We know that - duh - we are on about the futures
Investing.com shows it down ?
Yes, futures are up ..... not that it makes much difference.... as they say ‘Anything can happen in the next half-hour’ with Putin.
Come on guys, at least sound like you know what you are talking about. The US was closed yesterday and opens at 1430 today.
Are you looking at the right data now Mickey !
DOW up atm 178pt's
atb
Well a bit of speed climbing going on at the moment for a change
Where do you get that from - its showing 500 down on DOW and 300 + on Nasdaq
Wall Street UP 44pt's atm... Americans love war and aggression so long as they are involved... so sad !
Looks like its going to be a rough ride today on the markets . Futures down 100 and america well down. Oh well . Just as it starts climbing back up something else comes to bite us on the ass
Thanks pacino, just been reading about it, with the charges involved I don't think it's worth the hassle
Thats it then - mad Putin is going to war . Hang on to your hats everybody this is going to get messy on the markets
Robleo, Regarding transferring your ISA, it depends on your provider and the one you are moving to - not every provider accepts transfers out or in, but I think it’s just a case of filling out a form if they do.
Dan, I used to use iWeb, which was pretty competitive at the time. But nowadays I do everything on my phone, and iWeb Isn’t really set up for that.
My plan is to try and build my portfolio by compounding gains and dividend income over time. Generally with shares I wouldn’t mind holding for years if things get rocky. How often I trade is dictated by when the target price I have in mind is realised. So I don’t do loads of trading and see myself as a medium-term investor.
I think Vod will come good eventually, but the news is all about Ukraine at the moment and that isn’t going to help. I got lucky with my entry point, so was hoping to take some profit soon and leave in the rest for dividends. But that will have to wait for a bit now!
Fishcakes47, Thanks for that information, I had a similar account with the Halifax before i went with hl, not sure of the details of it think it was called a share builder account where you put a chosen amount into a share every month, and the charges were very low, and you paid into the account every month as a regular saver
cheers
Dan, everyone makes more than one investment into a share, if the sp takes big drop, adding more at the lower price can save you a lot more than the brokers charge, but enough of that, have you had a word with putin yet, that man is costing us all a lot of money now, more than the brokers charges even lol
Re: ISA how difficulty is it to move from one to another cheers
Well it isnt looking good for tomorrow with putin making a televised announcement to the nation in a while . Recognising the breakaway regions - this could be it !!!
Pacino. It sounds like there are some great deals out there. Freetrade sounds good if you don't need an I.S.A. & trade a lot. My long term goal is to hold in an I.S.A. get the divi, & trade rarely, so I will stick with this site, L.S.E. who charge £10 per trade, but free to hold in an I.S.A. I have 2 I.S.A. 's Me & ere in doors! I mainly have I.S.A.'s to save on divi tax, as it unlikely I would have enough cap gains, holding a high divi yield share like vodafone. Of course I hope to make large cap gains, but so far I haven't. Shame about the downward trend at the moment, but for me it is a nervy hold!
I’ve been using Freetrade since I started with stocks again in November. No commission on trades, which is handy if you are using a bit of spare cash for averaging down every once in a while like myself. Suits me better to not have to think so much about fees.
The app is nice, but it’s £3 a month for an ISA and it is pretty basic when it comes to features. No DRIP for example, although that’s less of a problem without commission.
Oh well - * hite start to the week - likely to get worse with Putin !!!!!!
Question is do you get out now and gamble that putin will go in - if he does markets will probably drop 20 odd %
That H/L. deal for £1.50 per trade sounds good. You have to trade once a month, so if you buy shares in just 1 company you will pay £18 a year. So if your direct debit is £200 a month, in a year you will have bought £2400 worth at a cost £18 + stamp duty. So it sounds good for drip feeding, but you are still paying £18 for £2400 worth of shares. More than the £10 this site charges to buy £2400 all in one go. Also if you hold them in an i.s.a. then you pay more. It is a good deal, but the reason H.L. do it, is because all companies love direct debits, because you just keep on paying year in, year out & that's £18 a year.
Robleo,
I believe you can set up regular investing with Hargreaves Lansdown for £1.50. I’ve not read associated terms & conditions (if you can start and stop at will) but the link is below if this helps you.

Yes, do your own research, follow a company for a while , work out your fair value - all aspects I enjoy. Personally I still usually build a position in stages if an individual stock as added risk management for my portfolio.
Well we cant blame the yanks today
Well I didn't think the market would let it go above 140p.
I also fear it has been overhyped with shorts reducing but investors will now be cashing out. Of course we all know that selling out would see a reversal. I think each of us exists in a different universe where our actions influence others.
