The rights issue caused the pre-RI share price to be diluted by 77% as you can buy an additional 10 shares for each 3 shares you owned. So at 270p (in your example) pre-RI, it would equate to 62p today.

On the contrary, we've got a 30% reduction in premium when it comes to renewal this Aug from existing insurer DLG for the same comprehensive cover. The renewal quote was £268 down from £385. When we call to add a 2nd vehicle, it is further reduced to £245. So 36% reduction this year. Thought it was down to new regulation where they can't fleece off existing customers to benefit new customers.

Yes just checked, divi is in my halifax account although the amount is not showing as dividend payment. Thanks.

Nothing from Halifax Share Dealing as well

Managed to buy a small lot at 189p so divi yield of nearly 12%. At this rate beating inflation, can't be happier for a long hold.

China can't be locked down forever and the Chinese will spend, spend and spend. They love the Burberry brand. A bit of patience will pay off.

If my pilot friend are buying BA shares, I'm buying too

A pilot friend who works at BA told me for next 3 quarters, they will be in profits not losses...He is getting busy flying and his flights are pretty full. So I took his advice and bought more at £1.043, on top of my existing holding.

Though demand is higher, this time round it is different than pre-covid as oil price is increasing and ex-staff not willing to come back into the workforce. Airlines and airports are trying to hire back staff with lesser pay and benefits. Lots of workers have gone into early retirement or moved into other sectors where there are better pay. even those new hires need to be trained and this takes time. Not to mention all the compensation for the cancelled flights, some of which are beyond BA's control e.g. strikes by aviation staff in other countries e.g. Italy.

Its good to see BATS increasing the volume of shares it purchased over the past month, driving share price upwards.

Ukraine will need steel to rebuild it's cities bombed by the Russians. Fxpo will be in a good position to provide the raw materials IMHO.

Growth in lower risk products and a potential share buy back are driving share price up...

He is a finance director so he knows the numbers well.

In our experience before Covid, Aldi wins price down but the whole shopping experience was rather poor during busy hours. It can be frustrating to sort out any payment issue as it happened to me a few times where the cashier was scanning so quickly that some products were scanned twice (steak!). Luckily I'm a careful shopper and checked my receipt. Having no customer service counter in Aldi meant I've got to re-queue to get a refund. This is not good for customers with children in tow or those rushing for time.

Hi Gunner,
If you want to move your Tesco shares into a stocks and shares ISA, your £50k investment would need to be moved across 3 tax years as you are allowed only £20k tax free ISA allowance each tax year (from 6th Apr to 5th Apr following year).

The link below provides an explanation from AJ Bell on how its Bed and ISA works. Effectively you are selling your shares and buying them back into the ISA account. You will only be able to buy investments in your ISA up to the value of your unused ISA allowance for this tax year
https://www.youinvest.co.uk/isa/bed-and-isa#:~:text=What%20is%20a%20bed%20and%20ISA%3F%20A%20bed,so%20there%20is%20less%20exposure%20to%20market%20movement.

Another thing to note is, you may be realising gains/profits on selling your Tesco shares so there may be capital gains tax to pay. The first £12300 gains/profits are tax free for this tax year. But it depends on how you acquire the shares in the first place (via Share Incentive Plan SIP, Save As You Earn SAYE) and how long you have kept the shares in your name.

The below article gives a good explanation on Capital Gains tax

Hope the above helps.

If share price remains the same after consolidation, those on SAYE able to buy the shares at the SAYE option price e.g. Dava at £1.51 would benefit from the normal dividend as dividend yield % will increase due to less no. of shares in the market. So instead of ~4% yield, it's more like ~5% yield after consolidation. Of course this assumes that the total normal divi amount the company pays out stays the same. There may be a clause in SAYE saying the option price is prior to any consolidation, and option price may change after consolidation, better check this out.

In simple terms, if share consolidation happens to retain the same share price after the special dividend is paid out, for every 100 shares you owned before you will get 78.89 of new shares after consolidation. Special divi is 51p/241 = 21.1% of current share price, so the same ratio to apply for share consolidation. However in real life, it's not that easy. It all depends on how many people are still happy to hold onto the shares after the divi and consolidation. I'm happy to hold for long term for the decent dividend at 4% it's good enough for me.

Hi gunner48, is it automatic reinvestment of dividend? Who do I need to contact to switch to cash dividend? Is it the trading platform provider with whom the share dealing account is with e.g. Barclays share dealing?

In the meanwhile, production crew are getting tested and coming together to produce great films again. They need to fly to go to get to location filming.
