Most likely. To make the Shares ISA more attractive, they will reduce the amount one can save in the Cash ISA.
I do exactly the same as Coronation. reinvest the divi's in the Isa but not in the ord a/c.
Looking at BT's https://www.bt.com/about/investors/financial-reporting-and-news/latest-consensus
It's does look challenging for when the SP will rise, I understand peoples dividend choices is their own, But not why some people get upset and annoyed over other people choice. weird.
and Good luck to you both.
" Pension pot evaporating in front of my eyes, even with good numbers going in every month."
The pension shortfall should be getting topped up by the government after all they guaranteed it.
BT should take them to court to claim future top ups and repay what BT had already put in.
NET Debt ZERO..
Interesting. Aplogies if it's been posted before.

Drahi's reputation is NOT great by all accounts. It may well be his accumulation of shares in BT is deterring other from buying. Many stories in the media over the years show people in general, tarred with the same stick just by association. Banks for instance getting hammard just for allowing a single person doing business through them. companies far more aware of the problems One bank trying to cut loose Nigel Farridge for example. We could be better off if Drahi has to sell up. Drahi - Not the Messiah, but perhaps the Poison Chalice.
Incredible that someone can amass almost 25% of BT without the SP rising, in fact gone down. On that, I'm thinking that even if there was to be a bid for the company, it wouldn't much move the Share price as no one is slightly interested in BT. Unless of course they can buy it for a pound.
I agree with IP. Looking at her background, She will have nothing new to bring to the table. A predictable book worm following what's she's read. Is she in place due to her gender? possible. I remember BT promoting CA's. into Technical officer post C3, then giving them a brush to clean the stores depot. I hope I'm wrong. Not likely though.
Interesting. 75p a KW and a £60 fine for parking on the pavement. Ive never seen a cabinet next to the kerb.
That's a joke. One only has to look at how many BT pensionars are living to a ripe old age. if anyone was going to be affected , you would expect it to be people working with them. The only thing toxic about that article is the author.
BT could make a killing by putting an Adblocker on all streams entering their UK Hubs . Nothing goes through without payment. Why shouldn't they get some of the revenue. eh! £100 Bn company in 2 years.
Nightmare Continues with this company Everytime I phone them they lie to me. Invest at your peril. It's obviously going down the tubes. Won't even be worth 50p soon.
Don't buy any products from this company, it's like trying to get blood from a stone. Been trying for nearly 2 months to get my wifes life insurance settled that she paid for 50 years. Looks like it could be 5o years til I get it. Honestly. they are terrible. Invest at your peril. the only way is down.
Hi Fleccy, I never disputed any points you have made, in fact I said I enjoy what you write.
I had a question which was, Why do UK institutions avoid BT like the plague ?
Always like to read your stuff Fleccy. So much knowledge you must be on the board, getting handout shares that the value doen't seem to bother you. Question: Why do UK institutions Avoid BT like the plague ?
BT will have invested 20Bn on fibre over the last ten years on top of what the company was worth making 45Bn . Yet, it's only worth 13BN now. Imgine buying a house adding extension and conservatory and its worth a 1/3 less after 10 years. Wouldnt be very happy.
I think BT would be better off sinking £2Bn a year on share buyback than putting it into FTTP of which there is No value added to the company.
That's absolutely brilliant. They should have done it years ago, after decades of BT being unfairly treated by the UK governent via their whipping boy OFCOM. BT finally got he 3alls to get their own back. LOL
Drahi's plans are a matter of conjecture. Yet Openreach is regarded as the object of his desires, because it is seen to be hugely undervalued. BT's market capitalisation is £14.75billion
He wouldn't need to have 51% to control BT. Probaly his 24.5% and a few mates with a couple of % , would be enough to control the direction of the company, spinning off Openreach for instance. or even quit the rapid FTTP expansion. There are already major holders who want Openreach spun off. I think it's a good deal for shareholders he's taken such an interest and bad news for the government.
Well Thats my thought for the day. enjoy the weekend.
Are Aviva going Bust That they can't settle a £9,000.00 life insurance claim ? Terrible company.
Tim Creswick. Hasn't a clue. A very stupid man. Ofcom The government's whipping boy has ruined telecoms in the UK. No one else. It's been the parasitic telcos living off the top end of BT's income that has prevented investment that would have FTTP completed by BT 20 years ago.
