You an sell them on Thursday and keep the dividend. However, usually the share price will have dropped by the same amount as the dividend at market opening.

[eeza] 09/4/2019 08:19

[ramellous] 09/4/2019 08:13

You have to do it BEFORE Thursday to have divi paid into isa.

[nico9] 09/4/2019 08:09

Many Thanks.
Yes i do own them and do have an online account so I can do both me and the Mrs (her account) on or after Thursday into out ISA's and get that part of Divi paid into Isa account
Thanks again. N

You have to own the shares by close of day tomorrow in order to get the dividend, it goes ex divi on Thursday and you need to own them the day before. So it depends how long your broker takes to do the transfer. If you have an online account it might be better to do it yourself and pay both dealing charges but has to be done by tomorrow afternoon.

[nico9] 09/4/2019 06:48

Sorry to ask, but what date can we Bed and ISA shares and still receive Divi? TIA

Chinese Investor, perhaps our paths crossed at some point.
I worked for Rediffusion Computers (previously known as Redifon and afterwards as ROCC)from about 1978 to 1984. Our office was one of the two 7-floor office blocks in Wythenshawe centre - top floor. The other identical block housed Shell. My branch morphed into the "Shell" branch at Rediffusion. Three of us; sales manager and me and the other tech/sales guy. We supplied the data entry front-end-processors to the IBM's whose heads perhaps crashed. Happy days.

I have to agree , especially when there are alternatives with same divi yield. However, I remain long and bullish on SLA with a 5 figure investment running on this.

[topvest] 07/4/2019 13:11

On SLA I'm thinking of doubling-up, but would like a bit more evidence of recovery first. The net outflows for every single one of their product lines is desperately disappointing. I try not to double-up on losers, and wait for a golden cross chart signal before doing so.

I still like to receive hard copy annual reports. Call me a luddite! Keep PDF copies as well. Half my garage is used as a storage area, but I have 320 company holdings, so I have to take them to a recycling point every 6m or so, just keeping favourites. I am officially Royal Mail's most profitable customer in my village, and probably town...LOL!

I remember dan dare airlines. Funny how many were household names but are nowhere to be seen.

I keep my acccounts on my hard drive and a copy on my google drive. I log overall valuations once a month (ie value of my isa’s) but I don’t store individual shares or trusts. Just too much work for little practical reason.

Shell Mex & BP Wythenshawe 1975 - One memorable morning the log made a riveting read - the overnight freelance computer operator wrote that the main data "portable" storage unit had made a noise so he was unable to do any work.
He added helpfully that he tried other data "portable" storage units (yup all of the back up ones as well) and they too had made the same noise.
In fact he had tried them all !

Is "head crash" one or two words ?

edmundshaw: I should. Crackin' place.
ramellous: Print screen is a decent fall-back but Mozilla Firefox is not the best browser for that task. "Adapt and Overcome"? My software systems never required that of my users. They asked - they got. I found that was the key to success - something SLA needs to heed, and quickly as my "adapt" is to consider an alternate pension provider and therein lies the problem for SLA in the bigger picture; loss of AUM.
Dr Biotech: as a retired software developer who missed-out on the "cloud" (too old) I have a dislike of anything hardware/software wise that I CANNOT fully control.

A classic case arose about four years ago with a long-standing user of mine (25 years they've used my EPOS systems). They moved premises and installed Sage "in the cloud". The installer could not provide me with one benefit for the customer.

Next working day my systems were fully operational and the cash & carry working fine. Sage wasn't. The internet connection failed and it took four days to fix. During that time the company had NO access to their accounts.

Back in about 1977/1978 I was involved in an accounting system at a large shipping company based in Liverpool. No "Cloud" of course - visible card accounting system with 8inch floppy memory facility. Even THAT failed as the one and only copy of their disks were destroyed one day when the data entry lady spilled her black, very sweet coffee over most of those disks.

Best system I EVER saw? Dan-Air - airline of old. Installing a swish, very expensive (very large) computer in the summer of 1977 to replace the wall-mounted, magnetic boards they used at that time to schedule the 'plane activities and routings. Yards and yards of this "ribbed" metal tracking for the 20-30 'planes in the fleet. We arrived one morning to see the cleaners had knocked a large section of magnetic strips onto the floor - this represented the aircraft movements for several weeks.

No problem.

One guy each night before leaving took several "Instamatic" pictures of the metal boards and within five minutes had re-attached the magnetic representations of the aircraft.

That's "adapt and overcome".

Nice to reminisce - apologies if I bored you all but it's a slack Sunday :-)

Why would you want to print them? Do you really keep a hard copy?

I track all my investments online and keep a record in the cloud. I haven’t felt the need to print anything since I started about 25 years ago.

[ramellous] 07/4/2019 02:26

You could try print screen function? Or screenshot and then print.. Like Gunny Highway says... Adapt and overcome....

[edmundshaw] 06/4/2019 22:26

MC, you should have stayed in Mauritius.

[mcunliffe1] 06/4/2019 16:46

I've just returned to the UK from a very pleasant break in Mauritius. Laid-back and chilled-out a treat.

Until, on this day, the first day of the financial year I decided to login to my pension account at S.L. to value my holdings. Now, this is not a simple affair - as with most other companies I deal with - I must examine each policy and write down the values on paper. Yep - write them down. The S.L. don't provide a print function you see. Told 'em about it numerous times - not interested, couldn't give a toss.

Today they excel themselves. They cannot even identify the different amounts I hold in their With Profit funds and their Managed and Equity Funds. Some parts (the W.P.) carry a 4% p.a. growth guarantee. So, knowing the amounts in the various holdings is kinda important.

Not to them it isn't

They are a complete set of nobs - I may have misspelled that - you get the drift though.

Expect these to reach about 291 by Wednesday and then fall back to around 260 by month end relative to a flat FTSE100.
