Happy , I had £550 until a month ago and bought a further £2500

I bought £550 of these last year at 240p had a couple divi to reinvested ..

Bought £2500 more at 254p a few weeks ago. So I’m quite happy. I’ve rolls Royce goes up more, and this drops back , I’ll transfer my money over here too

I will be happy to see Bt shares decline for the next few weeks. I want to bed and isa in April !!!

I want to get all my greedy dividends and NO TAX !!!

No tax. NO NO NO NO !!!! NO TAX!!!!! ALL FOR ME

from there I want moon

Sains coop deal collapses ?

Yes, it is obvious that as the Uk declines, the government will tighten the noose on earners more and more.

First it’s CGT reductions, then it’s targeting Isa’s. In 10 years there’ll be no new isa allowances and I imagine they’ll even go after existing holdings

The thing to do, in my opinion, is look to sell some or all of my holdings , as the prices recover, in the coming years.

Perfect game for me would be to see Bt hit £3.50 one day and sell the lot, before the above noose tightening happens.

I bought my shares at 397p and 440p. Will just be holding them. Will only reinvest divi under 435

Where is Handymandy these days

I have 53000 Bt and 12000 vod

Fleccy out of curiosity how many shares do you own? No problem if you don’t want to divulge

Hopefully the right advice but I’m happy to be corrected as the advice we get back will apply to me too

Phatkatzout that’s roughly the number of shares I have outside an isa too .
I am hoping the share price does not go up , meaning I can bed and isa more of them into the isa wrapper .

The answer would be yes put as many in as you can up to the £20k limit, unless you have other shares in which case you need to consider balancing your portfolio and Bt may be overweight meaning leaving outside isa in favour of other stocks might be wise. You can sell some of the Bt outside the isa .

Equally some high divi yielding shares may be better in the isa than Bt, as the dividend tax free allowance reduces from £2k to £1k from April and to £500 in 2024.

If you only have Bt shares transfer £20k in April and the next April.

104p again for me

Fleccy to clarify I meant you need a decent pot of shares with a dividend income from it which provides a necessary cash income one day . A cash income is always necessary and worthwhile

At 17:27 Fleccy was posting decent posts , at 17:43 he was YouTubing after his first large red wine

I’m
at least 20 years off retirement, so have reinvested plenty divis and extra cash, but anything over £1.60 now I won’t be reinvesting .

The biggest gift cash can give you is security and gives you the option of working or not. It empowers you.

That’s worth more than spending . Depends how much you have whether you perceive you can do both

I thought 104p by end of week

Instead another dull one

As said below , covid ukraine and cost of living all things become old news fast, and the drop in sales coming is already priced in. Especially for those who only bought from 85-120p

It’s Australian Macquarie rumoured to be buying mng

But Macquarie are often linked with take overs that have no weight, such as BT group…

A stock I timed my buys right on for once,

155p last year and 212p in the last two weeks

Price is the one, as many are underwritten by the same
