Agree Pensioner/GC.

The drop from 3.20 is, in my mind, no doubt an attempt to get as much stock as possible. Whether that's GKP, an acquirer, a hedge fund, Kurds or whatever is the question but it's a pattern many acquired companies experience prior to being gobbled up.

P.S. There's no logical reason for a debt free huge dividend payer to drop 30% other than manipulation.

There is huge demand - that's why its been drilled into the floor.
The takeover is obvious - Wanda moved the likelihood from 99.9% to 100%.
So the market pressured as buyers want more............cheap stock.

[johnbuysghost] 14/7/2022 11:05

My plan is just to reinvest the massive divi's until takeover.

It's all free shares at this point so it's just a question of how much more I can grab until GKP is bought out.

[attyg] 14/7/2022 11:03

50k at 2.15 - somewhat over the bid - suggests there is some demand for GKP

There was definitely a lot of buying going on yesterday

[nestoframpers] 14/7/2022 10:11

Easily done if you are in the know or are able to treat it like a game.

[pensioner2] 14/7/2022 09:37

No. You have to be in the magic circle to pull that trick. Close of play yesterday was the cut-off. However, if you look at trades from last night after the close there were quite a few around 237 and one was for 135k shares. Now that's compounding if they bought them back this morning at 215.

[howard smith] 14/7/2022 09:36

No but you will get the future divis, which going by last year, with a lower oil price were two 50 million dollar payouts

[r9505571] 14/7/2022 09:34

If you buy these today, do you get the div?

[howard smith] 14/7/2022 09:26

Or a great buying opportunity, I would be very surprised if it stays down here or below here for too long. Oil is only going one way over the long term and that is most definitely upwards, this company will continue giving out these massive dividends for years to come unless there is some sort of corporate action which I am not sure will happen but stranger things do, so buy and hold and compound a good portion of the divi is my strategy

[pensioner2] 14/7/2022 09:23

Someone's been filling their boots since £3.20. I reckon it's GKP through a proxy. We'll find out once that bond is repaid imo.

[r9505571] 14/7/2022 09:19

Brutal drop!

Am looking forward to when Rover wakes up..

The annual ordinary dividend of $25 million is expected to be paid on 15 July 2022, based on a record date of 1 July 2022, and is equivalent to 11.561 US cents and 9.574p per Common Share of the Company.

The special dividend of $50 million is expected to be paid on 29 July 2022, based on a record date of 15 July 2022, and is equivalent to 23.122 US cents and 19.540p per Common Share of the Company

[flashheart] 14/7/2022 09:09

According to HL the June divi payment date is tomorrow 15th and the one that went ex divi today is the 29th July.

[urchin1] 14/7/2022 09:09

Down for me also

[rmc100] 14/7/2022 09:05

When will the June divi be paid in to my aj bell you invest account?

[ptmorris1] 14/7/2022 08:55

And login on ii is down for me at this time. Well isn't that just bloody fantastic..

[pensioner2] 14/7/2022 08:50

It wouldn't surprise me if JH is planning another initiative. Repay the bond on the same day as another mega payment for sales? It ain't gonna languish down here beyond the month end imo and I believe the bond repayment will be the trigger for corporate action of some nature.

Clean up? After a combined divi of just under 30p and an share price drop of 90p?


I'm taking the long view, if GKP is still around, which I doubt.

[johnbuysghost] 14/7/2022 08:44

SP looking good for divi reinvestments.

Below £2 would be perfect.
