Which one monty? Sally Grimes appointed as CEO North America or Claudia Schubert, President and Chief operating officer, North America?
I'm relatively new to BACS and DGE as it happens so have no prior knowledge of these ladies. Any insight? |
Great appointment today, she's good, never thought we would get her back from Diageo. |
Could the annual Santa Rally start early, we want it it to start Tuesday after we have our extra shares in the bag, this Friday and Monday, it's where fund managers want the market up year end, for their performance and of course fees. |
I wrote software for many, many years using Microfocus Cobol on Unix machines mainly, sometimes on PC's. Very old school I appreciate but when the software was rolled out on a SCO Unix platform the reliability was phenominal.
I retired fully a year or so ago and took all my old manuals etc. to the local tip. I had no idea that MF had been taken over. So, thanks Phillis.
I suspect my cessation of programming activities had a dire effect upon MF's profits, NOT. :-) |
Just like MicroFocus eh? |
To get Bats back to same price a year ago, of 3425p, it would have to be buybacks restarted, fund managers like that.I would rather have increased dividends and compound, but either will do I suppose, lol. |
Good afternoon.Monty makes pointless predictions, I just hope folks don't believe them......he doesn't know what chuffing day of the week it is most of the time :)....do ya Monty old chap (apparently he has a very iffy filter button).Ps I do post about BATS, Monty et al just don't like what I post, correction, the immature name calling posters like Monty don't like me, nothing to do now with what I post. Oh well, perma bulls with confirmation bias isn't really the best way to play this game :)Enjoy your day - it better not make £26 now lol |
Lol, yes I take it he only posts about me, never Bats.That's why he's filtered. I thought dividend reinvestment would be around 2600p, like I said glad I'm wrong for once.More bang for our buck, as the yanks say. |
if it's below 2600p monty, discOdave will be happy as well :-) |
If we hold around 2470p to 2500p, Friday afternoon and Monday I will be happy, I thought be paying 2600p, so glad I was wrong. |
Lol I knew it dividend reinvestment Friday, they always seem to run the price up, so we have to pay up, for all those who dividend reinvest through Isa and schemes. |
i think that sounds about right yes |
Thankyou tony.
I look in at the Fix thread every so often. Clever fellas on that thread.
Looks like you yield is about 4.6% based on £50k and two months at total of £388 |
those entry & exit fees do not apply to the secondary market, i.e buying on the LSE
Yield is more th
The divis vary and i'm told they lag rates a little so it's ok while rates are climbing / on hold
I have about £50k worth and received £213.35 in Sept & will receive £174.37 tomorrow
there is some chat on QUID on the FIX thread by people way smarter than me
Yield is much more than 2.97%, obviously lots of moving parts as short dated bonds so difficult to get exact figure but more info here

just pulling your leg Monty.
FWIW QUID is a short dated gov bond ETF with a monthly dividend and probably safer / more stable than ftse 100 stocks at the moment, and ISA-able |
Everyone as a different strategy, some want a monthly income stream, tax free through a ISA. |
just seems a daft stategy buying divi stocks based on their ex div dates :) |
I'm talking really about FTSE 100. |
if you want a monthly Divi buy QUID |
Only need three shares to have a monthly income stream, GSK, Unilever, Bats, all pay quarterly and they work out a dividend for each month. Also you could have BP. |
Unlike Monty I'm prepared to hold my hand up when wrong, the oracle did say £26 by the 3rd not 1st.Still a stupid prediction, like all his others, nobody can predict the future it's pointless. |
ACTION: What do you then do with that cash?
I've looked at the 'maths' of buying shares in the company that is about to pay me a dividend a week or so before that divi is paid. Unless the amount is quite large then the difference in dealing cost at ii (£5.99 for a normal buy and £0.99 for a re-investment) makes such effort pointless.
Lately though, I have considered following your example but buying other stocks with the divi to spread my investments.
Then I hit the perennial problem: what to buy for divi yield? |
I always my divi in cash. |
But I think I said 2600p on dividend reinvestment day Friday 3rd Nov. I hope not, my dividend reinvestment in my Isa kicks in on Friday, up to the max, so can't buy now, otherwise I would have filled my boots by now. Ok if they stay this price more bang for our buck. Next ex div 21st Dec and in before then.Dividend compounding eight wonder of the world. |
