Yes. I suspect we'll get a positive read tomorrow.

whatsup32 where does it say that, last I heard Biden was no negotiations and Putin is between a rock and a hard place and cannot se him trying to talk peace

[whatsup32] 07/11/2022 11:17

USA is pushing for negotiations with Russia over Ukraine, if an agreement is reached will have a massive effect on markets and inflation

[whatsup32] 06/11/2022 16:27

A nice finish for Av. Friday , with results coming up and USA closing nicely it should be a positive week

[spud] 04/11/2022 20:48

A nice close by our American friends bodes well for Monday. Just Russia & China to sort and we'll be set fair!spud

My mistake. I was merely bemoaning the fact that pensions were taxed. Should never have posted non AV content. Let's move it on. spud

What spud wants is to tax the poor when they need help the most the nhs is on its knees health and social care broken education in the toilet the list goes on. It’s not taxing those benefits that spud suggests or cutting them that’s going to solve the problem. A social care levy has to be introduced a rise in income tax and vat allowances on dividends and savings abolished etc its time to get real because when you have that heart attack do you want that ambulance turning up straight away or tomorrow at the earliest.

Anybody watch question time last night! Lord Rose told it how it is we’re very sick we all need to take some medicine it’s not going to taste very nice but if we don’t take it now then we’re going to get a lot sicker.

spud - to tax anything on an individual that would bring in worthwhile tax revenues that individual would have to be a tax payer - and ideally a higher rate payer. But I am sure that you know that. Thx anyway for the list.

Turning to Aviva considering two scenarios for income:
- writing put options at a low strike to reduce risk (tax free income to me).
- buying Aviva Prefs with their current high yields (dividends are taxable to me).

Have some nervousness about the current/upcoming recession and what it could do to the share price and also what the coming budget could do to dividends?

Your views appreciated. May be a moment to wait a couple of weeks?

~2p spike isn't a big spike, lol

[warranty] 04/11/2022 11:23

Big spike up just now, anybody any ideas why?

[alphorn] 04/11/2022 11:19

spud - can you please expand how benefits are not taxed.

[1robbob] 04/11/2022 09:39

It is a myth
Thsnks to Gordon Brown. Dividends are NOT tax free within an ISA or Pension Fund.
The Company paying the divi has already paid Corporation Tax on the amount of the dividend
Prior ti GB divis were paid from pre tax profits and thus were genuinely tax free

[spud] 04/11/2022 08:39

Yes. Re-reading it, it came over ambiguously and I had to edit slightly. Fwiw, I'm only 6 years off eligibility.spud

[dope007] 04/11/2022 08:27

It didn't come across like that Spud hence I misinterpreted

[spud] 04/11/2022 08:24

That's my point exactly! Why are pensions taxed when benefits aren't! spud
