Did i say they're stupid? Some institutions will have rules about where they have to look at locking in profit, and i imagine 50% could well be one of them. They deal in hard numbers.
Not saying all will, but certainly a good chunk will have to review
The usual mob are claiming that £0.5 million isn't enough to be going on with, that there'll be a placing to keep the lights on, and that arbitration is expensive
Secondly it only applies to swiss stock exchange companies.
A cursory google finds : "What is changing as regards tax-free dividends? For Swiss companies not listed on a stock exchange in Switzerland, nothing is changing. These companies can continue to distribute dividends from capital contribution reserves entirely tax-free."
While its nice to see the price rising and for my holding to be well in the blue, its now too high for me to even consider adding more on pension contribution day. I had been hoping to add more.
4kandles - i'm mostly in agreement with you, apart from a sale here meaning i can retire. Sadly too young for that, and most of my holding in my SIPP.
That said a sale of £2 and above would mean a great boost to my income when i do finally retire. Better for me if its a suspension and sale as i have a number of slicing points
