GBH2 I have been in these since the old Bryant days when I worked for them and the last cash divi I took was about 7-8 years ago just before TW almost sunk without a trace . My question was only in regard to the amount of shares I will receive on payment day . If they are set aside at todays price then I will receive around an extra 250 shares than if they should go back up to £2 or thereabouts .Gambos

Kulvinder: I hope you are right, but just a simple question - why. !!

[kulvinder] 01/6/2018 14:23

These will soon be back up £2.00....with divi in tact.

Gbh2... life is a learning curve, we are all at different points on the curve.

[gbh2] 01/6/2018 08:42

Agreed Jugears, fwiw I don't often take them but to me it's like investing cash with no knowledge of what interest it will attract.

[jugears] 01/6/2018 08:36

Gbh2, not everyone invests for dividends

[gbh2] 01/6/2018 08:21

Amazing that folk invest without a full understanding of the Ex Divi and Register dates!

[gambos49] 31/5/2018 22:58

1carus Thanks

[1carus] 31/5/2018 22:40

Gambos -- you can only take the money or re-invest on the payment day.

[kulvinder] 31/5/2018 22:01

Battue2, I think you are referring to the final divi date, this was x-divi for the special dividend payment...this was addition to the previous divi you refer. Have a good night.

[gambos49] 31/5/2018 21:31

With todays special if you have reinvested dividend at what price will new shares be calculated at. Will they be calculated at todays price of around £1.90 or when actually paid on July 13th .Thanks

[battue2] 31/5/2018 21:18

kulvinder.It clearly states on TW website to have recieved the final divi you have to be on the register at close of play 6th april.Not that it concerns me any.

[dr_smith] 31/5/2018 21:17

Thank-you Battue2, so real trade, not the data blip I expected. Charts must be dampened by an averaging process every x minutes as they don't reflect it.

[kulvinder] 31/5/2018 20:46

Why so many people so called investors do not understand that you have to be holding until the market opening bell at 8am on the day a stock goes x-divi....to be eligiable to recieve the divi on the payment day specified by the company(i.e must not have sold prior market closing time at 4.30pm the day prior x-divi date)? For CFD's you get credited on the x-divi date if you are long or if you are short then you have to pay the amount of the divi specified out of your own funds.

[gbh2] 31/5/2018 20:31

That's why it's called the Ex Dividend date!

[1pvh] 31/5/2018 20:24

XD date today. If you held the shares before the market opened today you get the divi.Buy them today or after that and you don't

[battue2] 31/5/2018 19:54

No sir, you have to hold until the record date which is normally 2 full business days after ex div . Which makes it 4.30 close of market Friday. Unless of course the special is different in which case I stand corrected.GL

[ps0u3165] 31/5/2018 19:35

I thought if you held at 0800 today you get the divi, therefore you can sell anytime after that.

[battue2] 31/5/2018 18:33

DR_SMITH
Trade no 26 at 8.05 sell 111175 shares at 186.56
several sells prevoius to that at 187.
I still find it strange that anyone would sell shares today before they qualify for the divi. 5.5 million sells today not including the uncrossing trade.GL

[dr_smith] 31/5/2018 17:35

Thank-you battue2,
I see a data figure of 186.55 on advfn as low, but nothing to support it, the day chart below does not reflect this, so unless there is evidence of deals or volume done at this level, my thinking it is a data blip. I don't have level 2 access which may provide answer. No great shakes, just curious if there was a more reliable/accurate data source than I have.

[battue2] 31/5/2018 17:20

DR_SMITH
According to ADVFN it spiked down to 186.55.

[raffles the gentleman thug] 31/5/2018 17:05

The only observation I’d make is that this time last year when the company went ex dividend the shares were offering a yield of 8.2% (15.3p dividend and a £1.85 share price) and now a year later they are offering a yield of 9.6% (18.3p off a £1.90 share price).

So it might pay to stop and give consideration to that incremental 140bp of yield here which is considerable and should provide good support in the coming days.

Obviously the shares performed poorly last year against a back drop of difficult summer markets but that doesn’t mean the same will happen this time around.

[m4rtinu] 31/5/2018 16:51

So a fall in SP, almost equivalent to spec divi.

But now I am wondering if the fall is done with? Will 190 ish remain a support level, like it has been a couple of times over the last two months? (NB: this doen't reflect any technical analysis, just a general impression from chart above!)

Will be interesting to see where this goes next. I'm hoping back up, but I'm quite uncertain.

[1carus] 31/5/2018 16:19

gbh2... wise words. I consider my judgements lucky more than anything else. I was lucky to put a substantial amount of money in one share and I got 4x back over time-- it was a long time and a lot of money tied up. Then a lot of that went into TW which I am close to 3x. So 12x made over a long period. With hindsight and age I would never make the same investment again particularly that I was pretty much all in with everything at the start --- much more diversified now and more interested in protecting the value of what I have rather than making great gains with risk.
