HFEL badnews 25 Nov 2015

Re: Rubbish charts on iii HFEL v SS... One word - TRUSTNET. Trustnet charts give the true picture with total returns and will astound you on the potency of compounding dividends.Why not consider a low cost ETF with a similar yield? IAPD, EMDV, SEDY and the new wisdomtree one DEM.I'm fed up with fund managers and their high charges. HFEL has a circa 1.2% TER, whereas the average EM ETF has a TER of 0.5%.Let's say over 30 years emerging market returns average 8% excluding costs. For a 10k lump sum HFEL returns 76,464.52. A low cost ETF returns 94,215.34.That's nearly 18k you've spent on pin-striped suits for managers who, on the whole, fail to beat market (average) returns.

Your dividend is in danger Not only I believe that the divi is in danger. See below from the Motley FoolDe La RueMoney printers De La Rue (LSELAR) disappointed the market yet again in Tuesday business, forcing its share value to fresh record lows. The Basingstoke business advised that revenues slipped 5% during April-September, a result that sent underlying pre-tax profit shuttling 38% lower to £12.8m.De La Rue has vowed to undertake a "root and branch" at its Cash Processing Solutions arm following the results, a decision that could see the firm hive off its cash sorting machine operations. But with competition in the industry hotting up, and technological advances resulting in an increasingly 'cash-less' world, troubles at this division are far from De La Rue's only problem.In light of an expected 22% earnings slump in the year to March 2016 -- the second successive drop, if realised -- the City expects De La Rue to keep the full-year dividend locked at 25p per share. I would not be tempted by a 5.6% yield, however, as the prospect of prolonged bottom-line weakness could see dividends at the printer take a huge whack.

Re: Where's Lambrini gone? AlanT,The two divis that you are quoting are for 2016.Neither of these dividends would actually be paid until 2017.Many investors will have sold long before then.My point is that you could earn 6.6% by buying yesterday and selling at the end of May 2016.That's 6.6% for holding the shares 7 months and a few days.I fully expect the 2016 divi (paid in 2017) to be a good bit lower, but I do not expect to be holding by then, unless this stock picks up dramatically in the meantime.

Re: OCDO, Time To Go Long Again..... Well I think you called that just right oldjoe1. I topped up one of my daughters yesterday (she was the only one with any cash).Also you will have noted that Nick Roditi increased his interest around the 20th of last month via his investment vehicles by 1.32 million shares to a total of 81,045,512, or 13% of the company, so I think we can safely assume that something is going to happen sooner rather than later.

Re: Interim results out today I was surprised by the size of the drop but its often the way with these small companies. I will wait to see if 120 is around the bottom of the dip. 2nd half should be stronger.Investors chronicle ran a piece with a buy recommendation but only accessible to subscribers!sharecast report below.ShareCast News - Marketing group Creston has warned full year results will miss targets after the first half was hit by weakness in the euro, client budget restraints and a decline in healthcare advertising sales.Yet the core communications business performed well and all delayed contracts were indicated to now be on track, with slower growth in the first quarter followed by a stronger performance in the second quarter and start of the second half.Results for the six months to 30 September showed revenue of £40.3m, which was 8% higher than than same period last year despite the £0.4m euro effect, with like-for-like sales up only 1% to £37.7m.Headline profit before tax rose 7% to £4m, with reported PBT down 75% to £1.1m as a £2m impairment hit from the closure of a face-to-face market research unit.The half-year dividend increased 5% to 1.42p per share.Chief executive Barrie Brien was pleased with both revenue and headline growth, despite the slower start to the first half, and hailed the progress against five-year strategy of broadening the company's offer.As well as the Splendid acquisition, June saw the purchase of a 27% in advertising agency 18 Feet & Rising and entered into three new partnerships a second international partner in digital healthcare communications, a global consumer trends and insight consultancy, and a digital strategist.Due to the slower performance of the UK health advertising offer, predominantly due to the healthcare industry's growing need for "integrated channel neutral and more patient centric campaigns", Brien took the decision to combine the offers of the group's DJM and PAN agencies to launch DJM PAN Unlimited as a multi-channel.Broker N+1 Singer said while the main engine, communications, performed during the period the overall performance was impacted by a weak acquisition performance, euro weakness and a soft start for a healthcare unit.But communications growth was 4% and contract wins during the period paint a bright outlook for the second half, and expects the reorganised health offer to result in the performance improving."The Splendid acquisition however has suffered a delay in contract starts due to client system integrators delays. This has impacted H1 results, but everything that has been delayed is now indicated to be on track."
