"For those not logged into their H&L account, or those who don't use them, there'll be a drop down to 11.68 to buy in a few minutes, but don't worry. That's ok. That happens."

Mouse, how bizarre, that's exactly what happened, glad to get in below 12p (just!)

"Another great start this morning. Brilliant news about HL purchases available online."

haha... yes, I imagine they would have needed to hire an additional couple of dozen telephone dealers if they had not taken this simple and logical step...

Day high showing as $2.00 on OTC

These are the same as London shares 1 for 1, not ADRs or anything odd?

Tom Winnifrith topped up last week at 57p and called them a buy hahaha

Yes, I saw this: remarkable efficacy. It does tend to suggest that TILS is on the right lines but some way behind the leader; perhaps this is what has been sapping the share price.

Yes, and I could only see CH, none of his slides...

5% rise today so probably an RNS tomorrow, which seems to be a common theme ;o-)

Nice to have the rise but a bit worrying if that is the case

David Palumbo, not to be confused with Lord Jamie of the Ministry of Sound. Let's hope he is equally successful

Yes, HL by telephone only but watch out as they will give you the crappiest price going plus they will add an extra 1% of trade value as commission when you buy and another 1% when you sell (ie on top of regular commission). Most unsatisfactory. And as Share Soc point out they consistently fail to invest in their service meaning you will be left hanging on the telephone for ages. Most unsatisfactory. I believe you can buy online via IG

jh, I had to use Hargreaves as Halifax would not allow trade in some other shares I wanted to buy. I have to say the prices I was offered by HL were pretty dreadful. And the telephone trade I was required to make for one trade was appalling both in the time it took, price and an extra 1% commission. So I shall stick with Halifax for share trades as far as possible. I think the strength of HL is fund dealing.

This is what Evil Knievil had to say about nio (and Tesla)

Trackwise seems the best holding to me.

Buttsbridger, I am guessing you bought that 33,000... I was the £3000

Cannot buy online at HL, only by phone. I was offered 53p but he executed at 54p plus 1% commission on top of the regular fee because they have to call through to aquis. In the process of opening an account with IG. Share Soc is criticising HK because their systems are do undermanned and I heartily agree with this. I needed to call three times and then wait for an age. Even the postman only rings twice!

Indeed and not only that but the wild swings in price today based on trivial turnover seem inexplicable to me

That's the whole point, it doesn't, which is why we bought into Pires in order to get a slice of the action

Immunology! This opens up a whole new sphere of treatment beyond oncology. It could have profound consequences for HCM, let's see what the market thinks...

I stuck a foot in too. But horrible bid-offer spread - at least on HL

This is a link to the report Nick referred to which I personally found pretty useful in understanding the company and its many investments.

I had a similar issue when I tried to buy RiverFort (RGO) on Halifax so I bought them via HL instead. For Trackwise, another holding of mine, shareholders through Halifax were not eligible to buy into a shareplacing yet holders via HL were able to do so. It seems to be me that Halifax just do not care about service so I shall steadily switch to HL

I am interested to learn more about Forbes but it is proving hard to do.
On their website the so-called annual report 2019 is actually for the year ending Dec 2018 which seems a little odd to me.
Where do you get the figure that 70% is owned be ME Group?
Ambitions to be UK's leading funder! Hard to see how they can overtake far better funded and resourced businesses with the same ambition. SS sticking with MANO (but now looking at ME Group).
