IG all the way, they are fantastic with a great platform. I was with Fidelity who are awful and I have taken to financial ombudsman for claims. Stay clear!

Thanks for the replies. Mostly what I expected. Sound advice.
No one can afford to lose anything, but I he equity from my house sale will be just over 50% of my savings which are also invested, 20k already in RR within an ISA as a LTH.
I have just over 18k of registered losses with last year's self assesment and with the CGT allowance of this year, I hope to just fill it all up. I'll have 150k equity from my house when it completes and most likely have 6 months before the money is required. I have a further 120k spread on other LTH investments, including RR.
I would like to clear last year's loss and fill this year's CGT allowance so when it completes if RR is still at this sort of level, I'll maintain a 20% profit and set sell order and just take that.
Assuming RR is 130 at some point within the next 6 months I don't think is unrealistic.
Yes it's a gamble but a realistic one and we are all gamblers..
The remaining 120k of my investments are all LTH and we'll hedged which I would expect over the next 5 years would double if not more.
I'm in a good place. I doubt I'll lose even if I don't make my 20 % in RR.

My house is due to complete soon, was thinking about putting the equity on RR for a short period as I haven't found a place to buy yet.
Should be invested for 3-4 months minimum alongside my other RR investment but that's in this year's ISA.
How realistic is 130 this year? Just asking as that will clear my declared losses from last year and fill my CGT allowance for this year.
The other RR investment I have no such intention of selling in the same time frame.

Well said

Because we are not on theirs..

As a holder of these shares last year, I made about a grand on one and I seem to remember I lost on one transaction too when I panicked.If I had stayed throughout I would be quids in as I would have doubled my investment at least.Instead I made some other poor choices with other stocks and also some good ones and some extremely 'OK' returns (ie slightly better than the bank lol).Anyway, I have learnt not to listed to hype on the interweb, but I do like the odd read.Well I bought back into AML a few days ago and I have another buy order at 1812 which I'm annoyed didn't get triggered yesterday. Hoping it will this afternoon as people sell out for the weekend on typical Friday afternoon troughs..If not - I'm not too fussed.Hope you all have a nice weekend :)

Tomorrow's prediction is irrelevant, once travel resumes this will gradually increase by a significant amount. Just don't be in a rush.
Three years down the line we will all be substantially better off.

So... what's the problem with this company? I thought it was a consultancy company and having come out of lockdown I would have thought things would have improved and companies still require supporting, maybe even more than before? Maybe it's a case of less money now available and they prefer to do things in house and cheaper?
Anyway what do I know ;)
Looks like I'll be hanging on to these shares for years now, shame I got in at 50p

Was on a course with someone who used to work on a Saga ship as a deck officer, he said they let all their Masters go accept one, the youngest..
Shame that a lot of knowledge would have been lost. That may have been common knowledge but I only heard it for m the horse's mouth a couple days ago :)

Happy 33.6 av :)

You know sometimes (not today) you see that your share balance is sometimes considerably higher on opening of the markets and then settles down almost instantly..
Is this tradeable if you have open limit orders from the previous day or are they just glitches and are ignored by the platforms?

Why do you write 02:00PM?
It's either 2 pm, 2:00pm or 14:00

Thank you James.

I have a life and don't stick glued to my phone / laptop - thanks for your useful comment..
Why does it mean I shouldn't be investing pres tell?
Moron..

Morning all,
What happened yesterday? Couldn't see an RNS or any relevant news and going throught the BB it's just people banging on about some gold mine I'm not interested about which is not relevant to Tullow..
Many thanks..

Yeah well if you know what the shares will be in 3 days when the cash clears and you can re-buy in the ISA then you are a genius.
As the funds don't clear instantly you cannot do this

I don't use fidelity anymore that was last year transferring a previous ISA wrapper to IG.
What I'm talking about now is all through IG.

Transferring shares between providers is a headache. It will take months and I don't recommend it.. I've been through it and are taking one of my providers who was involved (Fidelity) to financial ombudsman for losses..
There is no easy way unless you sell and re-buy in new provider and incur the fees again..
But if you don't mind having shares you can't touch for potentially 2 months then transfer away at probably zero fees..

Because it takes 3 days to clear the funds unless you are rebuying in the same account - you risk a fluctuation not in your favour being out for three days - that's why.
