Share Dealing Discussion Area

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere before, but can anyone advise on the simplest (and cheapest) method of selling old (paper) shares of BP, British Gas (as well as the associated Transco, National Grid, Centrica shares that were issued) that were bought many years ago as part of privatisations of these companies in the 1980's

Halifax sell paper shares, walk into a branch or see their website

What happens when a UK investor receives a Euro dividend on a trading platform such as Interactive Investor. Is there an automatic conversion to sterling?

sabretoothtigger

Yes thats right. Rates change every day and hence your dividend will vary in worth even if the company does not change its policy.

This is why people say foreign shares are very risky but if you consider how awful sterling worth has been, its not much of a risk and generally Euro has been stronger

iii I think charges either 0.6% or 1% to swap the currency. Or they'll buy shares with it and charge 1% for that.


Halifax sent me an email to say they are dropping foreign dealing charges from 17.95 to 10.95 I think it was. Ups 1% currency charge though

A really advanced broker would let you keep the euro dividend as euro cash to spend later

Got a tip off last night, Murdoch is in a whole world of sh*t and looks like his minions have been caught not just hacking phones but hacking computers direct. Shares in anything Murdoch related will take a nasty hit i would imagine when the news breaks. His team have been caught red handed so these revelations are going to be difficuly to refute and its going to get very messy for any brand associated with Murdoch, including the tories if they are seen to have bent rules for him in recent times.

Should be interesting.

This story has only started, Murdoch's team have been planted with undercover journalists for months, a whole TV expose will be coming to your screens soon. Dump your Murdoch related shares, it will all have massive consequence. This broke this morning and its going to get much much worse for the Murdoch empire.
