Here's the link to the old NG. thread

Not the first time NG has gone down a lot more then the divi payed.

Tweaking of dates :- Amendment to Financial Timetable

The ex-dividend date quoted of 19 November 2014 for the interim dividend 2014/15 will be changed to 20 November 2014 to take account of the shortened dividend timetable following the implementation of T+2 settlement from 6 October 2014. This therefore also changes the scrip reference price announcement date, from 26 November to 27 November, as this is connected to the ex-dividend date.

Surely all stocks go ex-div on a Wednesday. Is the entire stock market changing to Thursday for ex-div?

Have a read :- Introduction of T+2 standard settlement period

Thanks Skinny. I must have missed that announcement. Thursdays for ex-div from October.

Incidentally, I have just checked on the performance of my NG. investment since I bought my shares back in August 2010. See chart below. If only all my shares had a nice trend line like that.

It's a very nice hold with the divi too.

I've held these in one shape or form since they floated and took up the 2010 rights issue - 2 shares @335p for every 5.

"As a result, we are maintaining our outlook for 2014/15, reflecting the expected delivery of another year of solid operating and financial performance and asset growth, consistent with sustaining our long term dividend policy."

Bounced right off support at 840 and now heading back to 900 and onwards. Technicals are excellent.

Breaking the 880p so expecting a new big figure shortly.

Still a bit crude...

skinny, works for me thanks!

A new high @901.50p

Price now back to the top of your upper channel skinny. A bounce from here would be expected, but I suspect we will have to wait until the outcome of the Scottish referendum. We could be in for one heck of a relief rally if the Scots vote 'no'.

I was going to have a reasonable short on the FTSE, but now I suspect (hope) the Scots will vote no - in which case, I can see the FTSE taking out the all time high of 6,950.60.
