It just goes to show the massive potential DLG has. A future destined for ftse 100 investors. An share price holding well above todays xdiv expectation.The phoenix rises from its shackled slumber...The ftse 100 constituents to be decided on Wednesday, 3rd September. It seems DLG don't need to hold onto the dividend to achieve UKX status.Let the Phoenix fly!

cheers I should have known that

It's xd day for the interim of 4.4p and the special dividend of 10p.

Pay day for the whole 14.4p is 12th September.

[eeza] 12/8/2014 18:58

XD for 14.4p tomorrow.

[bigmike100] 12/8/2014 18:11

eaaxs have I missed something big why do you think it will open around 280?

[eaaxs06] 12/8/2014 13:09

Let's hope so, Bigmike, it would certainly encourage a few income-seeking fund managers to buy in.

However, it might look a bit different tomorrow, when it opens around the 280p level?

[bigmike100] 10/8/2014 21:02

By my calculations we are still above the auto entry position for the next ftse 100 reshuffle.

[mrhbeats] 07/8/2014 19:02

I would imagine profit takers after a few days of increases. Hold on - with ftse100 listing imminent it's worth keeping for now

[clarkrob] 06/8/2014 11:01

Dropping quite sharply this morning (nearly 2%).

Just geo-political tensions or news?

[nicksoj] 01/8/2014 09:07

So far, thr DLG share price performance correlates well with Admiral group and its rise through the noughties.More efficiencies and innovations on the way for DLG...DLG surely UKX in September. Happy days!

[eaaxs06] 01/8/2014 08:49

I'm not sure why Direct Line keep insisting on distributing special dividends, especially when the shares already pays a cracking dividend anyway?

Maybe its their attempt to prevent them getting into the FTSE100.

It's certainly been a fantastic income stock, since the IPO, under 3 years ago.

[nicksoj] 01/8/2014 08:43

Continues to be the best divided yield within the peer group. Fantastic result.

[clarkrob] 01/8/2014 08:41

14.4p for an interim dividend! Wow.

I think figures are largely as expected, there was always going to be a fall thanks to the severe weather at the start of the year.

Up nearly 4% so far this morning.

[shauney2] 01/8/2014 08:10

From a quick glance.
Earning down but another special dividend ( a big one too)with the interim.
Total 14.4p.Ex in a couple of weeks.

[bigmike100] 14/7/2014 13:39

Nice lift today onwards and upwards

[bigmike100] 08/7/2014 15:18

Looks very interesting to me. seems very likely to go into ftse 100 in September.

[shauney2] 04/7/2014 15:50

Sorry to wake you.This has been breaking out while you have been sleeping.

Citigroup Buy old target 244.00 new 306.00 Upgrades.

This seems to be raising quite nicely at the moment. Up from 241 just a few days ago.The market review is just a few days away, and some have tipped DLG for 100 entry, perhaps this is the reason?

[eaaxs06] 15/5/2014 12:10

Yes it is quiet, hippo, but I didn't really set it up as an in depth discussion forum, more as a board with a few graphs that I was interested in.

That said, well done for collecting a short term gain on Direct Line, a few like that certainly helps the coffers. I set a limit sell on Tuesday, but unfortunately expired when I was a couple of pence out.

Great trade for you, good luck for the future.

[hippo] 14/5/2014 16:08

A quiet board about to get quieter, just took profits, just under 10% in a month. The 25k sale was mine.

[hippo] 09/4/2014 09:31

This is starting to look tempting. Some retrace, any reason ? Nice divi.

[eaaxs06] 27/3/2014 08:51

Looks to be heading down again (241.3 at present) and certainly not going the way we predicted, Dan.

But that has to put it on a juicy yield of around 5.5% for the current year

[eaaxs06] 13/3/2014 13:51

I agree with you, Dan, but still find it strange why ADVFN quote the yield at only 3.1%.

The interim and final, this year, total 12.6p, which has got to be around 5%.

.... and that's without the 2 special 4p divi's, making 20.6p for the year!
