for advice on div drop on s.p.
Don't think woolyback is correct on tax on divi on isa. Think that tax is taken before shareholder receives it even in isa. Might be wrong but thats how I understand it. Happy to be corrected though. You are like me though, correct in your asumption that if you sold up, then the s.p would keep rising, have tried it several times and without fail it happened.
Wish I had filled ISA up at 98p on this now, as would have gained over 10% regardless of divi.
I was just concerned that all the flood damage claims would eat into next q profits. So thought I'd wait, no doubt a mistake.
Jamesmag good advice and not heavily into RSA but as stated intending to fill ISA yet left it a bit late. Sadly I am 90% into Lloyds with losses that would have bought a house!
So as you can see advice is appreciated even if it is too late for my lifes savings.
