There appears to be a lot of talk on dividends being withheld. Maybe from those who want to make money from a falling share price.

There are a lot of companies like BP and RDSB feeling the pain from this virus and in BP’s and RDSB’s case a trade war between Saudi and Russia plus the fact that all demand is at an unprecedented low yet last week both BP and RDSB paid its dividend.

Who really knows ?

HoratioPosted March 30, 2020 at 2:16 pm | PermalinkOn testing, the esteamed German microbiologist Sucharit Bhakdi's letter to German Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel has has much press in Germany and none here. See link below: it raises very serious questions about the economic destruction we are bequething, probably, to our grandchildren.He is clear:1 fatalities are being unjustly ascribed to Covid.2 Much more of the population has had the virus than we understand through negligible testing and the Germans have done far more than us.3 infection does not mean disease. This is not how we measure infections. An asymptomatic person or what not requiring hospitalization should not be counted in the same way4 it is not accurate to compare italy and spain with uk and Germany. The situations are quite different and to threaten italian level of deaths is wrong. One reason being that typically in those countries old and young live together.We need to be more critical and how we classify this and mass testing will help but likely shame the authoritieshttps://swprs.org/open-letter-from-professor-sucharit-bhakdi-to-german-chancellor-dr-angela-merkel/

As George Michael would have said quietly:

Car-less whisper

About nine out of ten new cars are on finance, and that's been the case for quite a few years, ticking time bomb??

If you are up to your eyeballs in debt, tuff.

Mine has 4 wheels.

5 gears plus a reverse gear and a handbrake.

I also benefit from light steering.

Lucky.

Owning is all very well...but which car?...

[gaffer73] 30/3/2020 17:20

As the dividend has already been declared the company has a legal requirement to pay it.

[neilyb675] 30/3/2020 17:18

[neilyb675] 30/3/2020 17:15

The more I work the luckier I get.

Same as Gary Player.

[diku] 30/3/2020 17:14

[neilyb675] 30/3/2020 17:13

Ekuuleus - As I am sure that you know Preference's are just that for dividends. Dividends on the Prefs could be cancelled - it would mean of course that dividends would have to cancelled first on the Ords. ie dividends can not be paid on Ords before Prefs.
Holding both Ords and Prefs in Lloyds is a risk that I will reduce.

What do you disagree with? It is a fact and has happened before.

The USA are winning the battle of 'chickens' between the fiat giants, the Euro v US$.

World debts are based in US$, debtors has to have US$ to pay off their debts, therefore the US$ is getting stronger and stronger...until the US$ floods back to the USA...then BOOOM!!! SHTF situation and maybe hyperinflation in the USA!...but hey..not to worry too much, a new world currency will be announced, and if you're lucky, you wouldn't be wiped out!

Enjoy the US$ whilst you can!


Cheers

All of those people handing back their leased BMW's and Mercs.
It will be back to public transport or bicycle for them.

The real status from now on will be driving an older car.
They are owned.

Attractive young girls will say once again, 'I went out with him because he had a car'.
It is all very retro, like the Queen's old dialling telephone. Only for top people.
