i guess you might be paying duty on buying nasdaq shares, but if you just sell your aim shares then no duty should be due tbh, with the amount you have it might be worth speaking to a financial advisor

if you sell aim shares, no stamp duty applies

i still dont understand why you have to pay 950, spend some time reading up. you should only pay when you sell, transferring is not selling..

it implies to me that no merger is on the cards...but that is reading between the lines..so, a guess. how about you?

no worries, hope it works out. def no stamp duty on aim http://www.londonstockexchange.com/traders-and-brokers/private-investors/stampdutyexemption/stampdutyexemption.htm

yeah, but that should only cost 45 quid. phone a broker, and ask them, its free to ask

hang on cos i think you are being robbed.. why have you got to pay 950? you are still on aim... sounds dodgy now i have had time to think about it.. you could get a new broker, they can transfer your aim shares to the new account, then get them to convert to nasdaq..

you could sell now or before the change, then buy back on nasdaq, then you will only pay when you sell your nasdaq shares. but due to your situation i guess that is tricky you need to to pay the 45 quid then sell then buy

b'cos that is the benefit of AIM over nasdaq, no stamp duty. so yes its prob true

It's Friday, its late...I'm probably not in the best condition...but i have an idea.

if you dont intend to trade on a daily / weekly / monthly basis, dont pay for a trading account, olga's halifax idea might be a better idea for long term holders

:) thanks for the info optimissey ;) and good luck in the future ;)

i agree bob ;) it is fascinating watching it all develop.

at least we now know why there was a big sell off yesterday director dealings!

mildly interesting, Associated British Foods (British sugar parent co) are down around 32% this year so far, i guess the drive to demonise sugar is taking its effect, so they go from one of the most addictive/dangerous drugs known to man, to one of the safest drugs known to man, just to help the little kiddies, no wait, sorry, just to boost their profits ;) ballsy? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/netherlands/10314705/Sugar-is-addictive-and-the-most-dangerous-drug-of-the-times.html might be worth watching though, as the GW deal could boost their profits.

"You don't just build 45 acres of so of glashhouses, British Sugra would have done this over 15-20 years. For a company to go into 45 acres of production, in one go, is one hell of a ballsy and brave move. Its shows they have tons of bloody cash too. No one normally could afford to do this in one go." they explained why they are doing it in the article, cannabis is more profitable than tomatoes.

“By growing this crop we are indirectly helping sick children and doing something socially worthwhile.” yep, thats what everyone that grows cannabis says :) and its still illegal b'cos??

we have sort of covered it as much as poss here, though there re some good points raised on iii esp regarding not transferring (and the perils that go with it) best think to do is, either find a broker that fits your needs and let them do the work you pay them for (they can transfer for you), talk to your FA, if you have one, or spend some time reading up everyone is different, so no one answer is the right answer.

if you look at the 3 month chart, sept 23rd, you will see the gap that i believe most people are waiting for, gaps seem to act like gravity, or helium, depending on the set up, you can see it in action almost daily, but it has to be said it is no guarantee, otherwise everyone would be rich.
