Their South African card service broke down this pm, unnerving and embarrassing....

Looking good...https://www.investegate.co.uk/announcement/rns/jtc--jtc/full-year-results-for-year-ended-31-december-2023/8126959 In fact looking rather fantastic. Already priced in or a decent rise today? Whichever, happy times, gla

Riskingit, Tom,

Thanks for the info, bit of a schoolboy error on my part., atb

Less than half....clearly rattled.

Looked forward to the 2.06 dividend pay out this a.m. and I find it's .85, half of what I expected. Hicl refer you to the prospectus of 4/3/19 where it states that a divi portion will go for tax purposes.....should have done my homework! gl

Customary plodder recently showing more life than usual. No surprise as that last trading update noted 'excellent organic growth and record new business in 23'. Seems safe and steady imvho so added to my ssi. Gl all.

Fabulous rns and loving the increased dividend. Gl all

Bridgepoint owned Moto GP up for grabs and sparking bags of interest - Liberty Media heading the queue. A billion dollar + deal imminent looking good for BPT. GL holders, spectators.

Hold these in my isa.....KLR operations in Aus and North America churning out the profits, other regions less so but the future looks rosy. Hoping for good news early march. gl

2023 profit of E80 mil just announced, solid performance. Full year's results 8th March.

Sure is. The rns hints at 2 camps basically slugging it out for ascendancy. C'mon, pull together: mtvw is solvent, has bags of history and appears to have a relatively unique business model. Funny old world...gla.

Concise summary, thanks Lti. Happy to be holding here.atb

Regular income returns and finally, some capital appreciation. Oh and dividend paid on time - as good as it gets. Any downside here? After nearly 2 years, the pessimist in me says too good to be true but what's to derail it...touch wood. GL all.

In this morning, still no show but they are in my account. A tad obscure but the fundamentals look good. Could be lonely here. Luck of the Irish to holders, spectators.

Month's

Last months, this months all paid up, relief.

Me too lti. The 'complaints officer' was conveniently out of the office this morning so no joy, although a message would be passed on. I managed to remain civil but hinted at ombudsman involvement. Honestly, they're behaving like a back street second hand car dealership...

Progress of sorts. HSBC 'complaints specialist' owned up to admin errors having occurred. He assured me that he would sort it either by the end of the day or early next week. Treated like royalty I was, ahem, although actions speak louder etc.

HL look after my wife's divis Tom. In her experience they are very prompt with all payments, usually on or around the 12th of each month (HSBC take note).

I'm loath to sell SMIF as it's been a terrific income stock for me over the years. With the share price looking a tad more energetic, it's one I want to hang on to, so I hope all's settled by next week. Happy updating LTI, gla.

LTI

Nothing showing in my account today. November's bumper pay out went in 3 weeks late and the December 1st divi is now 4 weeks (!) late....The HSBC agent who is dealing with the problem actually phoned yesterday so I must be ruffling a few feathers. He suggested that SMIF were at fault, so it's become a blame game. I will be in contact with him today as well as pressing SMIF for an explanation - last time they 'denied any wrong doing' (groan) and implied HSBC inefficiency - who to believe?

I'm weary of this; if SMIF are the culprits then respect's out of the window and I will sell up next week and add to my blue chips which have always paid divis a day early ie PHNX, GSK. Investing should be fun and worry free, eh? ATB

Aye Gold, a poor show from HSBC. At first they blamed SMIF who were astonished when contacted, by both the accusation and the delay. Hsbc then admitted only partial culpability, citing custodian tax complications. Their agent admitted to never having known of such a delay (4 weeks!) and promised to get back to me within 1 working day. Unsurprisingly that never happened as it fitted in perfectly with the cavalier, uncaring practices hsbc seem to have adopted.

I will give it until the new year, as it is a MONTHLY income payment and then regrettably fire up the ombudsman who might be able to shake things up a bit. We all have better things to be doing - what a farce! ATB
