Any reason why its down 50p. A bit early for ex div impact. Is it profit taking? |
I must admit to being sucked in by talk of unicorns with aim stocks in the past. Bidstack and Eurasia mining to name 2 |
Aim, wild west of investing, always jam tomorrow never today. Best avoided even by the most seasoned. Look at the divs offered by BATS, legal and general, even natwest and Vodafone seen as risky by some, still a thousand fold safer than Aim. |
"don't blame others unless it's fraud or a scam."
When is a scam a scam ?
Look at the Aim market and some small caps...
Some with a 20 year history of having no business and losing £m's including serious £m's 30+ etc.
They are just "honest failure" right ?
In which case no point in blaming others according to your direction.
But those that promote these companies on these boards ,year after year...? |
Quite.Every investment carries a risk.Dyor and mitigate that risk.If you make a wrong investment choice don't blame others unless it's fraud or a scam. |
If you can't afford to lose it then don't play with it , said the actress to the Bishop. |
Usually it's people bitter for whatever reason. Could be a disgruntled former employee for whatever reason, or an investor that got unlucky and the wrong side of a trade. Best just to filter people. |
RB unfortunately these BBs seem to bring out the worst in a few people.
Sad really that some people feel the need to try to gain oneupmanship over someone they don’t know on an anonymous posting forum 🙄 |
Cheers to the both of you |
Interesting article about forecast for dividends 2025 and 2026. https://www.fool.co.uk/2024/09/10/heres-the-dividend-forecast-for-british-american-tobacco-shares-through-to-2026/ |
Give this site a try RB10.

Good luck all 👍🏻 |
Thank you.I usually get the info from the economic calendar lse board but there's no mention of BAT Sept div |
The ex divi date is the 26th. Meaning, shares bought on the 26th are not entitled to the divi. The ones who get the divi are the holders at close of market on the 25th. |
So the ex-dividend date here is 25th this month and shares trade ex-div from 26th? |
Yes you're right might get away with it on a 6 month dividend payer not quarterly payer, especially when a company has a buyback program. |
The short seller is responsible for making dividend payments on the shorted stock to the entity from which the stock was borrowed..IF Marshall Wace cover their 0.6% short before 26th, the share price should push through 3000 pence.. :o) |
Why risk it when you can sit back and collect 2.5% every 13 weeks. It's not worth the hassle in My opinion |
Too tricky on the timing imho easy to get out of pocket and I personally hate having to buy back less shares that I sold. Very little irks me more actually. |
I notice Marshall Wace have shorts at 0.6% up 0.1 from August. They must be feeling the pressure and I wonder if they are trying to hold the rise back and bale when BATS goes ex-div with the inevitable drop that accompanies an ex div. That would actually push the price up and beyond the £30 mark and bod well for us as the share buy back is coming to an end for this year. Would be nice to see a surge towards the 29th and stop losses being hit. Idle specuation on my part but one wonders. K |
Easier to achieve on 6 monthly payouts, but harder to time 3 monthly events. |
It's crossed my mind monty as we got really close to 3000 the other day and big tech started to rally too.
I held back from doing anything though as I think the broadening out will continue as interest rates come down and quality companies / high yielders come even more into focus.
3000 this year and the next divi locked in all seems very possible to me so I will stick and not try to trade it.
Good luck all 👍🏻 |
I would imagine some investors sell take a profit, then hope to buy back before ex dividend date, must admit I was thinking of it, but dangerous game, getting the timing right. Anyone else thought doing that. |
Interest rates falling in the eurozone so time for BAT Phoenix and LGEN to move higher over the next 12 months, but in some ways I hope not as I have some money to invest in April or every April. |
