My mistake.

PereG - x divi 12.5p.

Hottentot, which site have the Golden Ocean mob commandeere?

Thanks Optimus, GS & Hott, all duly noted. Drip feed for 6 - 12 months might be a good policy.

Thanks for that Hott. I just need to start mapping out an income stream and slow down with my main business, 45 years at it now and with a recently acquired granddaughter things need to change. TBH I'm expecting a bit of a sell off closer to polling day so might pick something up on the dip. Already have AV & NG at 5.8% divi so plenty of room to top up, although ESUR would be good it would make me top heavy with insurance - unless I swap them of-course. I also hold PHP (6% divi) but that seems to be at the top for the moment. Unfortunately though I have too many AIM shares needing to avg down in order to escape lol.

Hi, Just tucked a wedge into my SIPP and looking for 3 or 4 divi shares, are there any contenders standing out atm. Nice cosy ones like HSBC or NG etc. Bit reluctant to stash it all away into a fund and lose a chunk in fees. All thoughts are appreciated.

If you want to sell before divi date you might want to consider selling before the 8th.

Main market doing a heavy retrace / correction isn't helping AV. Would the BOD have kept their powder dry if some pratt hadn't leaked the info. I hope the BOD haven't seriously miscalculated and compromised a winning strategy, remember we are still in recovery and things can go wrong very easily. Northern Rock got over exuberant with their grandiose ideas - look what happened to them.

Anyone with some info on the divi withholding tax. I have some BNC shares in the HL ISA a/c and would like to work out exactly what I'm losing off my gross divi payment. Also, when I sell them I presume HL being nominee's sort out the notifications to Spanish tax dept.

Well, well. And there we have it. Raises head to left with smug face.

Go to share charts above, bring up 5 year chart, might help you if you're an investor. For me the only thing to watch out for is interest rates on the NG debt pile.

5% up in 15 days and 5.9% divi. Bottom drawer. Probably flat-line until Euro disintegrates but might get to 360p. I agree, boring.

Just need to find a home for £2k sitting in my son's retirement plan (only 26). Thought about BNC after the recent drop but SP seem a bit warmer today. Looks like we may be able to take shares instead of the cash divi next year - not sure if that would be a way around the withholding tax though or even if HL would facilitate it. Did ok with the SMT on the recent dip just wished I'd chucked it all in. Just mulling thing over hope you don't mind.

All posters seem to be keeping very quite ATM, possibly selling up before commenting judging by the red trades list. Presumably traders see this as 'over bought' and we will all be off down the snake again, ho hum roll on 560p or 585p. Morning Armarni..

Much appreciate your VHO, think I will hang about for a while and sound things out. Might have a taste of BRIT, will keep watch, possibly top up with AV if a decent retrace into mid to low 490's occurs. No rush tho.

I'm just thinking of building a holding in BATS for my sons pension, probably between £1k - £2k every 6 months or so, but inside an ISA rather than SIPP although he currently has both vehicles atm, not big numbers though. My question - is there a clear up-down buying trend or just buy and hold, he's only 26 so tons of time. He also has some AV and a Marlborough Multi-Cap income Fund. Thnks in advance.

The old Cazenove UK Smaller Co A fund now Schroders UK Dynamic, this was doing great until recently any one know what's gone on there with the recent fall from grace? Thanks in advance.

Some seriously large trades popping up after hours, anyone got a take on who may be having a top up. Are those sells buys? Just interested.

Thanks for that Hottentot. My main holding is avg 300p so not concerned about a great deal atm. Wife's is 296p - aah! those were the days, lol

Make that 10p
