As someone said earlier today BA one of the biggest fines for data breaches in uk history was 20m this is down about 60m today… I maybe wrong but it looks like classic over reaction to me. They seem to be doing everything by the book so it should not affect their already battered reputation long term anymore than their various other mess ups. Talk of 120m fines is just scaremongering, that’s the absolute max.
Craigjd’s post is interesting in that BA only got fined 20m. That hack was huge from memory, and credit card data was lost. I was one of those affected and had my credit card blocked due it being compromised. There is no indication here of anything like that happening, so to me it’s not the fine that is an issue, it’s just reputation, and my feeling is they have dealt with it well. Based on that I risked buying a batch to trade this morning in a hope we get a quick bounce back.
Even filtered it’s annoying, I think it is just selfish to prevent others using this as a genuine place to chat about hargreaves. I haven’t got a problem with negative comments just make them relevant and don’t ruin things for others. The poster is old enough to know better she is acting like a spoilt child. I have reported her for posting irrelevant information but I doubt it will stop her being so inconsiderate.
It’s such a shame that one individual, who according to their posts is a mature lady, and should know better, finds it acceptable to post irrelevant information on a daily basis, this totally ruins what could be a useful and informative chat board. If her gripe is with hargreaves then her actions here are simply selfish.
Any one else own this? I bought a while ago based on the fact the hedging would be advantageous once the pound starts to strengthen, and I like the equal weighting theme, avoiding large exposure to the likes of apple and Tesla. Will be interesting to see how it does compared to the vanilla S&P 500
Put 10% of my pension pot in this yesterday for a bit of diversification. Hoping the recent disappointing performance is just a blip.
HL have now removed fees for regular investing and dividend reinvestments. Excellent news for me as a regular saver into shares/etfs with them. Makes smaller regular savings more appealing and should help to retain customers in my opinion.
Can’t believe you ever respected nofear eatstocks. His ramping of this share when it was in a downward trend was blatant. Now it’s finally starting to recover and is in an upward trend he does nothing but post negative comments. He’s a clueless wanna be trader in my opinion. Life is better with him filtered.
@culley we just need to be in position 325 ( or higher) in the ftse all share index at the end of May to guarantee entry (there are other rules that could see entry from a lower position). We are currently in position 315 I believe.

@realist1 it’s interesting you mention foreign and colonial, I recently sold out of that fund because they have had a fantastic run, but bear in mind the discount there has narrowed substantially , to around 1% I think, whilst Smt has widened. Also f&c has over 12 % private equity which was where their best returns came from last year. Interestingly I haven’t seen the same negative press speculation levelled at their “risky” assets like we have seen with SMT. I would expect medium term for the f&c discount to widen whilst SMT narrows, hence why I switched funds. Only time will tell if it was a good decision.
@Dontshootme why would short sellers be interested in this? ok the share price is falling but the NAV is rising, at close to 20% discount and rising it doesn't look like an appealing short sell to me. The discount looks over done to me, even taking in the risk of the unquoted portfolio.
Bought some of these today for my pension. Was looking at worldwide health trust but preferred the dividend offered here and the fact they don’t charge a performance fee. Seems very much under the radar, but with experienced management, hoping it will be a good long term core holding.
Nice post moyes, looks like MC actually did use your dogs butt signal to exit.
Nice summary GOCPI. There are whispers of temporary measures to insurance all deposits in the US banking system, that would go a long way to alleviating a lot of the current panic in some US banks.
Anyone any idea why this did so well today? Best performing share on the all share index by a long way, but doesn't seem to be any reason for it. I am not complaining just seems odd.... maybe just recovering from being oversold last week?
Bought some of these this morning, close to 50% discount seems overdone even if there are write downs to come.
I think aim could be closer, it’s starting to fly…
Did anyone notice the Nasdaq composite scored a golden cross this week, just as the value orientated ftse 100 and DOW dropped below their 200 day moving averages. I’m no charting expert but could this be the beginning of a shift back from value to growth. If it is SMT should benefit.
Short term trading gains can be dwarfed by long term investing profits NOFEAR. Only time will tell if your sell was a smart move. I am happy to ride the rollercoaster (hopefully) higher over the next few years. But feel free to carry on with your trading just don’t be so disingenuous. Good luck.
NOFEAR you got stuck in a bad trade for 14 months, posted nonsense as the share plummeted to 20p then got cold feet and sold out as soon as you were back in profit, don’t pretend you care about other investors here, if you did you would not be posting negative comments now. Your posts on this and other boards (particularly the cine board) reveal you to be a deluded unpleasant individual. All my opinion of course.
