Dull business but cracking chart, great dividend and ad hoc takeover rumours. I'm happy to settle for that kind of dull!

Starting to look up here.

Lovely chart.

NORWICH & PETERBOROUGH BUILDING SOCIETY

Off and running - looking for £4 pdq.

Closed here +57.

Also closed but think it could turn again as gap to be filled around £4. So might be worth another punt.

Ex-divi wed 30th Jan 2013 (7p)

Looking a tad oversold?

Makes the divi slightly more attractive. I thought declining 200 MA was a warning signal for likelihood of sp not being supported?

£3.80 looks like recent support - so may look if it gets there.

On edit £3.80 not £3!

Has just touched 50 dma so might bounce from there. Hope so as I took the plunge at 395. story of my life, either in too soon or out too soon!

AGM & Interim Management Statement

During our first quarter, the Engineered Conveying Solutions (ECS) division experienced demand levels from the North American coal industry as expected and above the lows of 2012. Following strong Q1 operating results in Australia, mining industry sentiment in that market has declined, primarily as a result of lower iron ore and coal prices. Other regions of the world showed steady demand patterns.

.

Now The divis out the way wee punt long @ 391.1

But why the fall, surely the ex div date was ages ago? Unfortunately I'm already long and have just watched my profit disappear overnight!

Yep thinking the same Chris as our discussion on chart attack thread.400p round number may be a difficulty but sp has been through it once so resistance shouldnt be as difficult.

Hi Maggie Chris informed me this weekend divi was today as per norm with all divis on a wed.

Think you should stay in as you may find a quick bounce back.

Correct. Ex-divi is today. -6% seems a bit harsh for a 7p divi.

Aye 7p maggie.

Apologies and thanks gentlemen for straightening me out. I thought it was payment day today! Hence couldn't understand fall.Duh!!! If I'd realised it was only ex div would have been tempted to take profits and buy back in, so shall just stay put.
