BigRisky : "Still confident to get 300k profit on my 0.5 mln shares, can wait few more year"

With £1.5m holding in this, I can't understand why you want to waste your time on this board.

You asked the same Q on th PHNX, IDS and NWG boards...Yet you didn't on the BT.A board

Jefferies raises Legal & General price target to 255 (230) pence - 'hold'

Sasa43 - Its nothing but a pure coincidence. There may be trends in some years, but nothing's guaranteed.

Have to admit, $LGEN has done well post ex-Div.

Looks like I'll be adding to my $PHNX holding instead since that is down >10% pre-ex-Div

Historically, we've seen dips as low as that, deep in Summer. So whilst its a stretch, it may not sound ridiculous.

I hope that happens to $LGEN....I'm waiting to buyback below 230p. On the election can take it down that much with a whacky result.

I do agree, tech is looking frothy!

Don't forget, we are in that period of 'Sell in May and comeback in October'

"I sold a six figure holding in L&G last October predicated on the unrest in the world and other factors"

That's a tasty dividend in absolute terms you gave up...

Holding could have been anywhere between 100k and £999,999.99k.

I'd be losing my nut if the latter!

Done remarkably well, given ex-div history in the last few years. That said, the rest of my divi stocks have been holding up well to, post ex-Div. Some have even risen.

Been 3 years since we last saw £0.58

Nicknaim - I'm in the same boat as you. All my divi stocks in the last couple of weeks have been resilient in holding their ground ex-div.

I could just top up my MNG and PHNX holdings and wait until they rise 10pc from here.

Agreed LGEN haven't stayed elevated at these levels for long, especially since we're in that silly season of 'sell in May and comeback in October'. Could be wrong this year.

PS : Anyone know what happened at 10:10am? fat finger? Bit of a sharp spike down.

Crossley - DO you stick with those funds and weightings?

Fair points, except the risks of selling before XD and hoping to buyback at a price lower than the dividend was declared by numerous people. I did that this time (not bought back in yet) and for the time being, it looks like I've missed out.

But I've done this for 3 years in a row and profited very well.

I certainly wouldn't advise anyone to follow my lead. Each to their own. What I've achieved in the past is no indicator of future performance.

Antonvb - I'm too afraid to click on those links....Can't afford to risk malware.

You do know there's serious flooding in Kenya at the moment? Just go to the BBC site --> News --> World --> Africa.

With that, you believe they're going to announce a positive deal with tlw?

Deutsche Bank initiates Oxford Nanopore with 'buy' - target 190 pence

Totally agree Broomtree.

Different companies. Despite the 7%div, Nextstar is vulnerable to the vague IRA shennanigans in the US. Solar companies are struggling owing to over capacity in China and poor efficiency...

Its worth a punt, but I certainly wouldn't put a similar portion of my savings in NESF as I do with MNG, PHNX, and hopefully soon LGEN again.

PHNX.L is another option having sold at 556p before ex-div. Bought back in at 502p, but could pile my LGEN eggs in to that basket too for a while...

decisions. decisions

C'est la vie.

I could just buy back in now and have my artificial divi with no further gain...but I feel a littl greedy.

MPO818 -Indeed....Looks that way

PRetty sure the FED will hold rates at 7pm UK time (decision quite unanimous) and the commentary will be that inflation is still stubborn there, especially given recent numbers. No clarity on when the FED will drop rates, raising doubt over a 25bps cut this year.

Stocks will tank there, and then tomorrow FTSE will follow suit.....

If it transpires, then I get a full year's worth of dividend (after commission and stamp duty) having sold my LGEN holding for 251p a few days before exdiv......

Let's see if I get this right. (BTW...I tend to miss out on further drops after I purchase shares, so anyone waiting in the wings to buy...... I'd wait until after I purchase......and you'll get a better price based on track record.....:))) )

PRetty good endorsement. When is TLW CEO going to do the same?
