Morning Lawstudent
Personally i would hold on to the options.My wife who works for Tesco has contributed to them over the years and always made money.She has 16000 ready to sell once the special dividend is resolved.I also do SAYE at my company,£400 in your bank is good but will you spend/waste it and interest on the money is zero.
Strange one.Wife normally re-invests but has switched to cash from now onwards.
In total £1020 dividend.£49 paid in to Santander last night but the other £971 is showing as due on equiniti but not paid in to Santander.Assume it will be a cheque.Has anyone else experience of this.Thanks in advance if so
I do not work for Tesco,my wife does and has for 20years.They are a fair employer in my opinion,there are worse out ther,trust me.Yes,double time etc has gone but most companies do not pay this anymore.Dave Lewis took some tough decisions but he has turned the company around and moving forward is a solid investment if not spectacular.
I will stay with this because i believe once the next set of figures are out it will increase towards 2.60 and possibly beyond.
In my opinion there is an absolute bloodbath coming around October and markets will crash.Foundations/investors still have to park there money somewhere and this i believe is reliable if not spectacular.
Morning Mr Cautious.
Totally agree with everything you say.Thankfully, both my wife and i work for Tesco and Computacenter, respectfully, and stand to add to our capital quite substantially due to taking advantage of SAYE schemes and both being able to commit £500 pcm in to both.
Find myself thanking Idiens and Rose.I was tempted to start investing in this marketplace and risked a small amount of money several years ago.Watching the daily negative comments and the obvious conclusion that this was all a con thankfully switched me away.I have made a very good profit from proper companies and would never ever ever go near the likes of Rose again.
A lesson well learned
My wife works for Tesco and being biased i think they are a country mile ahead of the competition and then some.
To be blunt Aldi and Lidl are semi popular for one reason only,they are cheap.Check the size of what you are buying though as the contents are often smaller.And,good luck if you find something you like and buy inmultiples because it is unlikely to be there next time.
Asda,dont make me laugh.
Sainsburys are in no mans land.
Morrisons aisles are too small.
B&M.Went in there once and came out in three minutes.Went straight home and jumped in the shower.Most of the people i encountered looked inter-bred.And they were the staff
Agree,if you can sit tight and do not need the money.I had 14000 through the Saye which i could of sold at £2.48 and in 24hrs they crashed to £2.11.
I fear that the stock market is going to get hit bad later in the year once the fallout from all this becomes more apparent.Sadly i am nearing retirement and cannot play the long game.Get the special dividend and sell when the shares get back to £2.50
Everyone has a capital gains tax allowance,i think at present its £12500.Tax if i am correct is at 18%on anything over that amount.I would guess you will like me pay tax at the marginal rate on the £9000.
I am sure somebody far more educated than me can put us right.
