Sit tight and keep the faith chaps it'll all come good in the end!

I am finding the same - good company performance dire share price performance across most of my holdings.

I think that says everything about the state of the market and very little about the state of RQIH, jonwig.

I emailed the company about the recent steep fall in the share price. I was reassured that it was nothing company-specific and down purely to the markets. Under normal circumstance it would have amounted to a major buying opportunity, but times aren't normal and almost everything I own is currently in that category.

A pretty grudging response (so far, anyway) to two very encouraging announcements this morning.

[lord gnome] 07/6/2012 11:57

Continued drift down in the share price on low volume. Bored or nervous PIs selling out or do we have a persistent seller against a background of no buyers. I can't see that this fall presages anything sinister.

[lord gnome] 15/5/2012 15:03

Phew - that's a relief jonwig. Shares always go 'ex-div' on a Wednesday, so I was expecting another big fall tomorrow.

Thanks Jonwig - reassuring in these troubled times.

In case there's concern about the fall today, RQIH are now trading "xd" - and the relevant RNS even says "dividend"!

We'll get 4.9p, but somebody seems to have been uncertain, since the share price didn't know how much it should drop!

[alter ego] 24/4/2012 14:50

Had to smile at this rather appropriate typo in the apologetic "correction" RNS issued today, see fourth word from end of para.

"The Company therefore proposes to enter into deeds of release which are intended permanently, irrevocably and unconditionally, to extinguish all claims, whether known, unknown, past, present, prospective or contingent, arsing in relation to"

Thanks for the link jonwig. A very informative read.

[jonwig] 24/4/2012 08:43

Equity Development are pretty good on insurance sector stocks.
But I'm a bit surprised they highlighted the litigation issue. I never noticed it myself!

[speedsgh] 24/4/2012 08:33

Jonwig - Thanks for posting the link. The highlight of that Equity Development piece was this...

"The economic background suggests that real investment returns will remain
negative until the federation of private sector pensioners block all the entrances
to Congress, the Federal Reserve, Parliament and the Bank of England with their
Zimmer frames."

Not often you see a sense of humour in such write ups.

Coverage of results, new:

[fenners66] 23/4/2012 22:09

So does going ex div

[funchalman] 20/4/2012 17:36

whatever way you want to read the final results rns , it is clear we are getting 4.9p in the hand , in fact an increase over last years payout.
one would expect reports in newspapers etc to be a bit more accurate than the misleading statements made in the two reports i pointed out.but then again maybe not.

[oniabsta] 20/4/2012 15:25

Tried to show how the media have picked out the fact that there is no final divi.
by linking to the statement in the finals, thats all.

[speedsgh] 20/4/2012 14:54

Whilst pedants will no doubt continue to point out that RQIH shareholders will not be receiving a dividend, we will however be receiving a distribution in the form of a return of cash to the tune of 4.9p share. Dividend... return of cash... makes no difference to me. Whichever way it's still money being distributed to shareholders by the company and they even give you the option of receiving it as income or a capital repayment.

[oniabsta] 20/4/2012 14:50

I haven't read the articles mentioned in post 180 above but I'm simply saying technically they are right.

of course I know we will receive a divi

[lord gnome] 20/4/2012 14:44

oniabsta - the G and H scheme is the final dividend, but by another name and by their usual convoluted route.

[oniabsta] 20/4/2012 14:43

from the final results:-

"Details of the proposed G and H scheme will be announced shortly. In light of this, the Board will not be recommending a final dividend for the year."

[jonwig] 20/4/2012 14:40

Well, they do say - near the top of the results announcement:

"Return of cash of 4.9p, through a G and H share scheme [details of which are to be announced shortly]"

which, technically, might not be a 'dividend', but it sure will look like one to me!

Adam's post [#178] might be relevant, and I'll look when I have time - but even then I probably won't be much wiser.

[lord gnome] 20/4/2012 14:39

Yes they are - but by their usual convoluted mechanism.

[oniabsta] 20/4/2012 14:30

They are not paying a final div. Read the final results

[funchalman] 20/4/2012 14:14

i have come across two items , one in the daily mail today , and another on sharecast news yesterday , both saying that no final dividend is being paid by rqih.just hope people have not sold any shares in rqih on the strength of these
two erroneous reports.
