Best to start a new thread …..as your question has no relevance to my thread which is all about tax and investing.

And with some there has been no choice - but to sell I mean. It did not occur to me that I would ever have to worry about CGs but over the last 3-4 years some companies I held shares in were taken over. There were two CGs
that I expected would take me over the allowance but, fortunately, the gain
on one was at the tail end of one tax year and the other at the beginning of the next. I just took the cash for my Scottish Power shares as various advisers were saying that holding shares in foreign companies could be messy.
But with my Exel shares I opted for more Deutsche Post shares than they were going to allow and have been pleased with the dividends. Sorry, just realised I'm rambling. Like you say, you need to buy good shares to start with. I just had good luck. Scottish Power was a flotation shares and Exel (use to be National Freight Corpn) were £1 share for 1000 to employees.
