I have not threatened you, but reported your post for libel.
Good evening.
Oh crikey, I did say no more.As for your threats ,I have no fear of them .Your own comments are worthy of a complaint of bullying.
It seems you are seeking outside aid in this conversation thread.
I have more to say, but alas at the moment am wining and dining my perfect wife and certain of an exciting end to the night.
I will raise a glass for you tonight and wish for you happiness and health for you and your family.
Conversely you must remember me when you too raise a glass.
I will comment later tonight as my seemingly drawn out necessary retorts are are irksome to you.
Keep looking for a later extended dialogue from me.
All the Georgey.
5 feedback lol. Let me guess.
i thought this was the message board for direct line instead we got a ***** fight going on. both of you take it somewhere else
When DT wins the elections, we’re all going to be dirty rich again so what matters to be down 12% in break even price. This will be back to a good level by March 2025 via the 🚀
It’s sad, but true.
Detector,
You seem to not have the capacity to understand what i have said so seem happy to open yourself to libel. I would seriously think twice before accusing someone of tax avoidance in an open forum like this.
It doesnt take much to understand how children can receive money if not directly given it by their parents. I would take that nugget of help.
I have reported your comments as libellous.
I suggest that's the end of the matter so no need for long and tedious reply.
Maybe stick to investment funds rather than direct investments.
I have never implied that you have done or are doing anything illegal ,on the contrary the total opposite as I stated as these shenanigans are all legit amd kosher.
You haven't mentioned if maybe you have as I suspect maxed out your own and maybe partners ISA allowances when deciding to open an ISA for your 6 year old.
I expect your 6 year old hasn't the capacity to earn cash as yet and undertake the necessary online instructions to invest .
You obviously have not got the specifics of my remit mentally which indicates to me that you have maybe got your knickers in a twist as I maybe have touched a nerve somewhere.
Don't get too upset as you are certainly not getting any accusations of fraud from me as you are legitimately taking advantage of a legal tax reduction course of action as a lot of us endeavour to enact when possible.
I still hold on to the opinion that non tax paying investments should be for working age adults only and not extended to children of maxed out adults.
You have absolutely no basis or fact to pursue a course of legal action. This course ,off tangent thread is clearly a bullying tactic that people use when things and conversations do not evolve to their pleasing.
I feel our conversation must now conclude as we will end up falling into despair the both of us
I truly hope you can forgive me for rattling you a bit as you fired the first shot.
All the best for your early retirement and well done for investing wisely.And of course the best of future to your 6 year old which I am sure will be great with your wise guidance.
Just a wee tip ,' take it easy mate,you will last much longer'
Good luck to all.

So what you are saying is that i'm putting my own money in my sons ISA and avoiding tax? That is some conclusion you have come to and couldn't be more wrong if you tried. I can't go in to personal details but i would be careful on making assumptions that could find yourself being chased for slander.
Some people are on a conpletely different level to youself and just accept it.
The elite of our society are constantly creating schemes and wangles to avoid and drastically reduce and in lots of cases wipe out their tax exposures.
They use offshore havens ,trusts, various investment schemes and indeed at their low end ,ISA investments which over the years have become increasingly generous and extended to include very young children.
Your comment to your 6 year old having an ISA says it all.
I am sure it is your own hard earned you are depositing in your 6 year olds account as I suspect your own allowance of tax free maxed out.
I think this rule of ISA extension to kids is ridiculous.
ISA investments should only be offered to adults of working age as current legislation leaves loopholes for adults to extend their own ISA tax negation.
And of course it is all above board kosher and legal.
On DLG I am sure that it has been a grind for some and great for others depending of course on their entry points and sp's.
Dlg has been good for me.
On negative holders I can say that the reinstated divi is very positive although they have not stated is a permanent going forward.
It will be great if they announce another divi down the line then the SP will climb too.
I presume different layers and structures will be built into the DLG business model over time.
It would be great if DLG incorporated their policy offers into all the comparison sites as this would expand their offer exposure .This is crucial and existential for DLG going forward. I will write to DLG to seek if this change is a maybe or fact and put any info of reply here.
DLG will come good and will materialise as a great pick for us all.
As I mentioned before another dividend payment announcement will be fantastic going forward.
Fingers crossed we will get one.
All the Georgey.
Detector,
My comment was related to this share not the whole UK share investment market. 30 years investing and retired at 42 due to my investments, son has had a junior ISA since he was 6.
IMO what's more likely to do for overseas bids of UK companies is the expected change of government later this year.
It will be easy win for Labour to impose additional measures (job security promises?) and /or taxes on overseas raiders.
The UK is 'on sale' at the moment, and even more so when the timing and speed of interest rate declines are better known, but bidders will want to see their purchases completed or at least agreed prior to an election result.
This means that the next 2-3 months will be critical for anyone eyeing up UK bargains /opportunities - DLG included.
The whole bid seemed a bit speculative, but it has improved the share price quite a bit even with the fall and then modest rise today. It's now in the realm of my other down on their luck shares rather than me cursing them every time I scroll past them at 40% down. Question is whether these insurers are ripe to be picked off by foreign competitors.
There will be other bids for DLG, take over rules and times lapses taken into consideration.
DLG will soon be getting it's tail chased again.
The conundrum is will it be caught.
gla.
Who cares, I suspect a lot of us do care.I have really enjoyed a good run over the last 20 years of share dealing.
My good homework and some slices of luck have helped me visualise an early retirement.
Dividends have played an important part while sp targets take time to achieve.
The cake icing is logging on to see a big sp jump when one of my holdings have received takeover interest.
One day all these share shenanigans will be done for me and then it will be over to my son to take on the market , he has what it takes , he is following my lead with due diligence ,patience , nerve, follow your gut and cut and of course knowing when to press the sell button on profits and not get greedy.
I am sure I will leaving him a good platform to success.
When making any investments of your own do check that they are all covered by the governments backed FSCS the financial compensations scheme.
Best of Georgey to all invested anywhere.
The share price is starting to recover from mondays fall and this stock will rocket when they return to profit later in the year.
Dividends, bids, who cares.
Know I don't agree, you know nothing about the insurance business and that is the problem with much of the garbage which is written on here.
There won’t be another bid for dlg, because the time has passed.
If you want decent dividends buy now. It’s going to rise
They might have to call Green Flag
I'm of a mind that DLG will not get through 2024 without being taken out by a reasonable bid.
Anyone else agree?
