Hello

Not sure this is the right place but will post and hope for some guidance

I have a holding in Wood Group

It is made up of 1310 shares from Amec Foster and Wheeler which had a book val of £10,538.21 ( see below)

Wood acquired them and I received 0.75 x 1310 shares in Wood from Amec giving me 982 new shares

I also had purchased on 12-Jun-17 Buy 855 @ £6.94 = £5,933.70 shares in Wood before this acquisition

So I have now have 1837 in Wood Group

I am not sure how to calculate the losses as I may dispose before the end of the TAX year to off set other gains but until I know how much difficult to take the decision

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated on how I calculate the losses on this holding

Hi, I'd suggest re-posting this in the Investing or Money sub-forums.

You have posted in the Feedback, problems and ideas forum, which is mainly a place to report issues with the forum website.

Best of luck.
