Hi I have some HBOS shares and according to my calculations they have
gained approx 3.9% in value. Is my calculation correct? In 1997 they were
worth 714.50p and today they are worth 1002p.

I need £3500 to buy new furniture and get my drive upgraded so should I
sell the shares (209) and use savings (£1500) from my ICICI Hi Interest
account or take the lot from my savings and keep the shares?
Thanks Tricia

It's far too late for the correct advice. I put my Halifax shares in a
PEP as soon as possible after I received them. The PEP has almost
doubled in value since, whereas - as you say - HBOS shares haven't
exactly shone over that period.

Unless you see HBOS shares suddenly shining, my advice FWIW would be to
sell.

Hi I had 209 shares, there was a dividend of 13.5p per share = 2821.5 , I
reinvest the dividend so I get another 2 shares, so now I have 211 shares.
Yes I think I will sell them, all I have to do now is find the share details
buried in some dark drawer somewhere.
