What article? They just reported at the top end of estimates? |
Reading article about altria and alarm bells are starting to go off in my mind
I have never regretted giving up smoking but think I might have doubts holding here
Dividend keeps me onside at moment but will be watching very carefully as the article has raised doubts
Might be a storm in a teacup but assuming my favourite place for the moment |
Who's left to sell, that is the mystery. Surely everyone that wanted to sell is out already! |
In regards to buybacks, the company not wishing to affect the share price too much lets them get those shares cheaply so they buy more shares and save more on dividend payments in the long term, this is one interpretation anyway lol |
If the doesn't like like the logic of the buy back it simple marks the price down.It's the forces of the market that manipulate the share price.. Down we go atm |
If I understand BB's correctly, they are done on average weighted volumes, so as not to have too significant an impact on daily price movements. Otherwise, you could really manipulate the price. Even in a stock of this size. |
Any one know the logic behind the drop in buyback to 210 thousand from the previous 280/300 thousand when the buyback started.
Or am I fretting about nothing more than an adjustment to spin the buyback out for a longer period.
Would be a sensible move in light of the haphazard machinations in the market
Hopefully share price will pick up as we near dividend being paid at beginning of May. |
For my sins i acquired some more here at 2351p.My rationale being PM came out with good results concerning their non-combustibles product growth for Q1,gbp/usd is lower and PM is close to a 52 week high for its share price BATS is far closer to its 52 week low than it is to its 52 week high.Also buy backs should in theory put some floor price under the share price around this level.The UK government vote on prohibiting 18 year olds from smoking is also behind us now as a distraction/drag for the share price Plus the ftse100 is on a roll at the moment. Well that's my thinking anyway.More of the 10% yield is quite some compensation if i'm proved wrong.The risk/reward as a value investment looks compelling.I thought the same was true at £29-£30 so i feel i have to keep adding at these levels when i have the funds available. |
An accumulation sideways trend is consolidation until it moves in a direction atm it's in a bear flag consolidation so it probably will be down but like I said who knows?? |
Not sure myself. I mean it could be, but not nailed on yet IMO. I think we are simply range bound until the next update, but obviously if we finish below the 50 and we get confirmation over the next couple of days, then your spot will be right.
I have been toying with the idea of buying a few for a side pot trade, but it 'felt' like we wanted to go lower (back at 2250), so I held off.
10% dividend though, so worse potential value traps for a trade, especially if the BOD keep doing the basics right, which should eventually see us trading back a good deal higher than 23 quid anyway, IMO. |
#Mcunliffe1, that was the logic yes, but in reality how many ISA holders are there in the UK that have already maxed out their limit, and can go another +5..?
1M holders would direct GBP5BN into the UK listings, significant yes, the FTSE100 has a 2TR valuation so it would add just 0.2%, and that is is if it all went into the main market listings which is small change in reality..
Better to make the London market more investible with consistent fiscal policy, lower interest rates, corporation tax breaks for investing in your own business and encouraging SME instead of penalising them by withdrawing tax breaks for company directors.. Grrrr, Brexit has not helped at all, but we wont mention that.. :o) |
I suspect because JH wants to attempt to 'direct' that extra £5k to UK stocks rather than elsewhere in the world. |
Final batch waiting dividend income here too, 80% complete and 20% to go, the price does not matter so much now with the majority of the position built.. :o)
Why did JH not just raise the ISA allowance this year to GBP25K instead of pi55ing about with an extra layer of complexity for an additional 5K allowance subject to a review, which is not expected to add anything until July if approved.. |
Ok thanks everybody
As I said until them dividends start making an appearance my hands are tied
Thanks again |
You could equally argue for it to be an accumulation pattern. |
On the daily chart it's range bound atm I class it to be trading in a bear flagBut charts can deceive?? |
What's a bear flag please
I don t think its what I want to hear at least not until dividend is paid into my account.
Bereft of funds at moment. |
This seems to be in a large bear flag time will tell?? Anyone's guess |
Apart from GLEN. |
I've seen that trend. Same in Diageo (DGE). I hold both.
Thinking I might sell some Diageo at 08:05 tomorrow and buy same value back at 16:20.
Just need to get up in time. |
,,,,,, and such a great start to the day we're getting back in the trend of afternoon decline, waiting for £30 target then offloading how long that will be is anyones guess!! |
Yes payday 2nd May, then 13 weeks until the next dividend, I like it, better than every 6 months, lol. |
Anything and everything is struggling to make any headway.
Rapidly running out of puff(sic) the nearer we get to dividend landing in the accounts
I expect a flurry of activity over the next week and even though I have long given up the weed will continue to hold for that awesome dividend. |
