montyhedge - 1290: I still say chance of dividend increase. Barry has not returned to mess about

Just more misleading nonsense from our resident attention seeker.

1. There is absolutely no rational basis to believe that the dividend will increased either this year or next since 100% of the profit is currently being distributed to fund it. The eps would probably have to exceed 32p before any further increase was seriously considered. Neither has the company given the remotest indication that they have any intention of considering any dividend increase either. Nevertheless this idiot keeps on repeating this wild claim - I expect he also believes that the moon is made of green cheese too !

2. Barry never went away to make any return. He stood down as CEO to focus on succession planning but still retained the full time role of CIO (Chief Investment Officer). He only resumed the CEO mantle following the departure of Doug Allison and he will relinquish this role once again at some point in the future in order to implement this policy.

This share doesn't need to be ramped with inaccurate claims by some dilettante idiot who appears to be afflicted with Munchausen syndrome. The investment case is clear to any intelligent investor who takes time to research it.

No sellers, where would you put your profit to get this kind of income, I still say chance of dividend increase.
Barry has not returned to mess about, directors and staff have shares and therefore want the biggest divi possible, 375p certainty in my view.

The present chart action looks significant on a medium time frame, given the recent breakout leaving behind that nasty £3.05 long term support/resistance line:

I see emerging markets are have been going up in a straight line since the end of Febrauary. iShares Emerging markets ETF is up about 15% and their BRICs ETF is up over 20% since then.

Hong Kong looking relatively cheap even though its up 5% in last 2 weeks. More to come. China has now embarked on a big advance also.

Chairman20 - 1267: Mas, hear hear. too many damm fools whose worthless opinions are not even amusing.

Unfortunately Chairman, even the quietest threads with sane and sensible contributors often get hijacked by a couple of morons who having nothing intelligent or informed to contribute.

A very interesting viewpoint which could be applied to CLIG.

Long-term returns boosted by illiquidity

The less liquid a stock, the better it will perform over time

Followers of the dialogue between financial academics and investors will know there is agreement on three factors that cause stocks to outperform the market in the long term. They are size (small stocks beat large one in the long run); value (cheaper stocks beat expensive ones) and momentum (winners tend to keep winning while laggards tend to keep lagging behind). Now it appears there is a fourth, liquidity. The less liquid a stock is, the better it will perform in the long run, compared with more liquid stocks.

The financial academic community has given this notion its imprimatur. This week, the Graham & Dodd prize for the best 2013 article in the Financial Analysts Journal went to Yale's Roger Ibbotson, one of the best-known finance researchers, for what may become a seminal article laying out why liquidity should join size, value and momentum. Readers of a practical bent should not switch off - for decades, breakthroughs in academic finance have driven financial innovation in the real world, both for good and bad. Huge sums of money are managed based on the three factors already acknowledged. For good or ill, Mr Ibbotson's article is likely to spur a boom in investing in illiquid stocks. So it is vital to understand his insight, and how it might be put into practice.
