RE: For those who have sold, it’s not too late...23 Jan 2021 12:38
Emeritus, try not to get sidetracked into the ‘free trading’ platforms. I use 212 and Hargreaves Lansdown, and although I pay a fee for each trade with HL (£5.95 -£11.95 depending on frequency of trading), I find the buy and sell margins to be far better. When you’re buying significant tranches of shares this difference can amount to £100s, which when you’re alternatively paying a small fee, makes it all worth the while. I do use 212 Trading to access the US a stock markets, so it does have its benefits. I’ve purchased over 100k of ARB in the last 10 days through HL and was able to get trades processed without any issues.
