I agree with all the rest of your post.

I wish people wouldn't use these minimum pension contribution figures.

"We pay a paltry 5% and the employer pays 3% in the workplace scheme".

They are misleading, the minimum is 5% on earnings over £120 per week, at the factory I worked at for my last few years before retirement there were many part time workers who didn't earn very much more than £120 per week, so they were paying considerably less than 5% than their wage and our employer was contributing considerably less than 3%.

I know there is an upper limit too, but anybody earning £50k plus should be able to organise their own retirement.

Goldroo,

This example is wrong.

If you hold shares in a company at the end of trading on the day before the ex-divi day you are entitled to the divi.

You may sell them the following day (ex-divi day) as you would be selling them without the right to the divi (ex-divi)

Xxnjr, wow. Seven posts in a row!

And one of them accusing somebody else as being toxic to the board.

Read your posts back to yourself tomorrow when you are sober.

I've had nothing yet in either Fidelity or Halifax.

Hi, The RNS on the 11th November detailed the completion of the buyback.

We have another party in the mix already. Reform voters split the right vote at the GE giving Labour their majority.

I take it you disagree with these then.

I don't think it was a stupid move, the reasons behind selling the gold were good ones, it was however very badly timed.

We never hear about the money raised by the assets bought with the gold money.

I think Gordon Brown made other worse mistakes but they are not so easily used as political weapons.

It is a sign!

It is showing that LGEN has been added to your quickpics.

These are on the left of the tack.

The article doesn't say what they think the oil price will be if Canada fails to reach net zero by 2025.

They do admit it will be very difficult and challenging for Canada to achieve.

I cannot see India or China getting to net Zero by 2050.

Isleworthspy, give it a rest!

You asked why Redceo was in a buoyant mood.

He told you why.

Why is that dismally tragic?

As for the rest!! How old are you ??

Hi Alan, Part of my holding is with the Halifax and I received my Return of Capital about 3 days ago.

Look in the cash history. It is probably there described as a corporate action.

If it is not you need to get in touch with them.

Most undemocratic time in history [in the uk ?

It is commonly estimated that less than 10% of the adult male population had the right to vote for an MP at the time of the formation of the UK.

I think Cartuneheads explanation at 12.19 was clearer than the investopedia article.

Thanks Cartunehead.

I admit this has always confused me. I understand the ex-divi date but I do not understand the record date.
I am a buy and hold investor so I have always ignored the record date. If I buy before the ex-divi date I get the divi.

Now if I were to buy before the ex-divi date and sell on ex-divi date I think I would get the divi, but I'm not sure as I would not register on the record date.

I don't see any point in looking at any postal museum website.
All that happened when people were sending letters!
Most of us are more concerned with what's going to happen in the near future.

There is no desperation on my part.
If the OP didn't buy these somebody else did.
