Update No. 269 – 27/05/16

As mentioned last week, I’m travelling, so don’t wait with bated breath for the usual 500 words of quality prose on topics both interesting and unexpected. Instead this week, I’ve written some poetry.

 

EGP bought some Clydesdale Bank

When results came out we knew to thank

NAB for ‘twas they gifted it to ya

The pitch was fat

We swung a heavy bat

When the fat ones come ya gotta have a crack

Now we sit back and sigh a ‘hallelujah’

 

You need to imagine the foregoing verse slipped into the following (with all due apologies to Leonard Cohen):

Your shares will go ex-dividend and the shares will be issued at the ex-dividend price based on Tuesday’s market close. I will endeavour to have the dividend statements out within a couple of days – Tony Hansen 27/05/2016
