@gwm121: think Big Bad is referring to this Bond - Guaranteed Income Bonds (link below).

I think you right John27.

Should get a response on Tuesday when they turn the AI bots back on hahaha!

@Abjectperformer: Then why did he turn his nose up at the benefits in 2019-2020 and 2021?

@AbjectPerformer : Probably most if not all of them to be tax efficient - as any high rate tax payer is only allowed £1000 allowance in dividends. Anything after that is taxable.

Also it is to be cut to £500 earnings in dividends in 2024/2025 after which is taxable.

Also, why would PJ care about £1800 Directshare for 2023 - other than tax efficiency - which is negligible to someone who earns 6-7 figures.

What are you talking about Mapp? How come you ask questions to answer yourself?

Is this the discussion board for Natwest?

Spot on Nolo and Robleo! Entry points and whether you in for short - middle - long term. Each of those terms will make the ‘investor’ either look like a mug or genius - depending on which term holder you are.

@Dazgard123 - Depends on how much you put down (and how much shares you have) for it be down way more than the Divi covers. If you hold a small amount then of course it will be down more than the divis. Same as any other stock. Unless it pays a 100% yield - which is rare or never.

DYOR people and only buy what you know not what you or what a poster thinks.

Only requires a 8-10% drop on any bad news or external variable, and 200p is there - only thing is hope the entry point is at/near to bottom as possible and wait for recovery / uptrend whilst picking up divis :)

No doubt Nicknaim - mine was based on the Divi impact at start of open and was shy of 1 point lol!

(´･◡･`)

It will be a 2.6% drop at the open - so should start at 214-215p for XD.

That’s true Aus3009 - but it’s only £20K per annum (and worse if that amount reduces).

I also fear you’re right as well Bertrum…..only a matter of time….

@Bertram - I agree Bertram - the tax on Divis is the kick in the teeth for the 2nd bite of the cherry, with the kick in the balls for the lucky triple is taxing over £500 for BR tax payers or £1000 in interest for HR Tax Payers and no relief after for super high earners. Either ways Gov is gonna get theirs and some more of the working (wo)man.

@Ianfm: You have a link or when you got that info. regarding managers getting 5.5% for those who didnt take £1500.

As I thought the £1500 was only paid to those earning less than £50,000 - which I assume (but stand to be corrected if you or anyone knows ) is a few/alot of managers in BT dont earn that (as I have been told engineers earn than their manager’s at the firm) - so they should receive the £1500 (except the manager’s that earn over £50K ofc.)

As same as Biskit - I have not seen or read anything about manager’s getting 5.5% base.

It was highly unlikely the RNS was going to be positive.

Feel sorry for those who bought in when it was pumped up to 210+ in such short time recently.

@Avocet123 - Hahahah that would be crazy, but think if that was to happen - then you know it would be WW3, and no stocks or shares anywhere will be worth anything or even be a priority.

@Porsche1946 - What you complaining about? You’re a shorter anyway are you not? So you’re supposedly making good money from all the shares dropping right?

As you like going on all the different shares spouting how UK/FTSE100 is Terminal, and people should be investing in US shares etc.

Give it a rest bud - as seeing your profile name pop up on the different shares chatting the same spiel cant be good for your keyboard/mobile fingers.

Who cares

@PSK: As you aware(or not) the percentages show the open orders.

The 3% drop is those selling the actual asset (the stock) which outstripped the actual stock buys yesterday hence the drop.

@Dinoken : Definitely dont listen to Motley - they’re called the Fool for a reason - and definitely not a reliable source to research stocks from.

@PSK:

Just checked, IG - shows 4% have short positions and 96% have long positions - and that was as of last hour of trading.

Just use iWeb - no monthly fees and cost much less than many investment platforms esp. Interactive Investor.

Cheers Ash11 :)

That’s not good and rather worrying esp. when a Billionaire states “At whatever it takes”.

Fasten seat belts.
