    Quick question, which date does Tesco announce how much div they are hoping to pay out? My guess is that it's between 25th Feb (yr end) & 25th Apr (Ex-div)? Thanks.

    Many of us small investors hold shares through stockbrokers in "nominee" accounts. The majority of my own portfolio is now held in my ISA account which is a nominee account.

    Perhaps a future video could explain what nominee accounts actually are and what rights and entitlements they give (or not) to the investor.

    I agree with Thomas above, I've no idea what it means.... although I have one myself!
