Quite right, pooch! (Nice snuggling up to you on the leaderboard......!!!)

Keep it simple. Anyone who challenges the rules should be deducted 10,000

Vasey, snuggle snuggle! :-)

In all fairness a divi payment should be made to those that are long on that stock, this balances those making profits from shorting xd. As i said a player needs to request this payout. It can be paid out on that day.

Golddog - Why not take Hilary's easy solution this week and then if it proves to be to much of a pain in the backside then revert to the first weeks rules again next week where the dividend is not paid. How about that? It would be a fair compromise.

HBOS goes ex div. on Wednesday 19.6p

Jeroo, That would give you a payout of 627 on Wed!. Yes?

Golddog - Yes indeedy it would :)

Well it's good to have you on my team then. :-)


The Poochies will Win! The Poochies will Win! :-)

627 less tax

...and the juicy bone for Pooch as he now has considerably more work to do. You're a good-natured hound, GD - even if he is one of your team-mates.

Hilary - the thing i meant about those who were long not getting their divi till later was a reference to the actual payout of a divi, which I gather is what some are looking for, and which in real life doesn't come on the xd date but several weeks later. But I guess it may as well be paid early.

Other comps elsewhere - T2W site for example - ignore divis altogether and leave players to exploit the xd date by shorting if they wish to. An altogether simpler approach. - and simple is always favourite with me :-)

If shorting wasn't permitted there might be some point in rewarding holders with the actual divi once they've suffered the penalty of an xd-day dip. But shorting is allowed, so no need imo.

GD,

You will be glad to see Elan Corp ELA has just started and intraday reversal so I am back square already(;-)

jeffmack, Now that's funny! :-) But let's all pretend that taxes dont exist just for this game.....pretty please!

Vasey, If i roll over will you tickle my tummy?

Please note that im only incorporating Divi paypouts for long trades by request! If shorting on xd there will be no penalty!

Mr Ash, I will update the game again in a mo and see where you are then! hee he.

I see what you mean now, Juzzle. I hadn't realised that you were proposing to make a one-off payment of the divi to the competitors account.

I think that whatever GD decides to do about the divis, it needs to be uniform so that all competitors know where they stand and are treated equally.

edit: By my calculations, GD's fund should be debited by 1,639.32 in respect of BARC going ex last week. I've a feeling that might influence his decision.

:-))

Bugger sod and DRAT!

....and what's wrong with being above me, Gdub?

Nothing...I'm happy to be above you, but I'd also be happy to be below you, or any other position you like! ;)

Note to Gdub:

Remember the sodding deadline! ( ISYS is gonna ruin me! )

What we have here is the birth of rules. Last week's game has finished and should not be effected retropectively by todays decision on dividends. This week, I'm asking for the dividend to be paid on a share that I bought with this in mind. In truth, I would not have picked HBOS as a long if it were not about to go ex dividend on Wednesday. I've already one huge gamble in the shape of a LLOY long and would not in all honesty pick HBOS and a companion to it.

edit: Oh dear! I seemed to have hit a 'nana skin - down from 6th to 13th on the leader board - Ug.

Hilary, It's not a one off payment to my team mate! From now on anyone who is long on a stock that encounters a div payment can request it's payment on that day issued.

Sorry Gdub! hee he.

Splendid! Play up Poochies!
