When does GOG go ex-divi, trt? Should we be expecting any retracement on ex-divi day?

[trt] 11/3/2010 11:36

Share price powering ahead now. Investors are perhaps at last realising how undervalved GOG is.
Investors suddenly realising if they wait any longer to buy in they will continue to miss out on the big rises in the share price.

£15 not that far off now !!

That little blip was handy grabbed some more

Unless you have a very short time scale, I can't see why anyone would want a takeover almost regardless of the price. What else offers you this prospect of capital growth and dividends ?

[trt] 08/3/2010 10:37

Ok I'll accept £20+

[bunnji] 07/3/2010 22:38

trt
I want at least £17 for each of my shares ????????????

You ferkin mad ??? Am i alone in anticipating, come 2012/2013 £20+ with ex divis along the way. Alas you and i seem to be preaching to a spellbound audience of eerrrmmmm 5. Been here since £4.80 and never been more optimistic. gla bunnji

Press are reporting: Arriva is said to be on the radar of Comfort Delgro, the Singaporean owner of Metroline buses in London. Deutsche Bahn may also be taking a look.

Could these companies also be looking at Go Ahead !!!

Grabbed a few more

Good news phil - Your investment club will be even more chuffed when we go above £15 and then look forward to £16. The extra bonus along the way is the fantastic yield !!!

If more investors want to top up or get on board for the first time and want the massive dividend they better be quick the register date is the 19th March

[phil140158] 05/3/2010 15:04

Well chuffed, trt. I think I posted earlier that I had bought some of these for our school investment club for the interim divi (Tarbert Academy, Shares4Schools competition) Not only did I get a double divi, I've got some capital growth as well. Quality!!!!!!!!!!!

[enami] 05/3/2010 15:04

Certainly flying today, suspect yesterday's high volume due to insiders getting the news ahead of the rest of the market.

Target 1479 for me looks possible.

[trt] 05/3/2010 14:58

Could be - National Express is about £1bn GOG could just do that. Market obviously likes the upgrade on the rating for sure. Could well see share price above £15 very soon indeed.

[phil140158] 05/3/2010 12:12

re This morniong's RNS. GOG has approved borrowing upto £750m and have just had their credit ratings boosted to give them access to capital at better rates. Maybe GOG will be the predator and not the prey!

[trt] 05/3/2010 09:44

Two schools of thought here one is institutions are buying in to get the increased dividend or bid rumours are circling - the French come to mind after wanting Keolis

[enami] 04/3/2010 15:35

Massive volume here today, possibly the highest ever at 1.9 million.
Added for the dividend.

[trt] 02/3/2010 16:03

Well yes the money could be used for aquisitions major ones with £750m. I think there is more to this annoucement than just good housekeeping especially as they state in the results funding is already in place until 2012.

[phil140158] 01/3/2010 12:04

trt, do you think the egm to approve the new borrowing limit is of any significance? The ability to raise up to £750m should open up some takeover opportunities, or is it just a 'piece of housekeeping'?

[trt] 28/2/2010 13:47

Good results as usual and bringing forward half the final dividend to the half year makes financial sense for tax reasons especially.

I will top up next week to boost my half year dividend payout.

[phil140158] 25/2/2010 09:23

Pleasant surprise, Enami. I bought 20 shares for our school investment club last week (we're in the national shares4schools competition) hoping to add £5 as a dividend in April, it's now gone up to £10! Wouldn't mind a bit of capital gain as well!

[enami] 25/2/2010 08:19

Seems a muted reaction to the Interim Results.

Nice surprise on the dividend

"One-off change in proportion of full year dividend paid at interim"
(XD 17/03 51.00p PAY 01/04)
So expect a lower final figure.

[bluebelle] 18/2/2010 16:54

Thanks phil

[enami] 18/2/2010 16:38

Aye looks good, finished over the 100MA.
I have my full quota here so didn't buy any more.

[phil140158] 18/2/2010 16:33

Bluebelle, if you google 'Profit from the Core' it gives you the names of the authors. You can buy the book from Amazon.

Enami - nice dip around 2pm that I was keen to get into, but no funds. I've ended up all in with the FI oil explorers, so I've got no margin left!
