You would be very hard pushed to owe cap gains tax on vod shares, Even if you had bought at �1.50 before the verizon sale' you would probably have a cap gains loss, as the gains would have been realised in the tax year of the verizon sale & the re issue of a reduced amount of vod shares, would result in a loss. The vod share swap would count as almost a 50% cap gains loss. Since the verizon deal, the vod sp has had a bad run ( though good divi's) About 2.40 high, down to 1.90 low, I have moved shares into I S A 's only recently (2 years) because of the 7.5 divi tax & open'd them with I G stockbrokers because there was no charge to hold an I S A , but now they want to charge me, What a rip off, I complained but no good, so I will transfer to hargreaves, (my non I S A broker at a �45 a year each charge. I wonder if I S A's are worth it sometimes?

Ok Sorry I should have said approx 25k, but makes no difference in my situation. If I sell �35 k worth, there is no way we will make over 22.6k profit so I didn't bother checking the current rate of C G T, but thank you for letting me know!

Why didn't I sell in the new year, is like saying why didn't I back Federer to win the aus'i open. I don't have a crystal ball & thought the sp would rise, that's why., but I was wrong. As for cap gains, forget it, I'm only going to sell �35k worth, so split between me & the wife, there's no chance of that. �25k is free each year for 2, so I would have had to buy at about 80p!

I hope we get a good run after results on 15th May , but as I have to sell some (approx 12%) by end of April, i'm hoping for a good run before that.

I need to sell about 12% of my vod holding by the end of April, & I'm hoping for 2.30, below �2 would be very bad, but I just hope for the best. Come on Gerry, what price would tempt you to buy vod?

There's me agreeing with everything you say until that last sentence! As I don't intend to buy any more vod shares in the near future I definitely don't want the sp to fall, even a tad. However your overall opinion that vod is doing ok regardless of the current sp makes a lot of sense.

Mulder, I hope you are right, 2.35p, but how do you work out the book value?

If I had the money I would buy now, but I don't so I shall be holding.

Nice recovery on the dow, up 800+ from its low point today, Close 300 +on the day. Can it continue, or will I get that Monday morning feeling? I've lost count how many times I've told my brother vod will hit 2.50, now he just ignores me!!

I hope your right, vod is a solid company. With your name you should know about direction (compass) & also about bonds (007).

I think to say if the divi gets cut ,it's over for this share, is a bit extreme, but as I've said before, you have an annoying habit of being right, (sometimes)!

I hope the divi .does',t get cut because it would probably cause the sp to fall. But I still think that if it was cut to lets say 11p the yeald would still be good at about 5% & the divi always comes out of the share price anyway. I think the main reason the vod sp doesn't increase by much over the years is because the divi is so high it holds back any rise in the sp on ex divi days. That's not the way the market will see it however, so lets hope no divi cut. Nice rise today, so I can relax a bit. If it hits 2.30 by May I will be reasonable happy because I have to sell some by then.

I cant pay it off because I don't the funds, & I,m not selling vod at the current sp, so I hope sp rises by May so I can sell some then.Good luck with your broker, but vod sp still falling.

Char I think you are right, I like your bullish stance, but I,m not brave enough & can't afford it, so I,ll probably kick myself later for not buying if it does fall to �2 & then rise later.. I wonder if Gerry will be tempted?

I'm just glad I didn't top up with my divi, It was tempting, but I would be very nervous now if i had. Just hoping for big bounce back. All because wages going up in the u.s., meaning u.s. interest rates may rise, crazy that can cause such a big fall! , but perhaps just an excuse for a correction.

I already have an interest only mortgage of 30k at 3.9%, so lower than vod yeald, but it finishes in may so I have to pay it off by then. If I do top up vod in april, it would be for about 4 to 5k into an i s a. but I probably wont. If I sell shares I do so from non i s a holding, but if I buy then into an i s a. Bigger fall today at the moment,than I thought in would be, twice the ftsi % fall.

The last time the dow fell by over 600 was after the brexit vote, but very strong recovery afterwards, so I'm hoping for the same on monday or tuesday. If I did welcome a brief fall it would be in april, the start of the financial year so I can top up my i s a. But I have to sell 30k worth by May to pay off my mortgage, so I'm hoping the sp will be higher then.

char that sounds good, do you have an auto re invest of divi? I don,t & am still waiting for mine. I wish i had bought at 11am, big rise sense then.

Nice 50% recovery today but Vod R N S seems to be playing down any rumours, so I'm just hoping ! Yesterday was for me a very bad day! Good play to any who topped up before the rise, but I think most would not have the got divi in time to do so.
