Shareprice up 3.32% at time of writing - curiously now approx 20p more than Fox offer price of £10.75.

£10.95 - I think I'll take some of that, I've just sold down to average weighting - Sky was overweight before all this fox/disney stuff started and has been income devoid for a while so I'll take a profit in lieu of a couple of missed dividends.

Argghh, stop it kempiejon, I'm a devout Doris...it does look tempting though...I'll have to check the ex-div date for the next interim dividend that was declared. Right, time to switch off Outlook.

Cheers, OLTB.

Perhaps I should qualify that - I too try not to sell but I'll make an exception for unsheltered capital gains in the run up to the new tax year. Sky fitted that bill perfectly for me. I still hold within my ISA where any future dividend increases can come and if the take over goes ahead at the expected price so be it, I know I'm not clever enough to know whats coming next but I also know I like to maximise my capital gains.

Next Xd 22nd March for 13p.
