Well we have a British ISA on the horizon which may give UK shares a boost. The only issue there is that the current government may not be in power so will it go ahead?
Real,
Is that all about to change? It won't take too much of a shift by institutions to the UK market to send it into overdrive.
So the government want to “create opportunities for a new generation of retail investors to engage with public markets”. According to this article, the MP's and Ministers Pension Fund have only 1.7% of their assets invested in the UK. Smart people.

Share seems to be climbing back well after going XD, a pleasant surprise. JJ
Charts says at current rate of HMG sales, extrapolating from 3/1 at 37.97% to 15/3 at 30.98% gives HMG 0% on 25/12. Someone in HMG has a sense of humour ! You could not make it up.
I wouldn’t mind this dropping more, I’d reinvest my small divi
IP3LY unfortunately not 250
Think it will drop more with the US data news
Hopefully only short term
The UK government has reiterated plans to sell its stake in NatWest to the general public “at the earliest opportunity”.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt said the Treasury wanted to “create opportunities for a new generation of retail investors to engage with public markets”.
Hunt added: “So we will proceed with a retail sale for part of the government’s remaining NatWest shares this summer at the earliest opportunity, subject to supportive market conditions and value for money.”
A previous update from UK Government Investments last month said the retail offer could even start as early as June.

Today is ex-div so you won't get div. if you bought today and hence the drop.
Yes Mo2047 will drop about 4.5% (11.5p) so about 240 mark - before hopefully recovering a couple of % or better back to 250 by close of tomorrow.
ATB :)
Am I right this will drop tomorrow gecause dividend
Fandos.
At this level before the div there will be every chance of higher highs and higher lows as Most of the BAD news is probably in at this point.
GLA
If you buy today you will be in for the div and if you look at the charts the stock usually carries on improving into April.
If you buy today, you are in.
Good luck.
If buy shares today, I will take dividend tomorrow? Or they need more that one day day to short my purchase?
New ISA season coming up and guess which high Street bank has virtually no exposure to upcoming car finance scandal affecting Lloyds 2.5bl, Santander 1bl, Barclays 350ml and Close Bros 250ml. Yet another sp driver...
If, as many suggest, NWG are now in a different position from their bail-out days, then the recent rally in SP should barely register the Ex Div date tomorrow rather than its usual collapse seen in the past.
Maintenance of trading performance within guidance obviously would be required to avoid the usual undue negativity attached to whatever headwind seems to be blowing.
After all, there are always headwinds when it comes to forward looking risk assessment but that is just a factor ever preent in Banking's core activities.
Bought £1250 when
This dropped to 175, which I had bought more
XD Thursday another driver.
No short position today,sp going up
I did wonder that but aren't the trading decisions down to the merchant bank handling the buy back? And that could backfire - look at BARC - dropped on opening on ex-div then more than made it up within 2 days.
Maybe they're waiting for the SP to go ex divi then loading up the buyback.
Am I missing something or is the number of shares purchased each day tiny compared to the £300m buyback announced? Is is because of the share price rise? Can't see it's risen enough to cause a problem with staying within the terms of the buyback but could be wrong?
Anyone can shed a light why this time when it’s all in +ve.
Natwest is so cheaply priced right now, that all sorts of investors across the pond will be eyeing it up. I will be amazed if it's not been taken over this time next year. As soon as the government ownership gets to less than 10%, I think there will be a feeding frenzy.
