Yes for me only ISA buying and selling, only buying outside of an ISA unless sales can be made without a net gain. Luckily I have a large amount in an ISA to play with

''Capital gains tax, charged on the profits made on the sale of assets, brought in £11.2bn in the first three months of 2025, down from more than £13bn in the same period a year ago''

I have said before, I will not be making net sales of shares outside of an ISA to pay 24% capital gains tax over and over and over again. More tax could be raised with rate reductions that people would be more willing to trigger and pay

''Why do VOD waste all their cash on divs and buybacks? It clearly isn’t working.''

It clearly IS working - shareholders happy to get a bit of cash in their pocket, and share capital reducing each day, equals 'doing what is says on the tin'

''almost like they are keeping it low deliberately !!''

great for share buybacks - still a vast amount of investment in VOD shares still to go

''Every time this passes a new record high (£42 this morning) I think I really ought to sell some & realise a gain''

I realised gains - sold 50% of my purchase of shares at about 320p

and a further 25% at about 612p having purchased at 188p - cannot complain though

''The proposal involves the US offering formal recognition of Russian sovereignty over Crimea and implies de facto recognition of other occupied territories.''

What a farce - disgraceful.

Trump has been shown to be extremely weak against Russia - what warped mind thinks that the invading force of a dictator into a sovereign country should be allowed a land grab to keep forever more.

Such a 'proposal' should be given the appropriate response - the V sign and not the 'victory' version.

Russia needs to be defeated, or else..............

''Anyone know how much Lloyds have bought back in shares''

They have so far bought back about 16.73 Billion share with probably about another 1.7 Billion from now until the end of the current programme.

''and how much more they are going to buy back with the share buy back scheme they introduced?''

??

that will depend on how much money is allocated in future years and the prive that has to be paid for the shares

''all will be well with bt when mr. mittal officially takes charge.''

His company simply took the stake of another company.

Very unlikely he would be allowed to take over BT.

I think you will find that you give a siht - otherwise you would not have commented.

Think before posting.

Cannot see the point of people being here if not being able to see when other investors make a transaction in the stock that you are supposed to be interested in.

Some at a little under 71.5p

FTSE 100 currently due to open flat

Now 2 months in - purchases so far at a low average - excellent .

The purchase and cancellation of 2.43 Billion shares on the reduced spend would be a great result.
