@Hopeful9Dont think there is a great amount of geo-political cause an effect going on here. SP probably peaked at 10.60 or so, and div at 24c a little less than expected at this SP...still a decent return though (around 2.2%) - would like to have seen around 3.5%
Imagine the shorters getting in to bring down SP to buy back prior to dividend record date. ... and of course we all know who the main culprits are.
Hard to pick where the shorters drawing the line but i am seeing around 9.53
Unfortunately not about the quality of the company at present, but the manipulations of the traders.
