Standard Life Shares

I'd at least wait until you get the bonus shares before you sell them. Might as well! The next dividend will probably be paid shortly after that as well.

My wife has just reminded me I could always give them to her [if I wanted them sold this year to avoid CGT since my CGT allowance has been used], probably right there.

That's correct.

In share transfers between spouses the recipient counts the shares for CGT as if she had got them at the same price as her spouse acquired them.

This does not work for transfers to other family members e.g. grandchildren.

They are deemed to have acquired them at current value for future CGT purposes - leaving you to pick up any CGT payable to date.

Up 9p to 349p today, Wednesday.

I think it's hit this sort of level three or four times now, or maybe more when I wasn't paying attention.

I noticed it was up 16 at 356p at one point early this afternoon so it must've dropped later on but going up 9p's still pretty good

Didnt someone say there would be lots of people selling shares around now? I still think most holders realise that they are still undervalued and will hold for a long time yet Forever the optomist

Our company sponsors financial education in Scotland

And it comes in Gaelic :eek: Scots are too sensible to make Gaelic anyone's first language. But it's cost us shareholders to pander to this PC nonsense .

The hoops our board have to jump through to prepare the Scottish Parliament for a bid .

This pandering to the minorities really grates on me. I once went to Wales and they had signs in Welsh. There's probably more Mandarin speaking people in Wales but they don't change thesigns for them.

Not true. Many people in Wales do speak Welsh, but Gaelic has never caught on in Scotland. It has nothing to do with Scottish nationality.

I believe they have changed them for the Poles, you don't need the bus drivers to get lost.

The price seems to be holding up at 332p in advance of Tuesday's 5% share offering.

Apparently this will only be the equivalent of a 3% dilution as it only applies to 60% of the existing shares. And obviously the market makers will have already prepared for this moment, so it might not be wise to sell just now.
