When are the results due ? says yesterday!!

In my experience both HL and ii I found they were expensive and their technology was behind the times. They were also slow to respond to queries. I have had an ISA account with IG for a couple of years - they do not have fees for buying and selling UK shares; you can immediately see purchases and sells; they give me daily emails on my activity; they pay 4% on any spare cash in your account. I have no affiliation with IG but I do hold their shares.

Is it 200 to 1? Please confirm

Not impressed with the results. Considering global market uncertainty and resultant currency fluctuations I would have thought these experts would have done better???

Very irritating that petrol prices at tesco vary from site to site. there is a 4p difference in 2 tesco stores less than 30 miles apart. surely tesco purchases petrol in bulk so why the difference?

After spectris???

I wonder if any of the punters have used the 888 site? The mega wheel gives the 'winnings' before you have even given it a spin!! Other dubious practises occur. I have used the site for many months and have decided that if you like to consistently loose money this is the site for you. Maybe this reflects the share price?

Every week this table omits TP icap. I have tried many times to get this corrected but get no reply. Do the directors of TPicap not read the Sunday Times or cannot they read??

Problems with share trades!! Just read the press - loads of rubbish. This week Sunday Times table of the top 200 shares omits Tate & Lyle, TP Icap, Plus 500, Petershill, Harbour energy amongst others. I have tried several times to get this corrected to no avail. One wonders if the directors of these companies actually read????

Really irritating that one has to trawl through the report to find the dividend date. Why cannot they be up front when they declare the amount? simplesss

Or am I being grumpy?

I have had an ISA account with IG for several years. Their technology is far superior to the likes of ii and AJB - one gets immediate confirmation of deals and daily emails of deals. Their deal prices are a fraction of those charged by other brokers. I find it strange that financial pundits never advertise this company, even though it is far better value than the other mainstream brokers.

I contacted beazley and hay presto appeared in last weeks table. The following are still omitted Ithica, Harbour energy, Jet2, JTC, premier foods, Tate and Lyle, and TP icap among others. One wonders what papers the directors of these companies read or do they not care. Despite several times commenting to the editorial staff of the ST they do not bother to reply. ICE data services seems to be a load of c...p.

Naked Trader shorting...

Pass by GW shop in Taunton a couple of times a week. Very rarely see a customer in the shop.Portent? Hope I am wrong since I am a holder of the shares!

I find it amazing that so many people subscribe to the simple arrogant argument that climate change is largely man made. It has become the new luddite religion!! Anyone who has studied geology, particularly paleontology/stratigraphy, will know that there has always been climate change over the last 7 billion years without any humans being around. Our environment is going to change despite our puny efforts. We need to adapt rather than waste our resources on trying to prevent change.

The table of the FTSE 200 on page 10 of the business section is riddled with inaccuracies. Beazley has been omitted for over 2 weeks as well as a least 10 other companies. Several companies not in the FTSE 200 are included for instance Zigup and Currys.I have contact the ST without any reply. Maybe other punters could make their feelings known??

Nobody seems to mention volcanic eruptions and climate change.For instance I wonder how much heat and gas has been emitted by the ongoing Icelandic eruptions and what would it equate to fossil fuel emissions?

When are they due? Cannot see RNS

Morningstar still lists this share as photo-me at a price of 107p. Surprised no director etc has not pointed this out!! Morningstars listings are riddled with errors and they cannot even list the yield of companies.

I have pointed this out to Morningstar/ Times/ Sunday Times several times but they do not seem to care.

i have tried for several months to get SMT included in this table (it is roughly one of the top 30 shares in the FTSE) but to no avail. No replies from ST and Morningstar treats me like a simpleton. I suppose if you pay peanuts you get ............I would not trust them with any financial information??
Several other omissions in this table but hayho!!!!
