Hi Dai. I had to look that up! Told you I was a novice.
No, what happened was..... I dumped some banking shares I'd held for years with little or no reward at all, and used the money to increase my HE1 holding to 100,000 shares, but in doing so I realised I had created my own problem because I did all of this outside an ISA, and the potentially (hopefully) huge gain on HE1 would then create an equally huge CGT problem.
So then I opened an ISA using some savings, purchased another 100,000 HE1 shares within my ISA and now need to offload my original holding to cover the (small) loss created by the buy/sell spread, dealing fees and some other small losses I incurred dumping some other crap stock.
I have probably done this all wrong but it made sense to me and seemed like a good idea at the time!
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Cheers, Pat.
