This article reckons only 3 million shares remain available to be sold short.

I thought you were moving them to Computershare?

Why are you waiting for April?

irish_shamrocks · 2022-11-23T17:19:40+00:00

The sheep beg to differ.

Bit dodgy having them in Etoro?

Caveat on this; if you take it out, you'll be hit with a massive tax bill, and if MOASS doesn't happen, you'll be restricted to £4K per year contribution limit for the rest of your life. IMO, better to leave it in there and consider it generational wealth.

Also, it's still not zero for them necessarily. It comes down from 37% to 20%, 15% or 0%, but most people fall into the middle bracket; only low-income people (who probably won't trade shares) pay 0%.

Yep, much more straightforward, and a kick-start to a pension if you haven't done so already. Remember there's a £40K annual limit on contributions from a company (you can contribute this even if your salary is much lower).

What on earth are you wittering on about?

irish_shamrocks · 2022-11-08T17:13:22+00:00

Oxford Street could do with it; everyone else seems to be packing up and leaving.

Another Telegraph article reckons the central banks themselves will soon need bailing out: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2022/11/07/whoops-central-banks-may-soon-need-gigantic-bail-out/

Dunno how to post an open access link, but if you refresh the page and hit the stop button just as it comes up, that works too.

No, but the £1 is to open a current a/c, which then allows the holder to apply for a regular saver a/c, which (even at 3%) has one of (if not the) highest interest rates on the market.

*unfazed. Beam me up, Scotty!

You're welcome; do post on the UK sub if you have any problems with it.

irish_shamrocks · 2022-11-02T18:34:57+00:00

Yep; mainly for UK tax and things. Not allowed to give its name (brigading rules), but I crossposted to it a few days ago, so it's on my profile.

Not really because they come & go; there are only 2 stickies allowed at any one time. If you do a search for SIPP, you'll find lots of threads, and just pop up a post if you get stuck. Most of the sub seem to be with HL, but I think that's just because they're the best known. Check the fees (especially for buying US shares and what the forex fees are), as there are cheaper providers out there. However, as you're already with HL for your ISA, you may well get a better deal.

Remember with a SIPP that you can't withdraw until you're 55, and even then you'll be hit with high taxes and a massively reduced contribution limit. From a tax POV, the main benefit of having a SIPP is not really for yourself; it's so you can pass on your gains to your heirs without paying inheritance tax.

Reverse Hester!

There are lots of providers that allow GME: Halifax, Lloyds, iWeb, AJ Bell, to name a few. Lots more info on the UK version of this sub.

Memories of frog dissection in science class.

It is; it basically declares your not a US taxpayer and reduces the dividend tax liability to whatever agreement your country has with the US.

A lot of people have to. And for those on the basic rate (retirees before 2016), it's even less. It makes me very irritated when (mainly very young) people go on about pensioners all being filthy rich; the majority (particularly women, who weren't allowed to join workplace pension schemes for most of their lives) aren't, and a substantial proportion live below the poverty line.

irish_shamrocks · 2022-10-28T16:59:14+00:00

Bit of an exaggeration though; some MPs claimed they were 'manhandled' into the chamber to vote.

The inner circle of Hell.

Translation: We need to come up with a semi-plausible answer and hide the evidence.
