Hi LN, When opening the website u arrive on the home page.If u look under your shares then SENS has the latest news there.Of course its more difficult for derivitives,then i look unde LIVE PRICE of the shares backing the derivitives at least once per day.To get the old history of shares,the present payout and the next payment i go to SHARE PROFILE.They are a bit tardy in putting in the present pay out when its not one of the most active shares.There is also NEWS SERVICES with SENS HEADLINES which can be read daily.I hope this helps,please ask any further questions u may have or if this is not address your query.

My trade with PPC is an installment and therefore i shall share my stratergy for dealing in installments and shares with you.This information is very delicate as insider trading is illegal.How ever we find that suddenly a share starts to run awhile before an update trading statement is issued ,which usually means some one knows something(nobody has been successfully prosecuted for insider trading as far as i know,as it is difficult to prove).One must watch the volumes etc.I can buy my share up to three months before a dividend is payed,usually the final one.I trade the larger capital shares as they are more liquid and easier to get out of in a hurry if necessary.I usually keep the share till after the LDT date as there is minimal tax on dividends.Some time after declaration date a share falls back only to rise again towards the LTD date.
