looking at what has happened with other stocks that have suspended the dividend it could drop up to -50% at the point of the announcement, some larger one have dropped -30%. That's kind of initial reaction you'll get

It can be as red as it likes providing it continues to pay banging great dividends!!

The chart is setting itself up nicely and I am still only 20% in. May buy my next 20% today

re- the dividend, given messages about the current trading being on expectation it would seem odd, especially given the dividend is covered 1.3 according to forecasts. However, it wouldnt be the first time a new CEO gets bad news out of the way early in his/her tenure though.

What do we think about the dividend ? The market seems to be pricing in a cut from the double figure yield at present

People happy people smoke.

People sad people smoke.

People outside people smoke.

People locked inside people smoke.

SMOKING not impacted by virus.

Main takeaway :As stated in its March trading update, there has been no material impact on the Group's performance to date as a result of COVID-19.spud

IMO one would have to put this chart down as yet another that seems to indicate that
the market is set for another leg down.

Anyone else noticed this on other charts ?

And I think BATS is more South African focused than IMB

[lendmeafiver] 17/4/2020 00:53

Plus it’s outrageous to ban a product that may decrease your chance of getting the virus

[lendmeafiver] 17/4/2020 00:50

Bans just equal stockpiling beforehand

We should get some confirmation of the dividends soon, they typically declare the dividend after the first week of May

[lendmeafiver] 15/4/2020 22:55

I’d guess the real stuff, anyway it’s calmed my concern about taxes somewhat.

Now we need the figures broken down more. Vapers vs the real stuff.

[lendmeafiver] 15/4/2020 22:22

Maybe it’s just smoke killing the virus in the sinuses in the same way smoking bacon or fish kills bacteria, it actually seems that obesity is a higher risk factor.

[creditcrunchies] 15/4/2020 22:14

it's obviously not lab experiment conditions but the real life statistics on the majority of severe cases of COVID-19 infections are with non smokers, where in proportion to the number of people that smoke there is a much lower case of serious infection. Quite bizarre really.

[spud] 15/4/2020 22:12

Yes interesting! I no longer smoke but if it could be proven to protect, I could be persuaded!spud

Certainly my favourite story of the day:

Inverted H&S pattern is bullish. H&S pattern is bearish.

You've got the graph upside down.

[strutt12] 15/4/2020 19:33

I think it's more to do with the inverted head and shoulders...
