largeronald,
By necessity to TD, as they will handle Manx-based accounts which did not seem too be the case with HL.

[pshevlin] 19/10/2017 11:32

lageronald. TD show no signs of adopting ii's pricing stucture.Just be careful it's not a frying pan and fire scenario.

Barclays are shocking imo. I moved from Barclays to HL - taken about 4 months and am nearly there now! HL are fantastic, might pay slightly more for trading than others but their customer service is great and their trading platform really good for investing globally etc. Only problem i find is liquidity in smaller stocks when prices are moving around too much can be tricky but then I think thats the case everywhere as Barclays are the same - to be honest it is helpful as most of the time through volatility best to do nothing anyway.

largeronald, ok thanks.

[largeronald] 19/10/2017 10:40

George - they've been taken over by II and, as far as I can make out, adopting their pricing structure - and probably their lousy admin as well.

I live in Malta and have a Maltese broker,I do not think the broker paid from his own money.I have receive £908 for 30000 shares

[farmergeorge] 19/10/2017 10:29

largeronald, why are you switching from TD?

[largeronald] 19/10/2017 10:21

Fred - who are you going to? I'm about to switch from TD Direct and trying to make a final decision between iWeb & HL.

[fredd] 19/10/2017 10:17

Not showing on Barclays SB. Mind you still not as long as the last time.
For other reasons I am in the process of switching from Barclays.

Some brokers pay on the div payment date as a matter of principle, based on the certainty of receiving the div themselves in the (usually) near future.

[calahan] 19/10/2017 08:58

Me neither owenski. But if gmifsud has received the dividend then either the broker paid it (out of kindness/insanity), or the new payment date has already passed and XLM just hasn't announced it yet. (although tbh both seem quite unlikely to me, so ???).

[owenski] 19/10/2017 08:41

Hmmm. I doubt if anyone is paid in advance.

[calahan] 19/10/2017 08:39

@ gmifsud - Which broker was that with? A new payment date hasn't been announced yet so has your broker paid you in advance of receiving the funds or something? From Monday's RNS.

"The Company will make a further announcement to confirm the payment date as soon as it has clarity."

(although I guess they could perhaps announce a past date rather than a future one, meaning shareholders could have received the payment before the announcement is made regarding the new date).

[gmifsud] 19/10/2017 06:48

I received my dividend yesterday.

If it is a company based in Israel then you would expect them to hold US$ Bank Accounts or even Euro accounts but not necessarily Sterling imo. Capita should know what currency was arriving and make preparations to converted it to Sterling. They can do the conversion offshore. Bureaucracy gone mad. I would guess somebody said no to US$ because of Rules and Regs on Money Laundering in the UK

[kchico] 18/10/2017 20:20

Thats really a long times it takes to clarify and sort out something fairly simple. Something like this that could potentially cause investors to question the financial situation of the company should be straightend out immediatly

[gargleblaster] 18/10/2017 18:12

One or two comments from those who are restless for a statement, but I would prefer that they only release a statement when they are absolutely certain the have nailed the problem.

[clarea] 18/10/2017 16:39

I'm in for an initial stake.

I wouldn't read to much into the top man buying I've seen companies in the past where the numbers looked good and rumours started one Ceo bought a million quids worth of his own stock only for the red flags to be proved correct and price dropped 60 per cent plus next month.

I think the fact this one pays a divi which has been raised over recent years shows they are one of the few overseas aim companies to be trusted.

[oneillshaun] 18/10/2017 16:26

Mount Teide - I think Ory was last seen on the golf course far to busy to deal with something as small a dividend........

[malcolmmm] 18/10/2017 15:48

LOL seen it all before, happened some months ago with the financial director selling shares for a valid reason, buy the dips

[mount teide] 18/10/2017 15:47

Ory needs to get this dividend payment debacle sorted once and for all - because as posted previously, for some of us it is nothing new, just affecting more people on this occasion.
