My prediction last time 3 months before they announced the dividend was for a 15c divvy then
3 months later the divvy was set at 14c so I was 1c out.

Its based on the last 6 months not the last month or quarter.

This month has seen a very big drop in the spod price which won't effect the divvy.
It might for the final one later in the year but not this one.

Iron ore is booming along and many might well bail on PLS to chase dividends with the iron ore miners.
If I sell my PLS now due to massive profits I may well be paying tax. With all my franking credits its best to hold my PLS
and wait until the junior miners fold then watch the spod prices rise.

This is currently the only viable battery chemistry that does not contain lithium.14 Dec 2023
