Looks like Buywell is the kiss of death :)

Tanking in the US

[newbank] 20/5/2019 09:56

Buywell are you trying to short this stock ?

There is talk of NG listing the US business separately. Also, the Interconnector business owners (NG only Have 50%) have said they will challenge any Labour Gov in the International Courts if their ridiculous ideas every come to see the light of day.

My call for this is 700p by the end of 2019

If 700p breaks ... 650p in early 2020

This chart does not look good

650p is a critical level IMO

That goes then its 500p

I moved from Barclays to AJ Bell as Barclays were going to charge me £1500/year.
AJ Bell charge is only £7.50/quarter and excellent service so far.

After reading about Corbyn on Marr on TV this morning. I think NG. shareholders have little to worry about!Prime Minister material.... I don't think so!

ii have decided to up there fees again from june 10th its £9.99 a month up from £22.50 a quarter.

Any recommendations?

Considering going to iweb-sharedealing(Halifax) for a fixed £5 a trade or X-O(Jarvis) for £5.95, neither have monthly, yearly, or inactivity fees like ii...

Yes W-8 form as Uty mentioned, but that's only for 15% of the 30%, the remaining 15% is still deducted.

You can sign up via your broker to avoid 15% divi tax in USA

[bountyhunter] 17/5/2019 08:31

I agree 100% UI and if NG split and relisted there would be an immediate rise in the combined capital value due to reduced political risk, which would more than compensate for the 15% we would have to forfeit on the US dividends.

Catbarley,

What they should do IMO is to List the US business, the Interconnector business and U.K. business separately.

Holding US listed shares is easy and often lucrative. The only issue is having your dividends taxed at source even if it’s in an ISA. The tax is 30% but if you are a Brit living over here by filling in a W-8 BEN form the tax rate is 15%.

The ROE in the US is often higher than the U.K. so I can see the dividends paid from the separated business to be higher pro-rata than to the combined U.K. listed Company.

Then Pettigrew must use Court action using International and EU courts to put the Marxists back in their box if they were to gain power. However, I would go further and sue any Labour Gov for loss of growth, hassle and concern as many PI’s are employees, pensioners and professionals, subsidising salaries, pensions or University fees for off-spring , or general pension provision.

The Labour Party haven’t a clue what they are suggesting, the amount of PI’s and II’s who use income stock like NG to subsidise pensions or in the case of II ( Institutional Investors) where NG income forms part of Group Pensions.

The ramifications of their ( Labour) proposals are really quite extraordinary.

The only reason why Labour have taken this stance is because they are still very bitter about Maggie Privatising the industry in 1990 and how it’s been very successful for everyone including unionised members of staff. They are trying to undo history. Oh how it grates them to know Once Labour voting staff who are part of a union are enjoying the benefits of a capitalistic venture.

Strongly think shud delist usa business and give option to uk investors to sell or hold

[bountyhunter] 16/5/2019 19:31

They won't do it as TM will be replaced by a stronger leader who will beat Corbyn at the next election. The only danger is that Corbyn is replaced by someone more electable. All imho!

[eeza] 16/5/2019 19:14

Well, what they say they're gonna do isn't what they will do.

All politicians porky.

[redartbmud] 16/5/2019 18:40

Be interesting to see what Trump would make of Jeremiah and Johnboy nationalising US assets.

[poikka] 16/5/2019 17:32

Stoopid site!

[poikka] 16/5/2019 17:31

Another consideration is that not all Labour MPs support JC's nationalisation ideology.

Poika clutching at straws.

Wish I could believe that he will never get elected but after holding NG. in my SIPP for a good few years I have sold my holding today not a fortune some 5976 shares, some one is for whatever reason encouraging our MARX brothers to continually keep the idea alive that all will be nationalised whenever they get into power.

And unfortunately there is at this point in time no other party which will get the younger voters attention with his promise of not needing loans to pay for tuition ect and the minimum wage for all young workers .

[wilc42] 16/5/2019 15:09

Buy now or see open sP tomorrow?

[bountyhunter] 16/5/2019 15:05

Very true Gateside. Many young people can see through the Corbyn bribes and know that money doesn't in fact grow on trees as in the Corbyn / McDonell fantasy world.
