You may well be right optomistic, but my main aim is to have some cash ready should there be some opportunities when the election result is known.

gbh2...maybe tomorrow...

I sold half my holding this afternoon; I suspect I'll be able to buy it back cheaper over the summer.

18844 Terminated.
I agree.

We closed at 200p and with the ex date 1/6 and the loss of Monday for trading, we are only left with Tues/Weds. Are we going to see a surge to the 205p level and then a reduction on Thursday to 195.
That figure of 195 would do me fine as I have 75k overall with 25k well over at 206 from last year and the rest c.193/4p. A bit of juggling required, going to be an interesting period.

Why do I need to explain anything, whether you understand what's going on or you have a different perception to that of mine as regards what's going on, makes little to no difference to either yours or my investment practise.

I don't post to try and persuade others of anything, I have no agenda, it's simply a way of passing a few moments with like minded people.

As I've mentioned many times during the last nineteen years, this is a hobby and not a way of making a living, however the fact that my portfolio is now 50 times greater than the day I started this game, I feel I must be doing something right :)

Meanwhile take a look at the FCA spreadsheet for an idea of Who is "controlling" Share prices:

It's an old link but the spreadsheet is up to date.

Gbh2 ... glad you making money from your expectations. That's good.My comment was more general in nature than specific to you since all I ever read in these threads is paranoid stuff about share prices being "controlled" or "the big boys in control" or "market makers" driving share prices down to buy cheaper.Invariably it's unsubstantiated and written by folks with limited experience of how financial markets work.I am not suggesting that you yourself have limited experience of markets but perhaps you might explain who is "controlling" the TW share price and why it's being "controlled"

[gbh2] 26/5/2017 13:04

There you go stamping your interpretation on another posters comments - The share price is behaving exactly as I expected and as I've anticipated during the last two years and until I stop making money out of my expectations I'll stick with them thank you !

[raffles the gentleman thug] 26/5/2017 12:47

Why is it when a share price doesn't behave like a poster wants they always call it "controlled" ??

[gbh2] 26/5/2017 11:49

My current ave moved up to 190p yesterday but I'll hang on for as long as the special dividends keep coming in, as for after the election, imo the share price is so well controlled it'll simply be sold down until September.

[raffles the gentleman thug] 26/5/2017 11:27

Only problem is Terminated there is the little problem of the General Election ...

[terminated] 26/5/2017 11:07

I think a buy at £2 for the divi alone should be a decent investment. I can't see this under 190p after div payment, maybe 194 (a nigh on 3% instant return) but recovering to £2 over a 2 month period should not be too difficult.

[m4rtinu] 26/5/2017 08:50

Council houses? ;)

[gbh2] 25/5/2017 16:31

In for a penny, in again for another 20K just over 199p; someone somewhere will start talking about more houses eventually :))

[gbh2] 24/5/2017 14:22

They'll not expect it to fall, imo they'll trade it back down, time will tell??

[terminated] 24/5/2017 14:06

No institutions will hold out for a 9.2p divi if they expected it to fall 20p shortly after. More likely it will rise to about 202p dropping back to the low 190's. If it gets 210p might be worth selling them rather than take divi.

[gbh2] 24/5/2017 08:23

I hope you're right, but as this last 2 years have indicated, imo there's no real reason for the Institutional Traders to hold TW other that for the special dividend.

[tlobs2] 24/5/2017 08:11

Not sure why it should drop 24p after going ex div.


I hope and think it'll rise to 210p and settle back to 200p :-)

[gbh2] 23/5/2017 08:33

I'd like to see 210p on the day, after which I expect it to drop back to around 186p during the following week or two, but do your own research.

[mip55] 23/5/2017 08:27

Omg.... special of 9.2p goes ex dividend on 1st June. Expect some drop on that day, MAY be 9p may be more or less. Who knows? Div is payable 14th July ....share price may increase on that day and subsequent ones as a result of holders reinvesting their div cash into more shares.

[uknighted] 23/5/2017 08:18

Omg48 and next weeks winning lottery numbers are..........!

[gbh2] 23/5/2017 08:09

Much depends upon what it is at Ex dividend date imo.

[omg48] 22/5/2017 22:20

After special divi, what will share price drop to?
