micha I love your optimism but gaps usually get filled and these have two large gaps, one way down at £23 / £24 odd and one at about £29 ish


that is true - but also a gap up to £32.74

I remain long from £26 . Added £29.98 on results day. Long term chart looks v good.
As ever i keep an open mind to both arguments.

Meanwhile, Imperial brands and British American Tobacco were in the red after US Food and Drug Administration commissioner Scott Gottlieb, who is due to step down on 5 April, said in Washington on Tuesday that a nicotine ruling is likely to be ready by the summer. He did not specifically promise a menthol ban, but he did say the FDA may consider pulling pod-based e-cigarettes.

Deutsche says 40£. Where is thanks a million and all the other shorters now? On the way to 50£

It's down about 20 quid since ex-divi day two years ago.

[p0pper] 20/3/2019 08:38

Only been in here a few months so any views from you longer termers please as to what this usually drops after XD day, just the usual divi or far more, tia

After such a good run I see a couple of gaps to fill lower down, any thoughts?

[creditcrunchies] 20/3/2019 08:03

it's the last day to get the fat dividend today after that it'll pull back a bit

[creditcrunchies] 20/3/2019 08:00

BATS pays a huge dividend though, it's rasing dividends, it's got revenue growth pencilled in for this year and next, even at these levels it's got a forward yield of 6.6% that almost double the FTSE average. The problem it had when it was over £50 is the yield was really low.

Maybe off tomorrow though:

San Francisco officials look to ban e-cigarettes

Altria (MO -1.9%) is lower after officials in San Francisco proposed legislation to ban the sale of e-cigarettes in the city.

The proposed bill also seeks to bar companies like Juul (JUUL) from occupying property owned by the city.

"We don’t want them in our city," Supervisor Shamann Walton says of e-cigarette sellers.

recovery here is way way ahead of IMB.

sure, it shouldn't have been anywhere near £24, but its certainly been running hot relative

[p0pper] 19/3/2019 11:29

CC but will it go on from there or drop as the gap would of been filled? and this is now starting to look toppy to me after a superb run up.

[creditcrunchies] 19/3/2019 08:07

gap fill at £33 will be relief when it comes

[the monkster] 18/3/2019 22:55

Same here. £41.60. Jeez wot was i thinking...

[dbensimon] 18/3/2019 15:15

Patience is a virtue! What a recovery so far. Still long way to go for me though.

[philanderer] 18/3/2019 12:45

Going very well today :-)

[badtime] 18/3/2019 12:20

Least you bought the 1k

[p0pper] 15/3/2019 15:05

CC know the feeling well, I bought 1k shares at 24.95 only to see them go down to £23 odd and didn't have the bottle to buy more at the time, oh silly me, lol

[creditcrunchies] 15/3/2019 14:18

These go ex dividend on the 21st so could get more momentum on this fat dividend

[creditcrunchies] 15/3/2019 14:15

Times like this I wish I'd bought another 1000 shares but as it is I get over £2000 in dividends per year

British American Tobacco: $40 Per Share Still Attractive

Summary
Shares have had a great 2019 thus far.

Dividend and valuation still look attractive here.

Firm's low cash flow multiple protects against downside risk.

[philanderer] 14/3/2019 17:51

Yep, it'll take a while :-)

Thanks Philanderer, reading between the lines of all these articles I think it will be years, if ever anything substantial happens as it's too good a thing for the governments around the world at the moment. Also it only states that the FDA want to ban menthol and stop the corner shops sells flavoured liquids etc etc, so I am sure that if you can't buy it at a corner shop you will go somewhere else and if you can't have menthol you will switch to something else so not really concerned at the moment.
