CWA1 - Possibly best to get confirmation from the horse's mouth rather than rely on 'unreliable' brokers?



How do I contact Lancashire’s investor relations department?

Just for the record I tried iWeb's online chat service and they have said that it is definitely an overseas dividend!

[cwa1] 07/11/2016 10:28

Much obliged GC, that seems pretty definitive then! Thanks.

[garycook] 07/11/2016 10:20

CWA1,It is declared on my Consolidated Tax Certicate,from HL,in the schedules of UK Dividend income.

[cwa1] 07/11/2016 09:54

GC, as a matter of interest, whereabouts on HL does it say they are classed as UK dividend income please? Cheers

[cwa1] 07/11/2016 09:43

Gary, thanks. I want to AVOID buying Overseas divis in my dealing accounts but I'd like to be certain that is the case for LRE though. I appreciate your input.

[garycook] 07/11/2016 09:33

CWA1,I believe LRE Dividends are not classed as Overseas,or Foreign dividends anymore.On my HL Taxable dividends they are classed as UK dividend income.If you want to buy Foreign income shares I hold GLIF,GVC,HSD,HGM,PHNX,and RUSP,which are all Foreign dividend income shares.

Morning. Been a while since I held any outside of an ISA....can anyone tell me if my memory that LRE dividends are treated as "foreign" dividends for tax return purposes is correct? I seem to recall that it was but want to check my thoughts please if anyone can help.

Thanks

Can anyone tell me why the Mark down this morning, with the market up ?

[phoenixw2] 03/11/2016 11:36

Quite, stock +7.6% intra-day lol, his customers might just nail his balls to the front door.

[BKG +3.8% intra-day, I'm relishing feeling his pain from here...]

[phoenixw2] 03/11/2016 08:47

Thanks Stpalm I'd forgotten that site was non-$ub.
Well who'd have guessed, Odey has a reported short of -4.69% lol, let's hope he's cacking himself this morning. In news overnight he was suggesting the FTSE is going to tank 80% [YoY?]. The writer then pointed out his fund hasn't reported a profit since inception in 2014. Desperation time for an ultra-bear...

[garycook] 03/11/2016 08:47

5.28% Shorts getting there fingers burnt today.What a shame.

[garycook] 03/11/2016 08:43

Very nice.I did assume 80 cents or 60p,back on Sep 2.When the GBP/USD was 1.33.So 75 cents or around 60.75p at today,s GBP/USD rate of 1.2345.That gives a yield of around 9.3% on current 2016 dividends on the share price of 774.

Hi phoenix try this

[chester] 03/11/2016 08:15

Nice opening and a significant break of the long term trendline.

[phoenixw2] 03/11/2016 07:21

Here are the dates re the next div:

'Dividends
Lancashire announces that its Board of Directors has declared a special dividend for 2016 of $0.75 per common share (approximately (£0.61) per common share at the current exchange rate), which will result in an aggregate payment of approximately $150.0 million. The dividend will be paid in Pounds Sterling on 14 December 2016 (the "Dividend Payment Date") to shareholders of record on 18 November 2016 (the "Record Date") using the £ / $ spot market exchange rate at 12 Noon London time on the Record Date.

[phoenixw2] 03/11/2016 07:11

The headlines from the results at 7am this morning...

'GROWTH IN FULLY CONVERTED BOOK VALUE PER SHARE, ADJUSTED FOR DIVIDENDS, OF 3.1% IN Q3 2016 AND 10.5% YEAR TO DATE
COMBINED RATIO OF 73.8% IN Q3 2016, 75.6% YEAR TO DATE
SPECIAL DIVIDEND OF $0.75 PER COMMON SHARE
FULLY CONVERTED BOOK VALUE PER SHARE OF $6.55 AS AT 30 SEPTEMBER 2016 '

[phoenixw2] 02/11/2016 08:59

For sure. Last time I checked Woodford held just over 15%. Combined with BRock these holdings would make a solid 25.x% launch platform to add to whatever a predator might themselves be building up in the background. I expect the fund managers are well aware of that. So the stock is a rewarding one in it's right, and has potential as a take-over target.

- If anyone has access to the 'notifiable positions' in LRE, who if anyone is currently a material short?

[garycook] 02/11/2016 07:22

Showing confidence in LRE, for Income and growth.

[phoenixw2] 02/11/2016 07:07

RNS overnight, Black Rock now hold 10.03%

[garycook] 27/10/2016 08:23

To all LRE shareholders. I have today put a Limit sell order on my holding in LRE of £10,to stop Shorter,s from loaning the shares from my broker,which they can do for a fee,without me or you knowing about.I suggest you do the same.
