Thanks magaluti,
Its currently peaking 68p and dropping slowly,
Hypothetically speaking if the divi was 4% ish then the share price will sit around 65p just before the 20th.
I'm going to leave it in and see how it pans out, hopefully after the ex div date the share price rises and win win.
if nothing else a learning curve i'm on !! |
