I am glad that I topped up GSF with my M&G dividend instead of buying more BP this morning. Although GSF didn't sky rocket, it held up well compared to BP and all my other shares of my portfolio. It's a slow burner but sure footed, more safe in the long run and also with great dividend too.
That's great, which means the new shares have started trading from today then........and no dilution at all, nice!
So, the fund raising is now done and it's time for GSF to grow and expand. Hopefully, we'll see the SP rising gradually from here on......GLA
New shares straight into my trading account today. Excellent service from both Primary Bid and my broker. Onwards and upwards until the next fund-raise.
Spot on nezlob, my buy order at 102 triggered this morning which was a nice surprise. That'll do me for now, unless it dips below £1.00. Hopefully this will be the last raise for a while now & they will work towards getting maximum return on our investment.
Broke account hopefully not a Freudian slip
Sorry to poke my nose in a board that I have no interest in, except looking at PB offer.
I would like to point out one of the problems I have with PB buying is the shares cannot be transferred into an ISA.
This is probably as they cannot trust investors to keep within their limit and cannot track that.
There is also fair delay from purchase to in your broke account and so tradeable.
Lastly you might bid for say £1000 shares but get just a few hundred £'s.
I used them to buy some AGM shares, a bad decisioon anyway and got less than £200 for my £1000 bid, and the compounded things by buying more of that particularly crap company to average down soon after.
The other thing I have noticed often, but in honesty have not checked absolutely all, many shares end up going below te offer pricein the first few days after offer closed. It strikes me it might pay to buy from broker in that period, you can then use your ISA, have shares immediately in your account and know exactly what you are getting.
I think Primary B are working on some of these things particularly the share allocation, they also are nice, polite and responsive to emails/complaints
So should I buy some Gore Street or not as that is why I am here?
You know Bellows, they ought to stop cartoon characters posting on here. Where have you been all weekend, in the cupboard ?
Yes I agree, I have been here since day 1, I sold out at profit when they announced yet another cheap fundraiser. Now I have hopefully bought back in at a lower price, having used the money to amass dividends elsewhere in the meantime.
I do not give a t@ss what you think or what you say, when you have the guts to use your own name or initials, please carry on. Here is your current standing in the world - "Krusty is cynical, burnt-out, addiction-riddled smoking clown".
adv11, here's what you said on 6th April (see below):
"102p. What an absolute joke ! Raise cash to pay dividends. Only going one way."
and on 7th April:
"They are just giving the company away with no respect for "retail" investors. Every time there is a fund raise, the new shareholders take money out of the company with their dividends before the money is invested and actually earning the dividends." and "I sold half a few weeks ago when the plans were made known, and the rest at 105p when the announcement was finally made. Plenty of companies out there who do respect their small investors."
Then on Friday "All the more for me !"
I'll leave others to decide who the clown is here.
That's fine Krusty the clown, I apologise for trying to help Bobsdad.
You lose out, no skin off my nose or anyone else's for that matter. If you want the shares that's the only way to get them, if you don't blame Gore Street and the idiots who didn't vote to stop them ignoring their loyal investors.
All the more for me !
OK so if I'm going to use PrimaryBid's app using my own money here's what I'm going to need:
Secure login with strong authentication.
The ability to securely transfer money into a client account in my own name.
Visibility of my money at all stages.
In-app notification of details of any transactions undertaken by PrimaryBid on my behalf, with my money.
In-app notification of secure transfer of shares from PrimaryBid to my broker.
In-app notification of secure transfer of any remaining funds from my client account to my bank account.
Since it doesn't appear to offer any of these things, I won't be using the app until such time as it does. I wouldn't bank with anyone who didn't offer this minimum level of security. Why would I apply different standards to share dealing?
K.
Current problems with the PB App are being caused by certain banks blocking payments without verification by whatever means the bank demands.
I used the PB app for Jarvis last week, and had lots of failed but pending transactions, but in my case no money was taken. The problem was that my bank made me confirm the payment in their App, and switching to that made the transaction fail in the PB app. As it was evening by now, I clicked "Contact us" on the App "pending transaction" and described the problem and they phoned me back at 7.30pm (they are happy to e.mail if you ask).
As an alternative to paying via the App they sent me a link from World Pay which I used to pay, and I then received the e.mail from PB confirming my subscription.
They also e.mailed me to say the App would be corrected yesterday, and I was so impressed with their helpfulness, I decided to take part in Gore Street as well. As I had sold all my ISA holding, I was happy they would only be going in my share dealing account. Again, I had two failed transactions. PB offered the alternate way to pay, but I tried a third time and it went through.
Personally I never thought I would use PB, but I found them very helpful and professional - much more so than any broker I have used.
Thanks Bobsdad, I hope you get some kind of confirmation soon. I've used the web interface a couple of times and it's horrible too. You go through all the stages, add your money, press "apply" then you're presented with a random blank screen, no confirmation of receipt of your hard-earned. To be fair though, I did receive an email from them more or less straight away, confirming they had received my application. The rest of it worked ok, I received my allocation of shares (took about 3 days for my broker to add them) and the balance of cash returned to me after about a week. I think my default position for now is not to use PrimaryBid at all until they get their act together. It's a shame, the placing shares are looking cheaper & cheaper every day!
Just a little feedback. I just tried to buy some shares using the app. After having to divulge far more personal information than I was happy with including my debit card details the application said my payment had failed (there was no reason for this to have happened) I then checked my bank account which indicated that the payment has gone through but I have received no confirmation from PrimaryBid about the payment or the share application. Now wondering if I should have bothered!
