by the way, i sold half of mine too, at 93,45p, thought it was a good price too, and that it would reetrace more than the 2.7p

only ever dealt in straight trading. how do cfd s work, is there a spread or something, as shares will nearly certainly drop by something in the morning, probably the 2.7p, so if you 'sold' today at 93.3p where is the risk .

just checked the 6 month chart, a 10% rise if you cah in today,

yep, if you sell today, but youve had a good run for your money and shares will retrace tomorrow. so ????

no. as long as you are holding the shares at close of business today, ( ie before ex div date) you will get the dividend. you can sell the shares tomorrow if you like and still get the divi, but be aware that the share price usually drops tomorrow by the amount of the dividend but then rises in the longer term again.

yes they certainly do. 2.7p. more than 3%, Payment is made Ist June, on a top broker rated share, still on the way up. go on, fill yer boots.

thats it.we are there.

nearly there. still worth a small buy as i think retrace will just be short term. ive been in these shares for 7 or 8 years through think and thin and think £1 is a bout the correct market value. but what do i know, its fate is in the hand of the gods, not us underlings on these sites.

small rise tomorrow me thinks for 2.7p / share dividend, hopefully only a small retrace after that.

i only bought in 3 weeks ago, i thought they were cheap and heading in the right direction, the dividend was a bit of a bonus.i like the way it came back this afternoon with the other insurers, ( dont know whats wrong with Aviva though ) and i still think the £6 in short term is possible although the -5p today was abit of a setback.

looking at graph i think its heading steadily back towards £6, Give it till 19th march maybe even sooner.

93p before ex div date would be a nice place to be.

lgen shares are 5p higher this week than last week, and the dividend is only 2.7p so if you were buying just for the dividend (and you intend to sell straight afterwards) unless you think they are going to rise by a similar amount this week, to fall back by the 2.7p ex div date,you may well be paying 2p too much for them . i for one think that with broker upratings and the fact that insurance sector and lgen in general have been undervalued for the past 6 months.

generally it is better value to buy shares before the run up to ex div date , as the shares are more expensive near that date.

you would definately get the dividend but if you buy on or after the ex dividend date it means you buy the share EX cluding the DIV idend and the price generally falls by that amount the same day, look at prudential today, dividend is about 13p and sharer price has fallen by more than that, although the insurance sector has fallen in general today. hope this helps.

share price wont neccessarily go up 13p tomorrow, most of its rise may already have taken place. aviva only went up 2p ex div day and they had 15p dividend.

hold till after 14th april. to get tasty dividend

huge dividend due 3.4%, ex div 14th april and broker upgrades, fill yer boots.

it was a poor day today, not what i expected, maybe results not as good as were expected.

you must hold shares on 14th april to get dividend, its announced next week.
