Mr down ticker, what a miserable sod you are wasting what £5 or what ever it cost to sit there down ticking all day. Get a life you loser before it's too late.

Nice, was always looking a bargain with interest rates coming down and RSAB stolen on the cheap

[kickingking] 12/6/2024 08:55

These could go the same way as RSAB, maybe time for a top up

Picked a first lot up today for a long term hold and collect the dividends. However if rates have peaked and start falling I may take the one would hop capital gain. Paid a tad under 99p for them

Well, you have to admire their dedication to stupidity if nothing else...

[kickingking] 03/10/2023 09:11

The brain dead down ticker has ticked everyone from post 2 in 2012. Only the OP has not. On another subject +7% dividend for years to come suits me

[cwa1] 02/10/2023 09:28

Impressive that there's a serial downticker on this most backwater of threads and for THE most anodyne of posts as well :-)

Got stab but not stac, I thought they were tomorrow though

[cwa1] 02/10/2023 07:28

Nothing in for STAC yet if that's any help. Though would expect both to be in later today unless you're with Barclays, iWeb, Halifax...

[nerja] 02/10/2023 06:32

Anybody else got the divi on stab?

[creme de menthe] 28/7/2023 09:31

Standard Chartered profits and announced buyback make non payment of pref dividends extremely unlikely.
On the plus side, STAB are still under a pound, I am very reluctant to buy pref shares for more than a pound, ever since Aviva announced it was cancelling its pref shares in 2018 and the whole market tumbled.
I note Tate and Lyle made a similar announcement in 2022, so it does happen!

[cwa1] 26/7/2023 12:43

Well, for one thing, the RSAB are cumulative and STAB are not

[kickingking] 26/7/2023 12:22

Can not understand why these are so far behind RSAB when they pay the same dividend and on the same days. Mustn't grumble, I own both

[rimau1] 19/7/2023 10:07

Mis-priced IMO, loaded up at 96p

[castleford tiger] 05/7/2023 14:21

the on variable in building houses is the land prices.

Labour and other costs will not come down.
They will just not build.

4spiel - what impending takeover? I hold STAN and STAB so your exclusive is news to me?

[4spiel] 12/6/2023 08:58

I am unsure if the possible pending bid for Standard Chartered will affect this and Stac

Hindsight, it’s sadly true that lots are going to suffer, I don’t know what the real solution is to this situation, but when I see that the yanks are on going to add two trillion a year deficit to their borrowings I just despair for the the young of today, at sometime it’s got to be paid back. China , India Russia are starting to ditch the dollar and buying gold or trading between there own currencies ,we as billy no mates now are going to fare worst of all , unless the guys in charge get there act together .
For myself if house prices drop 50% of course I am effected, but so what it’s just a paid for house to me, but it’s how it affects my children etc with their mortgages, the drop in equity problem that was a massive problem in the past. Which comes back to the prefs unless the issuer is going to go bust then over the next few years it’s for me a risk asset that’s worth taking on in this environment .

[nerja] 01/6/2023 16:42

Unless you think the banks going bust why bother at this price, it’s at parity price if they could call them , a spread of 5% with tax on top as well. For me I just think these interest rates hikes have not kicked in yet the real damage from them is to come. I understand the but interest rates were 15% in the late 70s / 80s , bought my first house in 1975 so went through it, but the percentage rise this time is massive to then, I don’t get how mortgages payers are coping with it now, at sometime the Sh?t must hit the fan and from memory when does it just falls of a cliff. Maybe this time is different open to all myself but if it happens then interest rates especially this time will come down fast maybe not to the stupid low levels they were at recently but to a level that will make all prefs like these a great shout. That does not mean they can’t go lower of course but for me two years from now I am very very hopeful of making a decent return on al prefs.

Time to switch?

[kev0856153] 01/6/2023 16:08

This not doing very well. Bid has collapsed to 96.5p. Not very good. Poor.
