Divi yield is only 3% tho!

[pvb] 28/1/2016 17:20

Down nearly 5% today and yet the results looked OK. Is this getting a bit silly?

ADVFN financials are showing a PER of 6.4

I wasn't planning on buying any more but I am starting to wonder.

Indecisive election result that might cause instability.Rahoys PP still the largest party but likely coalition partner did not do well enough to achieve an overall majority. Having said all the party leaders look good people but if there were a left coalition in a while might it invite the troubles Greece has been through. Spain has ridiculously high unemployment but you cannot cure it politically by the state robbing Peter to pay Paul. Santander is a global bank and diversified revenues provide insulation but there are serious issues in Spain. The best achieving bank in Spain recently has been La Caixa - the one that took over Barclays spanish unit.Spain will be ok as long as it can hold together.

Dividend Election (a bit late):

[riskflair] 06/10/2015 13:26

Is the share price merely following the FTSE rise, or is it based on the hope that the recent Portugese election results are mirrored in Spain ? Hoping this is the start of a recovery, so that I can release funds for Lloyds in 2016 :)

A sharp upward is long overdue. Santander has lots of potential. Next ex dive date coming soon and possible a q3 update.
