What to do with Santander shares?

thestens · 2010-12-31 17:55:13

Hi. I have 41 Santander shares (formally from Alliance and Leicester). I have been asked if I want to sell them by selling my rights off market and receiving cash. As my yearly dividends are very low, I think this is what I should do. Am I correct here?

You cant take the performance by the share price. Worst they had recently was PPI charges in the UK but the bank is global.
I would opt to pay the UK taxes, you'd be better off waiting on a less fear filled price though. They wont be able to offer you better then market prices imo
