got stopped out - why the huge drop yesterday?

[v11slr] 06/6/2014 10:14

Good, I haven't made the wrong decision then. :-)

[jonwig] 06/6/2014 10:09

V11 - you get 70p either way.

[v11slr] 06/6/2014 09:47

jonwig - not quite. There's a 10% tax deduction on dividends in an ISA that is not reclaimable, that's the reason I've gone for the return of capital option.

[jonwig] 06/6/2014 09:30

latifs -

In an ISA or SIPP, it doesn't matter. Outside an ISA:

If you choose B shares you have a potential capital gains tax bill, depending on your total CGT situation for the year,

If you choose C shares you'll be paid a dividend in the normal way - ie. no extra tax to pay if you're a basic rate taxpayer.

A higher rate taxpayer who hasn't used up his CGT allowance would choose B shares.

what option do i tick, b or c for the dividend of 70p. tia

[bigbertie] 05/6/2014 10:55

yes, but why? xd is Wednesday am for nearly all shares. Is it something to do with there being a capital return option?

[stevie blunder] 05/6/2014 10:54

Mmm Bit strange this one. Record date is 4th June:

4 June 2014 Record date for B and/or C share entitlement



Payment depends on Crest register at 6:00 on the 4th.

But record date is not normally the same as the ex date, so I am confused.


EDIT Thanks for clearing up my confusion V11SLR

[v11slr] 05/6/2014 10:51

Maybe because it's not a dividend per se? Usually ex on a Wednesday

"The record date is 6.00 p.m. on 4 June 2014 and the shares trade ex-entitlement from 8.00 a.m. on 5 June 2014."

[bigbertie] 05/6/2014 10:48

actually 6pm yesterday so after mkt closed. I'm not sure why they do that.

[bigbertie] 05/6/2014 10:20

Lloyds have tightened mortgage lending & other banks to follow, Cameron has cut back on Help to Buy, BoE interest rates wi expected to rise in next 6 months, London property market has topped out with prices no-one will now pay. First-time buyers are priced out of the market countrywide. So the only card left to play now is to stimulate supply, otherwise the UK housing market has had it. What will Cameron do to increase supply? Expect some significant Govt incentives for the housebuilders to build more first-time buyer houses - fast....(ie: before the next election methinks).

Persimmon build the worst timber frame house going when the heating is turn on the wood drys out and twist more than Chubb checker I would say that most of the build is at least 20 mm out of plumb I could go on on about this company's wonder how the share price is so high when better house builder share are low

[charlotteandcressida] 17/3/2014 08:43

with a very healthy dividend stream and the stated intention to extend the help to buy scheme (see part article below from the Telegraph) the share is definitely for income seekers: -

'The equity loan-based Help to Buy scheme has so far helped more than 25,000 households to buy their own home. The Chancellor is extending the scheme and the subsidy until 2020 to enable an estimated 120,000 buyers of newly-built homes to qualify for a loan of up to 20pc, and has left the terms of the more controversial mortgage guarantee scheme for banks lending to buyers with small deposits unchanged.'

Have topped up following the Credit Suisse downgrade, now looking oversold to me - 75p dividend this year so share currently yielding 5.75% (price at 1341.00) and trading prospects looking very good - no brainer for income seekers...

[charlotteandcressida] 25/2/2014 07:32

Excellent results with the anticipated payment under the capital repayment plan accelerated into 2014 plus further dividend additions going forward...

...at least £5.20 in dividends to be paid by July 2021, at current growth rates I expect that amount to be surpassed plus I would expect to see the payment schedule shortened yet again to possibly/hopefully 2019/20 increasing the yield even further...one to hold/buy and lock away in an ISA...

from 1102 reached target, time to look elsewhere
for bigger % gains, psn from 5.50 to nearly 14.50 in eighteen months
risks buying in at this level, even though the housing market is strong the
rises are to far to fast, and will cripple the workerbees with corresponding
rent rises, inflation will return as shortages push skilled wages up
a 5k rise plus a company car seems to be the going rate to keep staff
IT company offering 11k rise on 34k wage recently to save all the hassle
of re-advertising and training up a new employee,
edit
20/2 todays telegragh Osbourne says,"economy not yet secure"
last wk he was throwing petrol on the fire saying
"house prices will rise for the next ten yrs"
the SVRate nearly 5% now could be 6/7% within two yrs
the political spin will be "we have to help savers"
base rate should rise now to contain "real" inflation
mon press, the consequences in the mid 2000's of the fed holding rates to
long at 1% and then pushing to 5% to quickly, carney seems to have to big
a grip on mpc vote, buy to let landlords who bought in from 07 may have got a good mortgage deal but many in negative equity, builders who bought plots
from 06 have yet to get money back on plots bought at top of cycle

Strong results as expected. Good future promise.
