Share dealing service coming soon?

We travelled to Central London last week to commence negotiations with a well-established and well-known firm that provide Share dealing systems for websites. I am not easily-impressed, but meeting at a swanky media agency kitted out with Apple Mac’s and chocolate bars aplenty in the expansive meeting room would turn anyone’s head! It was a productive meeting, taking into account the 2 key drivers behind any decision we make for lse.co.uk: - Will it benefit our Members/Visitors and be easy to use? - The need to ensure we remain 100% compliant and within well-established guidelines/regulations As with all these things, time will tell, but the signs are good for moving forward to an agreement and releasing lse.co.uk’s own Share dealing system! I have been working on this for a number of month’s now, feeling this to be one thing our site is lacking. Member survey data agrees with this viewpoint, with over 50% of respondents wanting to trade shares and other financial instruments (I.e. ISA funds, CFD’s, etc.) via lse.co.uk. It is a corny phrase, but it would make lse.co.uk more of a ‘one-stop-shop’, whereby visitors can gain information, research and trade all in one place, without having to move to a different website. We see this as a positive development but, as always, welcome your feedback as to what improvements and additions you would like to see on lse.co.uk. After all, you make the site tick, and we build and improve it with you in mind...as a direct result of your feedback. Until next time...
