Nervous - Exactly. It is only market sentiment which is driving this share down at the moment. Invest £100,000 at the current price and the yield is 8.98% pa. No brainer if you're after income. Any capital gain on a future rise in the SP is an additional bonus

Why is this share dropping like a stone?

ignoring the effects of the 13.9p dividend the SP is actually down 2p today. Not worrying at the moment.

You would expect the SP to drop 13.9p tomorrow morning to reflect the dividend. Anything less than that is a bonus.

I meant the yield on the dividend due this week

Buy these before 4.30pm tomorrow and the yield is 5.54% based on the current SP. Likely to tempt a few buyers between now and then me thinks.

Sorry, 2.45!

Given the drop today (thanks Yanks!) I will be happy with 1.45 on Thursday when it goes ex-dividend!

Why is everyone having a go at Kewjosh? In his opinion the recent SP surge has run out of steam and there is likely to be a correction downwards. He has stated his reasons why he thinks this. What 's wrong with that? Just because he has an opinion different to someone else is no reason for the constant attacks. Give the man a break.

I've lost track of the times I've gone long on a spreadbet only to have the SP fall rapidly (RR is an example). You can never tell. Nothing wrong with a short spreadbet if that's your personal opinion. You can never accurately predict in this game.

A lot of posters on here predicting a SP rise following the results on Thursday.

The truth is : no-one knows how the market will react in Thursday, certainly not us.

It's not what we think chaps - it's what the market thinks. I've lost count of the number of times I have read great comments about results at 7a m only for the SO to rank at 8am.

Is it supposed to bounce up off 1.03 or bounce down!

Slift - I don't know whether Jim is American (because he keeps referring to IRS) but I'm afraid his advice is incorrect. Capital Gains/Losses on share dealing is not self employment. You calculate the Gains for the year and take off the losses for the year to get your net Capital Gain. When using losses from a previous year don't forget that you also have a CG allowance to set off against your net Gain before you use any previous year's losses. For 2020/21 the allowance is £12,300.
A word of warning - calculating Capital Gains on share dealing can be complicating especially if you are buying and selling the same share as there are "pooling" and 30 day rules. If your share dealings are complicated - use a reputable accountant to work out your Gain. Also, I note that you say that your Gain for the year will be offset by losses brought forward and therefore there will be no gain. If that is the case then you do not even have to inform HMRC.

Just to correct certain points.
1) If you fill a tax return yes you have to complete the employment pages as well as the CG pages
2) You only have to summarise the CG on the CG pages on the Tax return
To correct Botbot:-
If you are an employee then any business mileage you do in your own car (excluding home to work travel) should be claimed from your employer.
You can claim for the additional costs of lighting/heating/ etc of working from home. However, this is likely to be small.
You can only backdate a claim for 4 years but if you do, you're likely to be asked for evidence to substantiate your claim.

Had problems with my computer this morning because it was showing RR in the blue. It seems to be working fine now though.

Thanks 77. I was just having strawberry jam on toast for my breakfast!
