B&M, Forterra & why HMRC is likely wrong on fractionals

► Episode Notes:

What parenting rite of passage has Steve W been through this week? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!

This week, Steve and Steve are in to talk about the news. There’s also a stock for Paul even though, in one of the smaller surprises for the week, there’s no Paul.

We’re starting off with what we’ve been consuming. Steve D has been doing the decent thing and listening to people who disagree with him, whereas Steve W’s been taking the easy road and having his own views confirmed.

Then it’s on to the most controversial issue of this week that we dare to talk about – fractional shares. With HMRC asking questions, do either of the Steves have a coherent view to offer on the legitimacy of fractionals in ISAs?

After that, we’re in more familiar territory – Steve W promised a B&M piece last week and he’s finally delivering. Steve D seems impressed, but is it just because they’re headquartered in Hull?

Last, it’s Forterra – the brick manufacturer that both Steves own. Things aren’t going well for the company at the moment, with more factories closing, but is the long-term thesis still intact?
