Every Friday morning our lead analyst Mark Riding sends out his weekly run-down and upcoming events in the investor calendar, like this one:

The FTSE 100 has had a poor week and is trading down about 100 points.

The past week has seen some good dividend increases from Avon Rubber (30%), Fenner (40%), B&M European (26%) and there was a 20% increase from McCarthy & Stone.

The week ahead is very busy with many companies reporting to the market including Easyjet, Johnson Matthey, United Utilities, Babcock and Severn Trent. Going ex-dividend this coming Thursday with decent yields we have VPC Speciality Lending (2.3%) and 3i Infrastructure for 2%.

Gattaca (mentioned last week) finally released their ex-dividend and payment dates. They go ex-dividend on the 21st December.
