Doubled my holding. Should have done so last time I posted!

Stochastics say oversold. Anyone adding for the 5.52% dividend yield?

Hey Big Spender! The Company has today been informed by Mike Dugdale, Chief Financial Officer that, following payment of the fourth dividend for the year ended 31 December 2017, he has purchased, on the 15 December 2017, 447 ordinary shares of 5 pence each at £4.62 per share under the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan. In addition, the dividend received into his ISA holding was used to purchase a further 158 ordinary shares of 5 pence each on 18 December 2017 at £4.77 per share. Mike Dugdale's wife also holds an ISA holding which received dividends which were used to purchase a further 145 ordinary shares of 5 pence each at £4.77 per share on the same date. Further to the commitment made by Mike Dugdale in January 2015 in respect of his directly held shares and June 2015 in respect of his ISA holding, Mike remains committed to take part in the dividend reinvestment plan in respect of his entire direct and indirect ordinary shares, as set out above. Following these transactions, Mike Dugdale has an interest in 67,340 ordinary shares of 5p each, including his wife's holding of 13,490 shares, representing in aggregate 0.219% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company.

Oops. Not great news, but a very mild profit warning (or even a revenue warning) and I guess it all helps 2017 revenues. Top-up time if it falls back too far!? Not really sure why they really needed this as it looks like profit is in line but revenue below. Looks a tad overcautious of them. The announcement sounds worse than it really is.

Stop loss hit, half sold. Will keep rest for divi / recovery. Anyone know what's caused today's drop?

[topvest] 01/8/2017 17:13

Easy solution - don't buy sucker get rich quick stocks or story stocks. I've not bought one for 3/4 years now. Takes a bit of discipline!

Like a fool I sold half my shares, very glad to have a glass half full of other peoples' pensions feeding mine. Long-termer I hope. Wondering what the specific good news was today though, or if it was just general stock market sunshine.

Yes, great news today. Decided to double-up about 2 weeks ago. Bought before this before the golden cross point which was a bit risky, but thought the share price strength was indicating good news from this quality company. Glad to have called it right. May look at adding some more now that the profit warning risk has diminished.

Oh ffs! Having made 8% here, I just let my frog get boiled down to 3.9%. So that's half a year's dividend gone there! Do I stay or do I go?

[runthejoules] 29/3/2017 07:33

Sold my Cerillion & Alumasc to get in here - better yield, I'd let them drop. Clausentum, here's your first article: Shares magazine. Let's just hope the Daily Mail doesn't pick up on it. Kiss of death! GLA! hxxps://www.sharesmagazine.co.uk/news/shares/personal-group-beats-market-expectations PS shouldn't someone change the name of this board?

Tempted to do a top-up here given today's announcement. It was already in the price, but we are down again. Lets Connect isn't the core business and could easily be ditched. Profit growth next year, but lower. Hardly a catastrophe.

THIs salary sacrifice company will be severely impacted by the autumn statement. A good deal of its revenue is derived from non-core salary sacrifices which are going by April

Yes, a really significant contract win this one!
