Why didn't VD just push her luck and let him sign off as he threatened?

Was she under strict instructions (earpiece) not to lose the call?

BTW : WHat is a Deputy Assistant? JD Vance is VP. But what does a Deputy Assistant do? I think Musk's DOGE need to look into that role......That would be a real example of removing inefficiency.

Jim800 - Have you ever watched US NEws? Its dire!

No wonder Piers Morgan got a job there.

TheTrotsky "s, let alone longer. one of his poisonous minions (a pompous, self-important, arrogant, pea**** promoted way beyond his pay grade) was "interviewed" on newsnight last night (he was so demeaning i wouldn't have blamed victoria derbyshire for simply cutting him off) "

Was that Sebastian Gorka?

Have you read his bio? I wonder what his real belief is on Russia invading Ukraine and where he stands? With Vance and Trump?

Robleo - " or reinvest dividends"

those who held on ex-div won't be able to buy atm since the payout lands in May.

So its only repurchase or buy more or start a new position by switching out of something else

Personally I think yesterday's 10% tariff on the UK was quite positive. Not sure if Starmar can pull a rabbit out of the hat and get something smaller. I still don't see the finer details....I'm seeing reports of exemptions on certain classed of products. I wonder if it only ends up targetting small amount of products and ends up being more media attention.

Phnx has done well to recover a bit sitting at 549p at the time of writing.........Historically High yielders have trended lower after ex-div (look at $MNG), so I'll wait some days before buying back in. Who knows, it may trace back up to 572p sharpish based on strong fundmentals.

Nothing is certain.

GLTA!

Roger17111 - Your trade has to execute successfully before 4.30pm today (BST)

I'm out at 572.4p.

I've done ok buying at 502p. I miss the divi, but I'm crossing my fingers that it'll drop >27p tomorrow and more based on the Trump tariffs.

Regardless...GLTA

Robleo - I had to do an about turn on my target buy price and buyback at 198.5p this afternoon. Not sure I'm going to be online this week when I need to.

So not a bad trade. Sold at 218.5p pr something day before ex-div and bought back in at 198.5p. Of course, once you deduct selling--> buying fees, stamp duty and a ptm levy, I managed to raise my holding by ~9.5% without extra cash injection.

PHNX is up next and then LGEN.

GLTA

Robleo...I reduced my buy limt from 197p to 190p.....Wednesday might be a good day to see this, unless Trump decides to hold back on his beloved tariffs.

CarpeDiem1 - No CGT if done in an ISA.

If selling and buying with £20k ...its worth something.

If I had chosen to buyback the same number of shares at £2.035 today (rather than setting a buy order at 197p), I would bag just over £1300.

Whilst you and some on this board would say "why bother", but this gamble enabled me to acquire this dividend and then some, today and not wait until May 2025. I get the dividend now to spend as I please rather wait some weeks.

If I sold yesterday at 218.45p and I bought back today at 203.5p, that's more than fractions of a penny, even after selling and buying fees + SD.

(This strategy is not worth it if talking about a holding of say £1000 in MNG.)

Thanks Reader61....

I actually bag a little more than the Final dividend if I choose to buy the same qty and bank the cash instead of DRIP.

Its a risky move that didn't initially pay off with $LGEN last time around I think.. But MNG has been reliable with that strategy for a few years.

@Market-Dealer "Done my shopping.....Time to chill and wait for the 240p+....otherwise 10% yields....ATB"

You still haven't elaborated on your "LOL....you shouldn't be investing mate, all wrong." comment.

RE: SP DropToday 09:48

**Ooof. Worked a treat. Sold my entire holding yesterday at 218.4p. Can buy back today in an ISA and capture the Final divi of 13.5p and a bit more cash after buying + selling fees..**

LOL....you shouldn't be investing mate, all wrong."

Care to explain? I can buy back right now the same qty I had yesterday and have more than the final dividend in my account now rather than waiting until May. Or I can buy back with the same funds I had yesterday and effectively DRIP the amount, andbuy more shares than I had yesterday buy more than the dividend amount ...Of course if you automatically DRIP the dividend then in Ma, you may get a better price than me and buy back more than if I pull the trigger right now.

Please elaborate your one line -er.

Ooof. Worked a treat. Sold my entire holding yesterday at 218.4p. Can buy back today in an ISA and capture the Final divi of 13.5p and a bit more cash after buying + selling fees..

But going to hold. I've set a buy limit of 197p . Let's see if with all this Trump-onomics, I can bag the full dividend instead of just the final.

Get the refinancing done and get a new CEO in who can do deals, then get Kenya moving again. I think the Kenyan government haven't wanted the project to g"

Oh no..not Kenya again?!?!

Calokey - It'll track lower over a few days. But yes, I'm betting it'll reduce by an annual dividend (Not the final/interim amount) amount next week, unless there's some positive UK economy news.

Oh no....not this again.

Why does antonbv rely on the most obscure of media outlets?

I'm genuinely afraid to click on a link originating from Kenya.

As for twitter...its controlled by Musk. Hardly freedom of speech.

"Surprised this is slipping back so quick before X-dividend date,going to be around 200p after x-div again that's the time to add here" - Hope so. I want to add below 200p if possible.

That and $LGEN, but I'll have to wait until 24th April for that one.

Berenberg raises Phoenix Group price target to 850 (650) pence - 'buy'

That's some raise!

If the Labour government and Tories before them, think that heavily taxing HBR to the kilter despite, them earning Windfall tax and income tax + NI on UK employees' pay is a good thing, HBR should exit. UK has enough of a problem with energy security. We'd much rather be held to ransom. You can't be certain how much of the oil goes to our own refineries and own industries and retailers, but the infrastructure alone pays. HBR needs to abandon the UK I'm afraid.
