Sat has posted a useful list here: http://uk.advfn.com/cmn/fbb/thread.php3?id=17913101 Can't personally vouch for the veracity of all of this but is probably reliable info ATB

This was posted on general chat on lse by a poster called protean in December "There's a thread on ADVFN with a decent list of shares without Stamp Duty. http://uk.advfn.com/cmn/fbb/thread.php3?id=27239794 Haven't checked it out yet. Sometimes my broker offers reduced commission rates as well which I try to take advantage of if I can. With dgo, I pay .5% stamp duty to Britain and .5% to Ireland and there is a bit of a rigmarole to reclaim Irish stamp duty on divis but can still be worth it all if caught the shares at the right price which is also applies here. ATB

for Oriel Securities though and many others who rate as a buy http://sharedealing.nandp.co.uk/broker-views/DGE/Diageo

here which I suppose is something when you have to pay double stamp duty at the likes of Dgo. ATB

Sector focus now on ENRC?

Nomura's raises it price target from 1850p to 1950p. Target exceeded Normura as current share price is 2021!

Henderson's were apparently accumulating hmv shares before their interims and Christmas though they have done rather well here getting some at 10p last January. Sid bg's been swinging about a bit today eh? Tell Mrs. Sid, I'm still buying the choc fountains with the fudge and marshmallow and the latest favourite is the pink smile lollies made with white choc and strawberry powder. ATB to all long termers here.

than first thing this morning. That's for sure!

are a bit pointless unless they have a timescale attached to them is the conclusion I've reached.

Does he not post on LSE? What a pity!

LOL little typo in the last post which makes all the difference to its interpretation. The sentence third from the last should have read: though we are less dismissive of your post on Monday which said that £37 was on the cards, in the very near future, we DISAGREED and had fun taking a little profit on our bets. From your post last night, it looks like you have given up on the £37 in the immediate future though I am not too clear on whether you are back to saying it will become a buy at £29 or £30.ATB

Good morning. My apologies for the tardiness of my reply to your post at 21:00 hours last night.. I am a Scot who was celebrating Burns's Night and the Murray victory last night rather than reading share chat sites or bothering to check how Rio finished on the NYSE. Neither my husband nor I are traders: we are personal investors who have busy jobs which don't involve shares. We don't have the interest or the time to monitor share price all or even every day. The best we can hope for is to buy a decent share like rio which pays a good divi and hope that we have bought in at the right price for there to be some good capital growth over the "longer" term. All conventional wisdom still indicates that that will result in bigger gains for the likes of us rather than to try to trade all the dips when we are not around share pirces all of the time anyway and can't be fussed to set trading plans unless perhaps we are going on a very long holiday. Occasionally, a stinker will enter the port folio and management skeletons will fall out the cupboard resulting in a divi being axed etc. and the two options are to sell up or attempt to trade the spikes in the hope of breaking even or reaching profit. Rio is like most shares. Its price reacts to news or lack thereof. The biggest battle is for the pi to endeavour how seemingly good or bad news will be received by the market. Sometimes it is easy to predict that there will be a knee jerk reaction to headlines like those here on the morning of 17 January that the CEO was to step down and the write downs. Hence nottspie's "Ouch" post and the share losing a few percentage points but still not revisiting anything like the 29p. It is harder though to predict that once the headlines were fully digested that the share price would regain a lot of lost ground that very afternoon. All that said, we do keep some funds for the odd short term trade or punt - call it what you will. It's all good fun and not something we take too seriously. We disagreed with your post on 17 January that said this would only become a buy when it goes back to £30.00-£29.00 support and had a couple of little goes in the £33/34/35 ranges which proved to be quite fruitful. Though we are less dismissive of your post on Monday which said that £37 was on the cards, in the very near future we agreed and had fun taking a little profit on our bets for want of a better word so we may have found a little common ground. As for the indices being high at the moment, nobody out there would disagree. Best dash want to wave my son off on a school skiing trip. Good luck.

Only been following this share again closely for a few weeks and the price seems to have done the opposite twice to the technical analysis comments on here LOL

Thank you for that information. It's good to know these things and I'll recommend your post for that. I used to read a lot of TA posts on the lse bbs from a poster called keyvan and I suspected that what he was writing was not from his own pen and then one day I stumbled upon the fact that he was lifting the information from the London Stock Exchange site. ATB

I know I have asked you before a few times on different bbs for the source of these pros and cons posts you do and you have never given me a reply. Do you write them yourself and /or are you employed by a company which compiles them. If jange doesn't reply but anybody else has a source then could you please enlighten me thanks.

I got the interim dividend here and sold some time in the early autumn I think. I had a few tranches and have had a few since. Too tired to check back the dates for you. I'm afraid even the prospect of watching the Australian Open all night on the box will not be enough to keep me awake to chat with Billy bean on the nightshift or levis should they turn up. It is my husband who has the enduring interest in rio but it is not permissible for us both to have separate lse accounts. A bit silly in this day and age I know! That is not to say that I will not have another go or goes in here myself. Goodnight

Rio Tinto iron ore output tops 2012 guidance at record 253 mln T Top marks to LSE for having news stories on all of this, I don't usually find as much news without having to dig about for it in respect of othe shares . It will probably get lost though on the news button so thought it better to highlight on the bb SYDNEY, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Rio Tinto said on Tuesday its iron ore production beat its own guid ance to hit 253 million tonnes in 2012, as the miner cashes in on resurgent Chinese demand that has driven up prices in recent months. 'This was another year of strong operational performance across the group,' Rio Tinto Chief Executive Tom Albanese said in the company's fourth-quarter production report. 'Markets remain volatile, but our business continues to perform well,' Albanese said. Rio Tinto, the second-biggest producer behind Brazil's Vale , had set a target of 250 million tonnes in 2012, up from 244.6 million in 2011. Iron ore prices have soared more than 80 percent since September as Chinese steel mills -- the single biggest buyers of seaborne-traded ore -- returned to the market on signs of a recovery in the Chinese economy. Benchmark prices hit a 15-month high of $158.50 a tonne last week, as China's iron ore imports topped 70 million tonnes for the first time in December helped by a resurgent economy and a cold snap that cut local production. Rio Tinto also said its aluminium division produced 10 percent less primary metal in 2012 versus 2011 due to a labour dispute. The company said it would also make a decision later this month on whether to mothball the Gove alumina refinery in Australia. http://www.lse.co.uk/ShareNews.asp?shareprice=RIO&ArticleCode=5n0gama4o83p8j9&ArticleHeadline=Rio_Tinto_iron_ore_output_tops_2012_guidance_at_record_253_mln_T
