If i was to make say make 0-£4000 in profit, do i need to pay income tax on that profit.

From what i read so far:

1. We pay Capital Gains tax on any profits exceeding £10,100
2. We pay income tax on Dividends (but for basic rate tax payers, that is already calculated and we don't need to do anything)

what about income tax - do we pay any income tax?

P.S: Im not using a ISA share share account. Im just using a normal one from natweststockbrokers

There's no income, or any other, tax on capital gains, just CGT if your gains exceed the allowance of £10.1k.

If you plan to keep adding to your holdings over a period of years, it might be worthwhile asking NatWest about a Stocks & Shares ISA; it might, in the long term, pay you better than the current crop of Cash ISAs.

Is this the main board to talk about shares? Does it not have its own area, just the one thread?

What does anyone think about the drilling activity in the Falkland Islands?

I'm in all but Argos and FOGL, already up ~60% in 5 months. There's great feeeling about the north basin.

How do you folks keep up with the news that tends to lead to a share price increase?

I've had a few instances recently where I've seen mention of company ABC taking over XYZ, and have immediately thought that XYZ might be a good punt - I dive away to see what the price is like, and find a steep growth curve a couple of days prior, leaving me with that 'missed the boat' feeling, and the feeling that somebody has access to the news before I do......

Where's the best place to tap into the hot news?

The news often explains the chart. Often if a company has good results, people were already expecting this. You are right, this is how it always seems to happen and the only way really is to take the good with the bad.
Some people buy on bad news for this reason, its often over done in the same way and so longer term the company is doing great but sold slightly less in the quarter, etc You can only buy when other people sell and they have a reason to

You cant beat the city guys really, they are always there first but you can benefit from their mistakes or mis-comprehension of a situation. So what do you know best

Stocks and shares world.With subprime mortgage crisis management company's stock hot potato, and many people turn to investment management company, to help them choose the best time to buy or sell stock

Hi there friends,

Need a little help / advice with this one:

Was thinking of investing a little of money in shares?

This is a two part question?

1. Has anyone heard / used SVS Securites http://www.svssecurities.com/
They seem to be very resaonable with the commission rates and the prices are live before you click the deal button....... looks like pretty much the normal online broker to me
What do you guys think?

2. Is there any softwear / programe etc etc that will run a trailing stop loss.
What I mean is say you buy at £1.00p per share and the shares go to say £1.50p in a day then starts to drop off and ends at 85p (I know, I am just using these figures for easy).

I want to be notified and sell at say 5% or 7% off the top price of £1.50p - I would sell out at £1.35p if using 5%.
The only way I can see how to do this is to watch the stock all the time and move the stop loss up myself......there must be an easier way than this though????

Just trying to lock in the profit but allow for a little movement if having a bad day or two...... I'm sure your with me on this???

Anyone help with this?

All thoughts and comments welcome?

Thanks for now!

Ade.
