    Cost of selling shares
    My mother past away last year and I am settling her estate. she had a handful of shares in BT and BG which I am in the process of selling so the cash can be distributed across the family.
    Equinity are asking for £79.50 to process this; £34.50 countersignature fee, £45 administration!!
    this seems excessive, is there anyway to avoid these cost?

    Sorry!

    A couple of things....

    1) You no longer own BG, you will have a holding in Royal Dutch Shell (RSDB shares)

    2) You don't have to sell the shares (as far as I am aware), you could transfer ownership free of charge.

    Would any of the family happily accept the shares in lieu of cash?

    Are they share certificates, they can be sold anywhere. The equinty thing is generally a shake down on people who dont know better. Nominate another broker if possible

    Are we allowed to discuss individual shares in this thread? If so, I would like some views on 'Lloyds Banking Group plc (LLOY)' as a long-term investment. After the turmoil they have been through, they would appear to have got their **** together, and I certainly like them as a bank to deal with, nice UI, great customer services, decent enough range of products, but that doesn't mean much at the top-end. Would their financials suggest the 60-70p mark is about their upper range, or could we see a return to the glory days for them?

    Sorry!

    A share that pays no income is just retaining its dividends really and vice versa. BRK never pays anything but the price reflects its retained earnings

    Lloyds is one I watch, its price was 'diluted' by government divesting its position. They have a unique hold over the UK and generally should do well with good practise, I think 1 in 3 are customers of this company. They can be 100p but are held back by previous mistakes with PPI and also they have bought MBNA which Im not sure is great long term but is nice profit while we have this rates situation

    Well yea but a share can pay dividends and make a loss, in theory the share price should keep falling but we know prices are not always accurate.
    A famous fund manager Woodford complains our big listed oil companies are liquidating not actually profitable enterprises, they pay dividends from asset sales and he believes the stocks are not to be held if I remember right.

    Net Asset Value per Share (exc. Intangibles)!
    2012 53.70p
    2013 49.10p
    2014 64.19p
    2015 60.42p
    2016 63.18p

    Funnily enough, the share price is ~64p today.


    Remember Joseph and the Amazing Techni-coloured Dream Coat?
    Seven years of plenty, followed by seven years of famine.

    A decade ago, Lloyds was the dividend King, giving ~8%, year after year, which is your glory days, and then the years of zero dividends post credit crunch and government bailout.

    Dividend started again in 2015.

    FY2014 0.75p
    FY2015 2.75p
    FY2016 3.05p

    Pretty close to seven years of famine. Spooky.

    Nice annual results on 22 February 2017, and a claimed progressive dividend policy. At 64p a share, 3.05p dividend is 4.7%. If you bought at 64p, and the dividend goes up to 3.3p next year, that's 5.1%.

    It went ex-dividend on 6th April 2017, paying 2.2p .
    I bought some at 65.6p on 5th April So I am getting
    ~4.6% = 3.05 / 65.6

    Well, I also have some I bought at 69p, around 22nd February, so 4.4% on those.


    http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/news/alliance-news/detail/1491204004610683100.html

    "The UK government's holding in the bank now stands at 1.97%, or approximately 1.41 billion shares. This was reduced from its previous level of 2.10 billion shares, with the share sale made at an undisclosed price."

    The government seems to sell at a discount, since why would any institution buy at a premium? So, the sneaky backroom sales are probably holding the open market price down.

    I feel perfectly happy if it hangs around 65p, with +/-5p wobble, and paying 4.5%. I do expect it creeping up as the dividend goes up.

    Hi All, not sure if this is an old article but I wanted to bring to your attention a cheaper alternative for trading. It's call De Giro. I have been using for a little and their fees are by far the cheapest at £1.75 +0.004%.

    Let me know your thoughts

    Just google De Giro

    Lloyds can be 100p, apart from now paying a dividend I cant remember why that was no longer considered possible.
    Not sure I like them buying MBNA but its probably fine for now

    No payments from financial products from cash back sites? Put in a complaint direct and if they don't resolve your issue, head straight to the financial ombudsman - it costs the company £550 in referral fees, win or lose.
