Starting to move this aft.

A nice rise today for you dc., again I wish my opay would move instead of dropping -ahhhhhh.

Thanks 3m. Sorry I did not reply earlier.

A buy in this weeks shares mag . Director buys at the start of the month. Starting to re-rate.

More from this weeks shares mag - GVC boss joins the rally. Chief exec officer snaps up shares even as they trade at seven-year high. With a prospective 8.1% dividend yield, online gaming provider GVC is one of the junior markets biggest payers. While such a high yield is normally cause for concern, we are comforted by dividend cover of 1.7 times, according to 2013 consensus forecast earnings. High yields are often a result of share price weakness but this is not the case at GVC.

GVC to restore divi earlier than anticipated

StockMarketWire.com

GVC will restore dividend payments earlier than anticipated after making 'material reductions' in the inherited cost base of Sportingbet.

GVC - a leading provider of services to the online gaming industry, - says revenues from the all brands, including Sportingbet, performed well in the six months to the end of June.

GVC says that for Sportingbet, sports wagers increased by 12% and averaged 2.4m per day compared with 2.1m in the corresponding period in 2012; net gaming revenue increased by 8% and averaged 265,000 per day compared with 246,000 a year ago.

The group says the increase in NGR - which is after betting payouts, customer bonuses, betting taxes and chargebacks and in-line with GVC's published accounting policies - is particularly pleasing against the absence of international football competitions (e.g. Euro 2012) in 2013. For GVC, sports wagers increased 9% to 1.5m per day (2012: 1.4m per day), and NGR increased by 17% to 325,000 per day (2012: 277,000 per day). GVC's management has been able to make material reductions in the inherited Sportingbet cost base. By the end of 2013, the inherited Sportingbet cost base should have reduced by close to 40%. The combination of cost-cutting, strong trading and tighter financial management, has meant that GVC is able to pay a dividend of 10.5c per share to shareholders in August this year - an amount higher, and a calendar quarter earlier, than the board anticipated. This brings the total dividends paid to shareholders to 159.5c in the last five years. The dividend will be paid on 1 August to shareholders on the register on 12 July. The shares will go ex-dividend on 10 July. Future dividend payment dates are likely to be at the beginning of the months of November, February, May and August in any given year.

At 8:57am: (LON:GVC) Gaming VC Holdings S.A share price was +12.5p at 296.5p

I bought a few of these a few days ago for the dividend, which for a AIM company is extraordinarily high, paid quarterly, which appears to be sustainable. The chart is good, and the story appears to be good. I believe the directors are paid bonuses connected to the dividend. Watching this closely to probably add before next e/div early November.

They look good humpback321, see post 46 - re dividend.

A buy in this weeks Shares - for income, offering a prospective 8.5% yield and paying quarterly dividends.
