As expected the past week has been quiet from a reporting perspective. The FTSE 100 is down approx. 100 points on the week.

The week ahead sees things picking up with the December year end reporting season underway and the busiest time of the year coming over the next two months.

This coming Thursday sees a couple of companies going ex dividend with yields of 2% or more; Stock Spirits for 2.5% and Victrex for 2%.

New into DividendMax this week at the request of a member we have Gym Group.

The DividendMax 2020 model portfolio will be released in the coming week.
