Does anyone have a firm date for the dividend as I note last year was the 17 Mar but the year before 26 Feb?

Thanks

That is ex div I mean

Sold today ,its been a nice little earner this one.

EPS more or less as expected

Earnings per share increased by 12 per cent to 41.8p.

or

Earnings per share decreased by 26 per cent to 43.3p.

take your pick!


Dividend maintained. Final dividend of 23.5p per share, making
a total of 34.2p for the year (2003: 34.2p)


The bad debt provisions charge increased by 79 million, or 13 per cent,

Pre-tax profit from Scottish Widows Investment Partnership (SWIP) increased to
8 million, compared with 1 million in 2003

SW contributed 200 m in second half

No idea what the market will concentrate on!

SP still on the rise,wells fargo cant see it myself.

yes i have made 30000 out of this shatre over the last 2 years.

The rise is probably a rerating due to the recent tie in with Citigroup rather than any takeover bid.
