hi all, my dad has BG shares which were given out many moons ago, now they have written to ask if you want to buy anymore, dont really have indepth knowledge of the situation with BG with regards to buying now and sitting on them but would it be worth it ?

or keep existing holding ?

Hi Kronas,

just saw this thread - i've been holding these for years. They are a safe company who recently announced a decent dividend. What is your dad after? is he looking to buy some more and then sell them for a profit, or a long term investment? if the later, i would definately saw buy some more. if he is going to look to trade in the short term, i would say his money is probably better off else where (e.g banks / housing )

hope this helps

no intention of selling just looking at the future in long term, at current prices is it worth a plunge ? whats the minimum/maximum would you purchase ? currently has 93 shares!

been told £40 fee plus 0.5% stamp duty!

any tips appreciated!

£40 for a trade is a hell of a lot - i wouldnt bother with that unless you are getting a discounted share price.

golden rule with shares is don't gamble what you can't afford to lose - this should answer your question on minimum and maximum, but i wouldnt bother with less than 1k if your trade fees are so high.

would defo hold on til we are back in full swing in term of ecomonmy!

ill bugger it off then as im not really wanting to waste money pn a share price which is stable!

thanks mate!
