Re: Split has done the trick Actually, looking at the chart now it is still showing the price as 1235 without the split. Not sure if this means that volumes are still also shown as 10x fewer!London Stock Exchange website also has chart options to show volumes and lists the trades for the most recent day. I expect that will be more reliable!SG

Re: Split has done the trick Hi MT,I look at the advanced chart selected from Chart.... tab on this EAT web page (or for any share) and in the settings button (bottom left) you can tick the box for volume and save settings. The volume is then displayed as bar graph below the price chart. Works then as default view for all charts. It will give daily volume with the numbers on the cursor for each day but time can be zoomed in or out up to 5 minute intervals!The new ii website - changing soon will apparently have the option to paste charts or other images onto the message area which will be useful to illustrate things like this.There is a community/ii forum site with updates about progress on the new version of the website.

Split has done the trick the trading spread now fractions of a % when it used to be about 1.5%. Modest improvement in NAV I guess mostly from exchange rate movement.Can't tell what the split has done to trading volumes though, is there a simple tool for tracking this does anyone know?

Re: Share consolidation? Basic schoolboy error (presumably they were hoping you wouldn't spot it). At least we now know where kids who failed GCSE maths go to work - Barclays. ...Funny how errors always work in favour of the business thought innit? As deepsleeves said, take your business elsewhere. I also have an account with AJ Bell, along with several other platform providers including Hargreaves Lansdown and Halifax to name but two more - I've had nothing but good service from all three.

Re: Share consolidation? W DonSuggest you take your business elsewhere. I moved to AJ Bell based on cost. They seem to be reasonably able.Deep

Re: Share consolidation? For any of you holding this IT in an account with automatic dividend re-investment activated, please see the transcript of a message I have just sent to the bunch of amateurs commonly known as Barclays Smart Investor.Please check that your broker has not done the same..."I hold European Assets Trust (EAT) in my self select ISA and I have dividends re-invested.EAT paid a dividend over a week ago, but the extra shares were only credited my account in the last day or so. Sadly, despite taking a significant time to credit the new shares, the number you have credited is incorrect.EAT have recently performed a 10 for 1 consolidation of shares, taking my holding from 1553 to 15530. The dividend should have amounted to approximately 26 shares before the consolidation or 260 after it.Looking at my account today I see that 26 shares have been credited, making my holding 15556. This is obviously wrong, as around 260 shares should have been credited.Please correct this error at your soonest convenience and explain how this error occurred so that you can make sure that it does not happen again.Regards,"

Re: Share consolidation? My nominee account with Barclays Dumb Investor is showing the old share quantity but at the new trading price. I expect they will catch up eventually.

Re: Share consolidation? ...And from the last annual report: " In response to shareholder comment and to improve marketability, the Company will seek approval at the forthcoming General Meeting to undertake a stock split. If approved, with effect from 3 May 2018 each shareholder will receive ten shares for every one share held. The quarterly dividends payable on 31 July and 31 October 2018 would be adjusted commensurately from €0.22 to €0.022 per share. " So assuming £/€ Fx of 1.13 the divi is now ~ 7.79p (rounded) giving a running yield of ~ 6.28%. It seems the usual suspect brokers have gone all shy of EAT with no up to date info.

Re: Share consolidation? Doh! Should have looked for info on the F & C website instead of relying on brokers... "At the General Meeting of the Company held on 18 April 2018, shareholders approved a resolution for a ten for one stock split such that each shareholder would receive ten shares with a nominal value of €0.10 each for every one share held currently. The record date for the stock split is after the close of trading on 2 May 2018. " [link] ...So, what is happening to the dividend - presumably it will also be reduced by a factor of ten?!!! ...So still the same yield - circa 6.2% ?

Share consolidation? What has happened to the share price of EAT? Last time I looked it was in the 1200s but today it's 124. Has there been a share consolidation? What is happening to the dividend - previously stated to be €0.22 per quarter? EAT also appears to has disappeared from the HL website (I'm sure it was listed there previously).I'm not currently invested here - it was/is on my watchlist and I received a stream of alerts this morning saying the share price had fallen off a cliff, but I can't find any information about a share price consolidation, etc.

Re: Interim Statement I've been a long tem holder, some 40% up on my staged investments.I can't speak for others, yield is obviously an attraction, but also the assest group.The share price erosion isnt an issue for me at this time, with all the volatility it's to be expected.now you should have guessed that I'm not a seller, but neither am I a buyer.I'd like to add more. I have around 50% of my target holding, but I'm not willing to at a premuim to NAV. So, I'm sitting on my hands.I also make use of IDVY, IEUR and other IT's to build up European exposure. All ot them showing healthy profits.Mainly becuase I bought when European stockes were out of fashion. That should also tell you that all "postitive" veiw on European equities isn't for me. When I hear that I firmly hold, but not add. For the moment, I'm more interested UK stocks. That could be a very big gamble. To me UK stocks don't look that cheap, given the risk, but they do look cheaper than many other markets.So EAT? I think it's well run, has an interesting asset class, good yield, but is at a +to NAV.DL
