Pushing for the divi payment, what a bore. SMIF insist they have forwarded sufficient funds to HSBC to meet ALL dividend commitments, so the fault lies with the broker. So there you have it HSBC, why the delay? ATB all.

Month for the real estate giant. Goldman Sachs going Landsec bullish for'24 has acted as a shot in the arm for our venerable blue chip. I wlll hold tight as the generous quarterly divis make this a confirmed keeper. Gl all.

Last time HSBC blamed SMIF so let's see what happens this time - I've just dashed off yet another moaning email to Invest Direct which last time prompted a next day payment, hmm. Who needs the hassle? Atb

Another delayed dividend payment for me - this should have gone in on the 1st. HSBC, SMIF, whoever, get your finger out, I've Christmas shopping to do.

That's good news: profits and turnover up, total assets climbing, Still squabbling in the ranks over re-election of directors but don't we just love a good soap opera. GL holders, spectators.

Where's my dividend? Fingers crossed for monday - I've just dashed off another 'enraged of Neasden' style message to those ultra polite HSBC chat bots, quaking in their boots.

Same problem here Lti. HSBC blame SMIF for not allocating sufficient funds. However 2 weeks plus seems like a long time to get it sorted. Frustrating. Bw

Looks like a giant hike: a pay out of 82p a share is almost double what was maybe expected. Well done LSC and trebles all round. GL all.

Earnings, revenue all heading north, acquisitions secured and sought, that's a solid rns. https://www.investegate.co.uk/announcement/rns/london-security--lsc/interim-results-for-six-months-ended-30-june-2023/7770812.........November's divi announcement eagerly awaited. GL all.

Own 98%, throw in miniscule HL and Jarvis etc holdings and there's not a lot left. Means my piddling little deal today makes me a major shareholder, ahem. Good or bad, let's see. GL all.

like meeting an old friend, must be 7 or 8 years since I held here. Could be time to build again: they've sold up stateside and profits are on the up after the dreaded 'C' word. Researched a number of the inns/ hotels on Tripadvisor and most receive good to glowing reviews. Won't get carried away with spending a fortune, this ain't FTSE 100 territory, however I love owning bijou boozer shares like this. All IMVHO and definitely DYOR. GL holders, spectators (rare as hen's teeth).

£120 a share...well that's some consideration when investing here. This year's curiosity company for me, well run, micro managed: had a bit of fun and profit previously with CAM,HCFT then BMTO so let's wait and see. GL holders, spectators.

Excellent day in GSK land, share price on the up and a hefty dividend received. Said divi languishing in my stocks and shares isa, wonder if it's taxed if transferred first into my ordinary current account then the wife's social fund...hmm, must contact HMRC. GL all

Incrementally over the last year and a half. Here's blue chip royalty in all its stodgy dependability: invest, walk away and get on with life...can't knock it. Luck to all.

Well Dino you could be right, although looking at the RNO operations map on their website there appears to be very little activity in Putinistan. Europe, India, Indonesia, South America and USA all feature heavily: maybe a raw material supply issue but let's wait and see , eh? Good luck with your investments and hope you cheer up despite these gloomy times, the Ukraine tragedy certainly gives a new perspective on everything. ATB

Cloud clearing in all areas ARBB, sunshine all the way...well at least for today. Luck to all.

Maybe these low volumes won't help to narrow the HUGE spread. A tasty February trading statement with a dash of special divi may do the trick. Back to sleep. GL out there.

and Renaissance supply problems pulling on this, otherwise an improving picture https://www.investegate.co.uk/arbuthnot-banking--arbb-/rns/third-quarter-trading-update/202110200700065932P/ GL all

The final distribution pay out looks rather juicy. Have held these for a couple of years and find SMIF's monthly dividend policy very attractive. A Portfolio cornerstone for me, although each to their own. Luck to all.

along like my pet tortoise Archie, though there's no food bills or mucking out with CGT. Painfully slow, yet a better return over the year than from my HSBC Flexible Savings a/c. Dour, conservative fare, just how we like it. GLA
