The DRIP is in. A big 92 shares for me this time. Loving the 4.5p per share divi

[melton john] 07/9/2016 11:44

I agree tenapen, more shares for our divi. Shh don't tell everyone.

[tenapen] 07/9/2016 10:01

The DRIP should be in tomorrow !

Jarvis shares are not in demand generaly ! but at least the Directors are still happy to be buying more.

Regards.

:EDITED: not sure the statement was correct.

People looking for a return on their money ! and few better home's for yield than the cash cow that is Jarvis ! IMHO.

Hi John, it wasn't the actual quote I had the issue with. Their server actually kept crashing before I could even reach the quote stage. Granted, I am sure the traffic was exceptional that morning. Like I said though, I know they are a budget execution-only dealer, and being a stingy git with no need for an advisory service, I am quite happy to remain a customer (and shareholder).

@steelwatch the particular issue I had was with the last LMS tender offer. No issue with the offer forms and administration, but they were very slow with the adjustment post-tender and I couldn't sell for a few days, losing a few quid in the meantime. I even emailed them to give feedback (well, more a complaint!), and didn't even receive a response. I also noted that many other brokers provided "overages" to shareholders, but unfortunately not x-o.

Hi John,
I am good with my holding but a smal top-up would have been nice. Lets hope the share price stays low (ish) so we get a full DRIP, and build up my holding that way.

I wonder when we will hear ...... !

"The Company announces today that it has executed a non-binding heads of agreement with a financial services company to launch a new automated wealth management service on behalf of a third party. Jarvis will provide administrative services including account opening, maintenance, trading, and trade settlement."

Pastybap - just wondering what you meant about being slow during corporate actions? Not had any problem personally with that department through a number of open offer/rights situations. If you mean slow sending out offer forms, they will accept "written" instructions via email using the email address you registered with. Also, they don't charge in those circumstances and neither do they charge for exercising warrants/options on the client's behalf which they are in the process of doing for me right now, also acting on email instructions.

Hi Tenapen, shame you couldn't find a few quid for one last (i hope) bargain top up. The yield is very good though at this level as you say. Almost want to keep it off the radar to use as a money box as interest rates fall.

A Top company ....and a low share price means 'more in the DRIP'

Pastybap, I think the delay in getting a quote for you was probably down to outside factors, they poll a few market makers to return the best quote and if the market makers are snowed under there's nothing can be done. It's the "everybody rushing for the exit" scenario. I know that Jarvis recently spent a lot of money upgrading their computer systems to give a resilient, responsive service after complaints of outages from users, since then I think the service has been very good. Andrew Grant is always willing to respond to constructive criticism and you'll never, from my experience, get fobbed off with some "they won't let us" rubbish. I've been a holder almost continually since they first came to AIM and I'm not one to ever put up with poor service but they are execution only and you can get better from say Charles Stanley if you are prepared to pay for an advisory service and if you have a six figure portfolio.

Hargreaves lansdown didn't cope with the brexit aftermath either. Lost lots because of it.

[pastybap] 21/7/2016 16:00

I use x-o and have had mixed results. They can be fairly slow during corporate actions, and the morning after Brexit, their website really struggled to cope with the traffic, and I probably lost a few quid because of this. It's a bargain site though, and you get what you pay for.

Cheers steel - I might open an ISA and put this years amount in.

[steelwatch] 21/7/2016 12:22

some - Sharedealactive account for general trading and x-o ISA. A perk from holding some JIM (min 1000 I think) in the sharedealactive account is dealing commission is only £5.95 per trade. x-o is also £5.95 and each year the ISA is gaining at the expense of the sharedealextra. I don't have a SIPP. Already a pensioner.

edit: I don't deal elsewhere.

[someuwin] 21/7/2016 12:14

Good point steel - do you use them? are they any good?

[steelwatch] 21/7/2016 12:07

Not forgetting:

[steelwatch] 21/7/2016 12:05

...and where better to hold a SIPP?

[someuwin] 21/7/2016 12:01

Looks like a great SIPP stock.

[pastybap] 21/7/2016 11:33

Another thing that impresses me about JIM is that it only took 3 weeks following half year end to publish its interim results. A sign of strong financial controls,and no need for creativity/smoothing bullsh*t.

Good family business. One day there will be a private company bid for this - maybe.But I hope not - nice quarterly dividends.

[melton john] 21/7/2016 10:42

Whatever the ups and downs that's grist to the mill for Jarvis. Cracking little cash machine. Another top-up, so rude not to.

[squintyflinty] 21/7/2016 10:36

This company should thrive in the Brexit environment.The results are excellent with a nice juicy dividend that can be maintained or even increased for the forseable future.
