Sold my Fidelity ISA today so I could reinvest under the 2010 ISA wrapper in stocks and shares as I believe I can improve my returns better.
After trying to reinvest, I find out that the funds are unavailable for up to 5 working days. What a crock of sh*t!
This day and age, everything should be instant.
Now missing 5 days of potential gains (or losses!).
Hopefully IG will be better, most of my holding is with them and once I've reinvested I'm moving the 2010 ISA to them with the rest of my gold.
Anyone else had something similar? Do you think it's normal for funds to take so long to get the money?
I know IG is 3 days if you are cashing out shares but you can reinvest immediately if you are not taking the money out of the platform or transfering between accounts (eg share account to ISA account).

RoxburyHouse,
Thank you for pointing me towards AA last week. I was absolutely gutted I got out of AML before the rise that week after taking note of posts I probably shouldn't have.
I am still gutted, but this is a good second option! Still can't believe I put a sell order in by accident just before opening Monday and had to quickly buy back at a 2-3p SP difference!
Anyway sh*t happens. I know this is also not guaranteed bit there are good vibes around it and hoping to make back my mahhhusssive losses from RDS by close of year and some with a bit of luck! Anyway glad to be heavily reduced exposure in RDS now. Feel much better having a much more diversified portfolio! Anothe 25k to make and should be where I left off last November lol!

I do believe UK govt announced a couple of days ago cruises can return in Jan 2021 some time.
CCL have taken ridiculous loans out - not sure if Saga has done the same. Then again Saga does not solely rely on cruises.
Glad to finally see a rise here and a positive return in my investment, I had also topped up yesterday which is a bonus.

I'm still learning! Up side is i'm about even now anyway (ignoring the fact I would have made further profit today!) Lost just over £1k with difference in share price and fees. Anyway live and learn! The thing is I knew i'd f*cked up as soon as I did it at 7:59 and by the time I tried to cancel it seconds later it was already being processed..

Well I messed up this morning :(
Tried to create a stop loss for 27 and sold everything on opening at a loss :(
Bought back in at 29 in panic immediately.
So pi*sed off at myself for having fat fingers

Thanks RoxburyHouse! See I followed through!!

Hello all, so where is the best source to see the latest info re potential takeover updates?Many thanks,GLA

RoxburyHouse - ok done and I'm in - nuff pi's*ing about lol

Went for a jog with dog and put in orders for 10k AA, 5k Kier and 5k TUI. They're all mid trading range for today so they might not get triggered..
Happy to come back into AML but not above what I sold at just out of principle ;)
I too am very interested in hydrogen as I see it as the future - and until we get MUCH better batteries sorted out and an infrastructure to support mass charging points in public and at home without taking down the grid, I think hydrogen is a better option than EVs.

Yeah I understand.. like when I sold AML at 60 because if what people were indicating here about a 62p limit ;)
Just transferred 20k to my ISA, just wanting to reinvest. Nothing can beat my cluster Fu*k of what happened to my 75k in RDS at the beginning of the year haha

Thank you, thrown up some options hadn't thought about! Has Kier got anything in the pipeline?

Put 10k to buy in AA at 27.5 and the remaining is for AML if it gets back to 50s :)

Not brave enough for Ocado, AA looks good.. any others?

Hi, any suggestions of a short term investment of 20k? Was going to get back into AML but only if it goes back to 50's whether it does or not who knows but in the mean time any suggestions for a shot term investment?
Thanks, GLA

With IG and my shares have been properly issued now.
I bought initial shares at 288.63p a while back. free rights I am minus £90 on my initial invesent and rights combined.
Therefore anyone who bought less than 280p is in profit and anyone above is at a loss.
Anyway, very positive this will rise now all this malarky is over ;)

Just re-read this from IG. seems like might be another 2 days.. in this day and age there is zero excuse for such a delay!
"When is the pay date?
The pay date is 12 November. It is estimated IG should receive the new shares one to two days after the pay date from our broker and this is when the rights are removed and the new shares are booked on clients’ accounts that elected to take up their rights."

Quite annoying IG have not issued yet

I also had adequate funds to take up the rights

I emailed my trading platform on their dedicated email address, received confirmation and had my portfolio updated for The RI as "taken up". I will receive tomorrow.

Fishy...
