled up my stake here....it's been a while since i touched banks, but i hope for the best. good luck all.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/markets/questor/10581643/Questor-share-tip-Imperial-Tobacco-remains-a-solid-investment.html forecast dividend for this year is 127p and with the shares at 23 quids a pop, it is still a 5.5% yield.

pocketed the big fat dividend at last week's close and today i checked to see IMT rallying more than my purchase/top up price. happy!

You're welcome.

well i sure hope so. after running through some numbers the past few days, i decided to buy a small stake before closing today. good luck to all in here.

not sure how accurate this 50% upside hogwash could be but the dividend of 5.25% at today's ex-div price is true. http://seekingalpha.com/article/1945821-imperial-tobacco-up-to-50-percent-upside-5_25-percent-dividend

didn't know you'd decided to jump in! welcome aboard. :) good luck to us.

well if the share price doesn't rebound from current level when the divi notifications are published this weekend over mass media, i reckon it will rebound after ex-divi which should be from around 2140p but i would have pocketed the divi by then. seems to me like a win-win situation so that's why i bought in again. yes, on ex-divi date, the share price will reduce by divi amount.

no worries mate. to be honest, i think it's a whole crock of s h i t e because i don't believe cigarette sales will decline a lot due to that piece of news. but it created a good buy-in opportunity again, for the dividend payout next week. hence, i have bought in again today, ready to buy more if it drops further. currently yielding above 5% p.a. too. all the best.
