I just got a few more at 2900 |
I suppose all these analysts have to say something, Buy, sell, hold, otherwise no commission for the brokers, no money for brokers if we all bought and held for years like me, lol. |
Just to put the recent negative comments about the AIM market into persoective, there may be plenty of duds (which can be avoided) but it's possible, through diligent research, to invest in growing and profitable companies which offer stunning capital returns. Adding these to one's balanced portfolio makes eminent sense.
For instance, take these two companies
Judges Scientific - £14 in 2015, £106 today
Renew Holdings - 49p in 2006, £10.90 today
Not to mention reasonable dividends, especially in Renew. |
According to SA 'breaking news' an analyst at BTIG has raised a red flag over the consumer staples sector going forward.Whether that has to do with the share price drop who knows |
Fenners66 Did I not say dyor in my post? I've never invested in AIM stocks....those that do do so at their own risk.There's a reason why they on AIM |
Wow that's a gift hopefully just jumped in bought at 2903p. |
A bit of profit taking / a move back towards big tech I suspect.
I still think a move closer to / just above 3000 is on pre the divi.
Good luck all 👍🏻 |
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/ |

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) |
