The good thing NY BOY is that if you get things wrong you are politely rectified. A helpful backup/reminder system :-)

IN, £53K @ 1554p ….. ;0)

[tradermichael] 02/8/2018 08:11

Erm …. xdiv is next Thursday … 9 Aug?

[ny boy] 02/8/2018 08:07

Ex div today 19p, anything less at the close is a bonus, I doubt it will be long before the share price is heading back to test 1600p

whatsup32 - "can they go a symbolic amount say1/8th of a percentage"

With everything being done on the ol' computer a 1/8th% would be easy, but AFAIK it has never been done.

Can anyone reading this say if a central bank has ever increased (or decreased) the rate by 1/8th.???

Mark Carnage isn't interested in the future he won't be here but he would like to stuff us on Brexit before he goes, just to say he was right. He's talked us down at every stage so crippling us with another rate rise would seem par for the course before he goes.

[whatsup32] 31/7/2018 16:25

If they feel they are that cornered , can they go a symbolic amount say1/8th of a percentage and add to the statement next increase won’t be for a while

[tradermichael] 31/7/2018 16:21

In several steps

[tradermichael] 31/7/2018 16:20

They are targeting 2%

[alphorn] 31/7/2018 16:06

The expectations for a rate increase are very high and well signaled. They are in a corner. Likely to happen.

[whatsup32] 31/7/2018 15:55

Good point romeike. I agree , business is down across the board , high streets are suffering , housing is slowing , the last thing the economy needs right now is interest rate hike.

[romeike] 31/7/2018 15:47

The BOE has talked itself into a corner on this but I think they will not increase rates because ultimately they will only do so if they absolutely have to such is their utter dependency on an easy money environment and the harmful effects of QE.

Better, from their perspective to lose a little bit more credibility now, than be blamed for causing a recession later.

Divi hunters, be nice if we break above 1600p!

[whatsup32] 31/7/2018 15:20

We seem to be having a nice run post results

[tradermichael] 30/7/2018 16:10

Dealt! Got 1562.09

Happy with that !

Returns will eventually go back into GSK (!)

[sicker] 30/7/2018 16:07

Well done TM, where are you putting your returns ?

[sicker] 30/7/2018 15:53

TM you know what happened to my 1560 limit sell on the 25th?, only failed my 1p. Hope you have better luck if that's what you really, really want :-)

[tradermichael] 30/7/2018 15:37

Thanks. I'll be happy to get the 19p from this (rather than the dividend). If they sell, there may be a chance after Thursday to get them back cheaper ahead of the 9th (xd day). (I still hold a much larger quantity!)

[sicker] 30/7/2018 15:32

All the best of luck TM. Personally I am holding and also building monthly for the dividends ;-)
