The only tax I think on an isa is inheritance tax but could be wrong. When it's sold the pot is added to the wealth, unless they are eligible aim shares for tax relief.

Morning. I must admit I thought it was £5k on dividend tax so just googled it and it has been reduced to £2k. This won't affect me next year as all my remaining certificate shares will be in my isa, will be effected last year and this. I had a Charles Schwab pep account which was swapped into isa before Barclays bought them out( what a shower yuk) I had about 12 different stocks in it by the time of the dot com bust so didn't effect me much. I retired at 58 so not done too bad but tend to supplement my pension with divis, can't keep accumulating. ATB:))

Some of the shares I've been involved with have been bombarded with shorters just after an institution came on board, might have been a coincidence but doubt it. I quite like things the way they are at the moment, not much movement in the price and sticky

Hi Ericnat. Perhaps your right he came to Sound with a very good cv I believe from BG and was not taken on as a director , the Board must have faith in him to make him a director. I'm sure the Board/team would have decided on the position of Badile not just one man, all would have had an input. Be positive

I hope a tie up with Magners doesn't happen. I would prefer the integration of the Charles Wells business be successfully completed before hand. Companies that grow to quick tend to fall harder

Hi Shaun. You are looking at it very negatively. JP has put together a world class team and he is the leader by far, he has got the backing of the Moroccons and a world class oil services group. If these 3 wells fail which I positively believe they won't they still have found a huge amount of gas around TE5,6,7 remember 1bcf burned off in the EWT and it replenished itself. I'm sure JP has other irons in the fire if the wells are no good. I'm keeping the faith with JP and so should you be. ATB :))

Hi LGOfan I agree with you it's a very positive attitude towards the shareholders it's a lesson to other aim companies how to run their businesses and not to keep diluting. ATB :))

Ever since I heard 8 years ago that there was a very respected chap taking over Sound I can't believe how good he's been and is definitely my favourite CEO , closely followed by Leo Koot of CERP and Ralph Findlay of Marstons. In very positive with JP to deliver ATB:))

Just to say if I hadn't diversified in 2008 that would have been it for me. I never had George wimpy shares after working for them in the early 70s wasn't keen. I also have Hsbc trading account only use it for growth stocks now with the change in divi tax

Morning Nige yes each to their own. I've worked through 4 recessions and the dot com bubble and seen the damage they cause so that's one reason I diversify, secondly with Bryant share options the providers all issued shares to us ie Abbey, Leeds, Halifax, thirdly the excitement of oil exploration (when it goes well) .I think I'm a frustrated geologist. My wife has a different plan to me only invests in divi companies and her criteria is the sp must be 3x divi x10 or greater then just leaves them alone. Whose is the best way probably hers but mine is more interesting. Though she does have one non divi stock Sound even she gets excited and joined the facebook site. Before someone asks I guessed at my average but is probably in the negative including divis, the free shares issued by Bryant and the eventual takeover by Taylor's.

Cm I don't know what your expecting to learn from this Board I take it you don't read it properly. I've been investing in this share for nearly 40years through my Bryant times and my average I would guess at below 3p. I don't care for or listen to the rubbish from one poster but most of the main contributors Have opened my eyes to other ways of making investments /profits and I am still learning from them. I probably won't change the way I invest 50% divis 50% growth and spread the risk considerably. Your other comments re builders having problems, they have always had problems and will continue to learn from them whether it be through recession or boom there are always challenges. ATB :))

Hi Emily did I read that you regret not buying Next in the 1980s cos so do I. They were 4p and I thought they were going bust. They topped £80 big mistake. Next mistake not selling Taylor Woodrow £5 went down to 4p. Then not selling LGO over 6p. Still positive and doing ok ATB:))

"Sell in May come back St Ledgers day" don't know if that old saying rings true anymore with the internet. But I know people who do

Interesting reading your visit to Aylesbury and the Marstons pubs, lucky you didn't come to one of the ones I use in Worcester on a Monday can't get a seat half price steak and chips, not a big pub though but once all the diners have gone it fills back up with drinkers. I've been with Sound energy for 8 years when it was a dead duck then James Parsons took over, best ceo I've ever come across . I've every faith in him to get me a 4 digit price on any sale:)) next favourite ceo is Leo Koot of CERP and thirdly our Ralph Findlay and Peter Redfern of TW By the way talking about the debt levels Ralph assured us all at the agm that the debt levels were manageable and their plan was to dramatically reduce the debt by 2022 from memory. It's over 6 months since the agm nearly time for the next one , not driving this time catching the train, £1 a pint

Hi Tom feeling a bit negative now the wife wants to go and look at those retirement flats :)) not that we would buy anyway she likes her garden but it getting too big for us to cope with. Reckon I could get 6 houses on it, she'd never forgive me if I did that. No way could you do that in the future with today's new builds postage stamp plots

There seems to be no sign of a crash around Worcestershire there are builders everywhere. Either side of me and around the corner , extensions and converting a bungalow into 3 storey flats, driving me nuts. If you think there is a recession look at some exclusive luxury retirement flats in Malvern "Audsley Ellerslie" Wates are building more and are still selling. Where's my ear muffs :))

Hi Allforone the buy to let on new builds is normally focussed on apartments and that market has slowed. All the sites around here are mainly 5,4 and 3 bed houses which this market doesn't seem to be slowing down, well not yet anyway and I'm sure the Bod have their hands on the tiller to change direction :))

I always tried to see the positive points of those 2 but the Doriemus issue was the last straw for me, a rights issue then delisting. Oh well let's move on and hope we finish above 5.0 today

I would like to put the losses that NR ran up to the back of mind and look forward to better times ahead, as a new company we are cash flow positive. We have a team on the ground to manage the flow rates from each well and to manage the WF. These two items are mainstay to being cash flow +. Any other news is just pure bonus. ATB :))

Found it. Yum gewurtstraminer reminds me of a wine trip to the Alsace :))
