half year divy & results ann. looming, page-15

If you have already made 14c a share Datto, there is not much point waiting much longer IMO, for a a trader. SP will drop after the ex div date by about 14c.
Question is what will happen between now and ex div. From past observations TLS SP tends to increase in value up until ex div date but past performance is no guarantee of future results.
The market is still a bit jumpy and even though there were signs of a newfound confidence early in New Year.
Courage could evaporate very quickly at any sign of trouble.
While I was almost eternally optimistic about European leaders working something out, last couple of days with Greece dragging its feet in signing the deal, I am experiencing a change of mood. There does not seem to be any sense of European Common Purpose in the Greek population and the politicians may well back down.
It will not help the Greek economy but in a perverse way may achieve some Greek unity, when they are rebuilding Greece, without having to worry too much what is happening in the rest of Europe. At least they will not be called upon to help Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Italy. They will have to worry only about their own problems and usually after things get really, really bad, they can only get better.

SO IMO keep your finger near the sell button,while you monitoring the Blomberg and Greek daily news on SBS.
And good luck to the holders and traders.
