Hi again, yes it is a bit of a quiet board this one. Still, sometimes better that way. Boards sometimes get absolutely swamped with posters when good news arrives. It happened with FITB when the good news arrived and the sp shot up. Up until then sometimes it went for days or even weeks without posts, and after the announcements about the two big retail deals there were posts every minute of every day for weeks on end, unbelievable.
Most of it was from rampers cluelessly speculating on where the sp was going, but it got very heated at times and personal. I switched off at that point. I can't be doing with all that.
Back to TYR though, I use Selftrade as my broker. As with Halifax they are not the cheapest, and to be honest I don't know why I've stuck with them as they charge £12.50 per trade, but then I suppose I don't trade that often.
Their trading platform is straightforward for online dealing though which is a plus. However they are moving their clients' accounts over to Equiniti in the near future, so now wouldn't be a good time to switch to them.
I'm surprised Halifax won't let you deal in Tyr. I assume you've tried both TYR and TYRU although I don't really understand the difference between them. Looking at the fundamentals page TYR seem to have liabilities of about £3m which I suppose could take a year's worth of revenue to pay off. I think like you I'll wait until the market cap is £3m or below before buying.
