Can anybody tell me when the final dividnd was paid?

[balcony] 29/7/2009 08:56

Looking strong today,More to this rise maybe?

[chrisdgb] 28/7/2009 16:56

no ramping intended..

[scotswhaehae] 28/7/2009 16:09

RNS update next week and very cheap recovery stock imo

Haven't heard your 'bid' stories...did hear supposed 'break up' a while ago (when at 34p or so)...no need to ramp just sit back and enjoy or buy more...funnily enough although smallish volume appears to move it from time to time MMC is basically an instituional stock so advfn ramping is immaterial

[chrisdgb] 28/7/2009 15:51

Making some progress here....wonder if the bid stories are coming round again..??

[chrisdgb] 24/7/2009 11:44

With broad sentiment improving these things can just keep on moving back to 30p..

[empirestate] 24/7/2009 06:10

will be buying a few today, decent t/o last few sessions and the trades are on the buy side

[scotswhaehae] 23/7/2009 12:51

As the seller clears we could move swiftly up to a new level

PER ludicrously low imo

[chrisdgb] 23/7/2009 12:20

same again today over 6m traded...

[chrisdgb] 21/7/2009 13:55

Some more big trades going through at 20p level..

[chrisdgb] 21/7/2009 08:39

Indeed, the FT have been convinced for some time that something will happen...

[scotswhaehae] 21/7/2009 08:36

Tricky to read but it could well prove a turning point..

Sentiment is poor which is a good time to buy and although recent trading news was disappointnig it was already in the price in my view before the furher 40% share price fall!

PER fundamentals etc now look absurdly cheap.

Lots of gossip in recent months about breakup/deals etc

When MMC moves it can move very fast

Increasingly interesting at the very least?

[chrisdgb] 21/7/2009 08:11

More volume today....

[chrisdgb] 20/7/2009 16:27

Interesting move upwards today....

[chrisdgb] 20/7/2009 10:00

Bid approaches seem to take around 4 weeks afetr news/results, so we asre approaching an interesting time, I am convinced something is going to happen...

[chrisdgb] 14/7/2009 09:01

This was the comment in the FT:

Management Consulting Group hit a 10-year low, down 5 per cent to 19p. A profit warning this week has led some shareholders to argue for a break-up.

[chrisdgb] 09/7/2009 14:11

well, I am not the biggest holder in the world but I think it is time to write to the company to try to get something done, drifting ever downwards..

anybody else thoughts ??

[chrisdgb] 06/7/2009 14:52

big trade just gone through in the middle.

[investoree] 06/7/2009 11:42

Davidosh Apologies you are correct I have checked with the mmc website and the figure I quoted was for their 2008 dividend (doing research late at night is not a good idea as it resulted in me misreading an 8 for a 9). Had I realised that the 2009 dividend had just been paid I would probably have held fire on my purchase to see if the share price had actually fully bottomed. Still I am happy with my purchase as it was made as a long term investment not a quick trade.

[davidosh] 06/7/2009 10:26

with a 6% dividend in the meantime ex div on 17.9.2009 with 0.4p payable on 21.10.2009. Good luck to all holders.

Investoree ...Where do you get that divi info from?


We have just received a divi payment as per...

The directors recommend the payment of a final dividend in respect of 2008 of 0.90 pence per share to be paid on 2 July 2009 to ordinary shareholders on the register on 5 June 2009.

[investoree] 06/7/2009 10:03

This seems a solid well run business having prospered during previous recessions with nearly 1.4 Million shares recently bought by the directors in March 2009 @ 29.88p. Have previously held from many years back when they were Proudfoot and sold when they had more than doubled. Bought a small tranche of 5K this morning through plus @ 19.92p hoping to at least double again over the next few years with a 6% dividend in the meantime ex div on 17.9.2009 with 0.4p payable on 21.10.2009. Good luck to all holders.

[chrisdgb] 06/7/2009 09:13

I agree, the stock sell off looks well overdone for a revenue miss on the smallest part of the business.

The FT ran a small piece saying investors wanted a break up....

There have previously been bid rumours and shareholders I think will push this very hard...

[empirestate] 05/7/2009 16:39

certainly looks a tad oversold to me and if we see a bid for robert waters in the next few weeks it should see renewed interest in the sector

[davidosh] 03/7/2009 10:12

The share price has halved in two weeks.

Firstly it seems the update must have leaked or been pre-empted with selling ahead and secondly the overall reaction now looks to be an oversold share price

Any thoughts ?
