Hi
Dragon shares are currently worth 484p each.

If you hold them in paper-certificate form, Im sure you could take them to Barclays to sell.

Regards:)

There's a lot going on with Dragon Oil at the moment...

Before you sell, I suggest you catch up with the news.

Why do so many people pop up on here saying about dragon oil. If it was common knowledge how come I didnt know to buy them


Chart looks like its got more potential of downside then upside, just my guess of course

Good Morning.
I need a little bit of advice.I received Resolution Shares,to replace my Freinds Provident Shares.They are now asking if i would like the Dividend in Cash or in the form of shares.I am not sure which option would be better.I do not know the value of the cash dividend nor do i know what Resolution is like as a company.Any advice would be helpful,as you may gather i am not a expert in these things.

cheers

Resolution's dividend is 2.72p per share to be paid on 28 May. As it stands today the shares are trading at around 80p. Assuming you want to continue holding the company you will have to weigh up whether the cash or shares will give you the better deal.

I don't really know what they are like as a company. They basically aim to profit from acquiring and merging insurers. They have recently been demoted from the FTSE100 and are now in the FTSE250 (the next biggest 250 companies after the top 100). The share price trend has been downwards over the past year but that could reverse.

Thankyou very much for a great answer :T.

At that price for the dividend its not a great gamble to go for shares in my case.I assume i could always change my mind at a later date.

Once again thankyou very much.

sabretoothtigger

Shares were issued at 100, unless you need the money or dislike the company now I'd reinvest

Anyone use iWeb? I've not heard of it before - any reviews?

I'm after a site with no management fees or inactivity fees - currently with Selftrade, which I was happy with until they introduced the management fee!
I'd also like to be able to open an account without having to have a starting balance, e.g. Halifax want a £100 investment.

Thanks in advance!
