imo it's more a case of thinking the Hedge Funds will drive the share price back down after collecting the dividend, my guess is we'll see <190p between June 9th & the next set of results.

However ensure you do your own research.

I was being tounge in cheek.

Your question requires you to understand more about trading stocks.

Sorry but that is not me..

Who knows,not an exact science this game beercap.

[beercapafn] 26/5/2016 15:37

Martyn9..

Because the price will fall...

Perhaps, or because the div is already assured.. ????

[martyn9] 26/5/2016 15:29

Beyond me why people sell, when in a few days they could pick up a large dividend!

210 to 220 prior to XD imo.

[billy5] 25/5/2016 16:44

Wow, 225p, I'll have some of that!

Wishful thinking or do you know something?

[shaf200] 25/5/2016 16:12

just for the record I haven't sold any (yet!). As long share price stays above 200p im not too worries... pull back inevitable due to the recent rise. But will have to sell in the next 4 weeks so might have to settle at 225p..

[gbh2] 25/5/2016 10:39

tbh I think it's more to do with the folk that are still sitting on 25p shares, I expected profit taking ca 210p and then a continued climb to ex date.

Drop today I assume to do with brexit & £1000 a week brickies, Most are on that now anyway.

[gbh2] 25/5/2016 10:05

Sold half my holding yesterday afternoon, bought them back at 204p not made a lot but what I have made will take care of the post XD drop.

[sogoesit] 24/5/2016 22:47

Good strategy; did the same in 2009.
There was some, blood that is, a few weeks ago but I didn't take the opportunity... and it seems to have been soaked up.
I think there will be more as markets have been falling for a while now; just waiting for the bath...

[shaf200] 24/5/2016 15:30

I have been holding TW for over 5 years now! I buy when there is blood in the market, factor in 1/4 companies to go bust but its a strategy that has been working well for me. The miners and oilers have been my recent focus....already looking good... and I think there is more chance of them doubling in the next year than TW...

[beercapafn] 24/5/2016 15:26

I ment what ever the female of pal is.

[beercapafn] 24/5/2016 15:25

Shaf200. Well done you pal /pals..

[speedsgh] 24/5/2016 14:50

Yes, the recent breakout is a nice problem for you to have to grapple with :-)

[shaf200] 24/5/2016 14:47

I need to release some money and want to sell some of TW shares. I'm holding from 25p! With the new break out thinking twice.. although sp's always falls on ex div date...

[speedsgh] 24/5/2016 13:23

Correct. So long as you are holding at close of trading on 1/6, you will receive the dividend. Even if you sell on XD day (2/6), you will still receive the dividend.

[shaf200] 24/5/2016 12:51

Thanks for that. Does that mean if I sell before 2/6 no divi for me?

[speedsgh] 24/5/2016 12:22

"As announced on 29 July 2015 we will return c.£300 million to shareholders in July 2016 by way of a cash return, equating to 9.20 pence per ordinary share subject to shareholder approval. This is proposed to be paid on 15 July 2016 as a cash dividend to all shareholders on the register at close of business on 3 June 2016."

XD 2/6
Payment 15/7

[shaf200] 24/5/2016 12:10

when is ex special div date. Thanks.

[speedsgh] 20/5/2016 12:44

Indeed. The share price has been consolidating for the past 12 months or so, trading in a broad range of 170-205p. Any confirmed breakout above the 205p ceiling would be v bullish imo.

[doyden] 20/5/2016 11:56

Looking good to reach a new high (post 2008 crash). This should continue to rise until the special div date.

[gerdmuller] 20/5/2016 09:06

This one is approaching that big barrier again so it will be interesting to see what happens if it finally breaks through. It's probably about time it did.
