Only you can answer that. What made you buy them in the first place?

63

So if anyone bought on the 10th of march they would still make it? I was wondering why it had a massive drop today is that because everyone’s selling due to the ex div or?

64

Anyone buys today will not be eligible for the dividend. The ex-dividend date is the date that the shares trade without the dividend (Hence “ex-” prefix at the beginning). What has happened is that the share price has been decreased by the value of the dividend.

Ahh so I bought today at near the bottom which hopefully should be OK for when it gets back up to speed again?

Also when I said selling I meant what you said the drop for the div, but thanks for letting me know, clears it up. :slight_smile:

Not sure I would say near the bottom Rio’s done well since the pandemic

But still a good company and by some analysts currently undervalued.

It largely follows the shape of iron ore prices

Looks like a good buying opportunity here
On the cheap because it’s ex-dividend

Do anyone why the information on Google finance are different from freetrade

According to the LSE website there was an off book or uncrossing trade (UT) - London Stock Exchange | London Stock Exchange

One at 18:09 has thrown the prices off, as the other trades around that time were a similar value i.e. around £62.20

If they are worried about climate stuff… why have they invested in RIO

:rofl:

Presumably many of them have no choice as it’s a big part of major indices.
