His posts are the most boring and tedious nonsense....I filtered a long time ago....his rubbish seemed to stifle all conversation on this chat for a long time......very glad to finally see some decent discussion here......interesting times for HL
FTSE100 is up and HL is up even more
Why? Mapp has moved to Bell and ii, so HL can stop wasting their time on him.
FTSE100 is up and HL is down.
Why? Clients are moving to Bell and ii.
Easily missed indeed and it’s effective from tomorrow as well. Back in FTSE100 since December 2023.
Amongst all the RNS's I notice that HL are promoted from the FTSE250 to the FTSE100....could be easily missed amongst all the statutory nitifications....
I dont think it will change if it got bought out, HL's values are client focused. They will always put the client first, and won't let anyone bulldoze what they have built.
HL was as high as 2.433, 5 years ago and was gambled down to below
700. Why?
Staff comes and goes and HL is no longer what it once was.
Trustworthy.
Let's hope it (a bid) doesn't materialise. I just moved my ISA to HL in February, and wish I had done so years earlier. I have to say that so far the service has been pretty good. The online interface is better and easier to read than my previous broker's. I hate cluttered-looking websites. HL always respond to any secure emails I send them within 24 hours (I had a few queries for them at the beginning).
All I can say is stay as you are, and keep up the good work, HL
If this is bought by PE, I shall move my account.
Barclays pay 1.66% on a savings account yet HL pay 3% on uninvested cash up to £,9999.99 and tiered upwards after that. Why are the FCA not probing Barclays? HL made good money for over a decade when rates were 0.5 as people were investing in shares a funds to get a return. If zero risk returns dry up on cash then it will be just like then.
Share holders will no doubt make money. The biggest lost will be to clients. Any private equity fund will sell off the parts to make money. The in house funds will be the first to go and will result in amalgamation with another fund manager. The self select accounts - pensions will go to some pension fund manager who will put pressure on you to transfer to their own investment schemes. iSA sold on to another party. All this would result in you paying higher charges and share dealing charges would also go up.
Lots of investment companies would pay for 1.7m clients and funds these clients hold, Should have set up a poison pill to kept the integrity of the company.
Time to consider options if taken over pp by private equity.
There was a nasty smell in the air this morning !
After all the rain that fell yesterday I thought the drains had overflowed.
I now realise it was just the shorters sh*tting themselves :D
Blimey ABDN might have some good news?
Better that than sell another big UK Co to foreign shores ! As a HL customer for 16 or so years I have seen a lot of cost cutting happening - presumably to get the company down to an attractive weight for buyers !!!
"A large chunk of profits comes from trousering interest on clients’ inactive cash on which the FCA is probing, so “sustainable...”
=============
Aw, deary me This is such BS! They ALL do it.
My previous broker did not pay ANY interest on inactive cash until fairly recently. And HL pay a higher rate of interest than them, even now. Their commission rates are the same, except HL have decided to reimburse up to £100 commission from 1st May to 30th June, although you'd have to be a fairly active investor to take full advantage of it..
ABRDN (who now own ii) announcing they hold 1.79 %.....things are looking like they will get very interesting in the near term here.......
A nice bump this morning brings me back into profit - and I'm sure a lot of others too. Buying down in the 600s was a steal.
This can still hit 1,250 - 1,300 in the near term IMO. If a second bidder comes along another 20% lift is quite possible. Long-term this should grind higher on the more positive outlook and follow the rest of the FTSE250/100 higher as the UK is revalued.
As few as 3 shares are changing hands.
They all expect a Happy End?
It seems Pocket money is part of this game
How many youngsters are betting on-line?
You have to start young and learn in time.
Getting rich on-line is fun and not crime.
A large chunk of profits comes from trousering interest on clients’ inactive cash on which the FCA is probing, so “sustainable” P/E is not as low as it looks. No way bid will succeed at 985p but given quality of earnings, surprised if bidders go above 1150p which major shareholders might reject given £25 SP not that long ago. Risk that bid dies a death.
Now we know.
Insiders filled their boots in time
Getting rich is for some very easy on line.
Mugs are told to leave or are blocked
Many are robbed.
History suggest that UK markets do well AFTER the first rate cut so I believe there is more upside left in UK stocks.
Also, many of my stocks have been targeted recently for takeovers - XP Power, Currys, HL, Wood Group to name a few. This suggest UK stocks are still very cheap!
Wouldn't surprise me if another bidder comes out of the woodwork. 2024 so far has seen huge bidding activity across depressed valuations
My view is take the money get back in lower or invest elsewhere
If the bidders are opportunistic and decide not to bid up, and walk away. Where will the sp settle?
Any views?
