(21st-April-2016) AGM announcements out today, interesting that the MD commented on the continuing SP weakness in spite of excellent results, point out that all 4 divisions are operating profitably and have growing revenues, On target for close to 5c in total dividends this year maybe more, over due for a major re-rating IMO.

Wait long enough and you see everything...so they say.

The long awaited re-rating has come over the last 2 days with the SP popping more than 22% on substantial volume, all the sellers taken out, still yielding 7% FF on today's close 75c.

Massive day for me, portfolio up over 3% probably my biggest one day rise..3 stocks moving double figures and another 3 more than 5% .

Specially when you know it's a good thing!!

Perhaps the market changed it's mind.

Many thanks

Funny - strange how the 5 year dividend chart can look so linear and perfect and yet thats not really reflected at all in the 5 year share price chart.

They're dividend has been awesomely consistent despite the price panics!
This has been a great bottom draw hold.
Went ex today so I guess a few think to get out after 10 years maybe it's time to get some volatility and go again at a lower level.
The only concern I have is that if this ETF fad continues and the buy sell hold artificial intelligence starts really cutting in, the not so old and old brokerage firms might be in a bit of strife.
But I don't think that is an issue just yet.
Let's hope they are working on the Apps to keep pace, just the same!

Results out today, more consistently wonderful numbers and a 0.055 cps FF final dividend, on target for total dividend this CY of maybe 10 cps, its taken a few years but my dividend yield on purchase price is now into double figures as my average price is 55c.

Traded above 80c today for the third time this year, could be in line for an ASX300 inclusion at the next re-balance as they have a MC above 200 million and the volume is reasonable, RFG out ~ BFG in?

It's a cracker and the only person buying it during the financial crises was Collin Bell and people were laughing at him.
Guess who's laughing now!!!

 

[Knobby22]

Price is accelerating, traders coming on board. I don't think we shall see the price near 68c again.
It was amazing how cheap this company was.

People who bought MQG or even the index?

It will be interesting to see the interim result. The swing factor will be ECM. The rest of the business is pretty ho-hum, although FUA jumped last year by 21% to $47.2b so some fee growth should come from that.

 

[Knobby22]

ECM is 49mil for nine months according to the latest update.
McLovin, do you have any concerns with the groups reliance on this?
