Charles Jillings, CEO of Utilico, energized by strong economic momentum across Latin America. Watch the video here.
Thank you Agami,
I wasn't aware of the ISA flexibility rules, but on reading about it further, it seems that the flexibility is set by the provider, not necessarily by Government, so needs checking the small print.
This is from the Money Saving Expert site (relates mainly to cash ISA's so stocks and share ISA providers may be more 'with it':
Providers that do offer flexible ISAs:
Aldermore, Bank of Scotland (variable ISAs only), Barclays, Clydesdale Bank/Yorkshire Bank (Flexi Cash ISA only), Coventry Building Society (Easy-access ISA only), Ford Money, Halifax (ISA Variable Saver only), Lloyds, Metro Bank (Instant Access Cash ISA only), Nationwide, Newcastle BS, Paragon Bank, Principality BS (variable ISAs only), Skipton BS, Tesco (Instant Access Cash ISA only), TSB and Virgin Money (easy-access ISAs only).
Provides that do NOT offer flexible ISAs:
Britannia, Charter Savings Bank, Co-op bank, First Direct, HSBC, Kent Reliance, Leeds BS, NatWest, NS&I, Post Office, RBS, Sainsbury's Bank, Santander and Shawbrook Bank.
The posters here seem to mainly fall into 3 camps:
1. those who buy the shares, reinvest the dividends and forget
2. those who trade the shares, particularly around the ex-dividend dates
3. those who think we're insane to own either Lgen or any other UK share for that matter because the US /small caps /, is the way to go.
Each to their own, and if someone does it different to you then learn from it, but don't decry it in derogatory attacks (yes, you, the 3.'s, I'm particularly talking about you, as you add zero to the debate!)
Lgen is a great share and has been tremendously reliable.
Like many, I also hold Phnx, Av. Mng and, more recently, Csn.
Against these, I am underweight in Lgen, mainly due to caution as to how the relatively new CEO will bed in - i.e. whether he will significantly change strategy, kitchen sinks anything, overpay for other companies, etc.
Good one Clued
I've previously told these types that I work for Trading Standards so will be very interested in taking their details and how they came across my details and my consent, so that i can check them out. The line usually goes dead but hopefully not before I'm deleted or flagged on their database.
? I doubt that Aviva will be the slightest bit interested and there is very little that they can do.
It would be better in terms of protecting others if you report it to Action Fraud and also the Fnancial Conduct Authority (although almost certainly the company is based overseas so they won't be able to do anything)
Ffs! It's obviously a scam.
I'd be more worried that this boiler house operation has your details, and if you gave them any of your time, you're now on their suckers list which will result in more calls and scam money making schemes.
IMO what's more likely to do for overseas bids of UK companies is the expected change of government later this year.
It will be easy win for Labour to impose additional measures (job security promises?) and /or taxes on overseas raiders.
The UK is 'on sale' at the moment, and even more so when the timing and speed of interest rate declines are better known, but bidders will want to see their purchases completed or at least agreed prior to an election result.
This means that the next 2-3 months will be critical for anyone eyeing up UK bargains /opportunities - DLG included.
Porch 'can pretty much guarantee this will end up sub a quid'
No, no you can't
On the other hand, I can pretty much guarantee that the vast majority of what you spout here and on other threads ought to be added to Mary's Bu115hit ometer :-)
Dlg is still for sale, it's just that any other interested parties now know the bottom line of their bid, if they're to be taken seriously.
Why would other parties wait for the new guy to do the work and take all the spoils?
And not forgetting that the Aegas offer will still include an element of their shares to allow those DLG holders who believe it can recover from here to benefit from that improvement.
It would be interesting to see how many of the DLG shareholders who bleat on about jam tomorrow will take up Aegas stock to share in that jam, or whether they will cash out and sell in the market.
Maybe not directly comparable to DLG, but seemingly very good results from Sabre this morning including a special dividend on the back of 'very strong market-wide price correction' and driven mainly by 47.5 per cent premium growth in its motor vehicle product.
I wonder if DLG will be similar or if they still have their foot in their mouth ?
