Thanks tomorton, any simple profit trading strategies you can offer me link to, I need basic and simple to start but was hoping for something I can maybe make small profits on, in the DEMO account of course to test. Also do you know anything about the negative comments about PLUS500, is it not...

Hi, I've been trading normal shares and funds for a few years but I'm interested in Spread Betting, can anybody suggest the best broker to go with, who also has a demo platform to practice? Any tips for some basic profit making trades would be appreciated. I'm okay with normal long term trading...

I have been buying and selling shares and funds within mainly Hargreaves Lansdown and Barclays and I do ok with that as an amateur invextor but I would like to try Spread betting to see how I do with it. I went to PLUS500 and opened a demo account. Its a bit weird as I don't really have much of...

Hi I have some OPAY shares and they have done really well over the last year but now there has been a fair size drop over the last week or so and I am not sure what to do with them. I have read up a bit on them but I am no trading expert and need some guidance, can anyone take a look please at...

Hi sorry if this in wrong place it seemed the best place for this. I am a amateur investor and I have some funds and shares invested with Barclays and Hargreaves Lansdown. One fund I happen to have in both accounts is Cazenove UK Smaller Companies Class B Accumulation, it has done quite well but...

Hi barjon, thanks very much for that but got some follow on questions if that's ok. I just checked the HL site and saw that all the funds say in brackets at the end either accumulation or income so I assume this is the bit that tells you which type it is? It was staring me in the face but I...

Hi, simple question, looking at whether to buy shares or funds in a ISA I have with Hargreaves Lansdown, purely from a dividend point of view for now, do you get dividends on funds like you do with equities/shares? I suspect not but maybe I'm wrong but if the answer is no then why don't you get...

Hi AAlmass Sorry for the breaks but I keep having lots of distractions, with young kids. It looks good now, I see you have corrected the "more thans" etc but I think there are some errors still, i.e. there are 2x 100% more thans in the 1 year column, one of which works and the other brings up...

Wow cheers AAlmaas, looks good but have you mixed up your "more thans" and "less thans", you only seem to have 2 "more thans" whereas normally the first lot would all be "more thans" i.e. you may be looking for stocks that have increased more than 20% in one month for instance, sorry if its me...

Hi AAlmaas Thanks for that, interesting site, you say you can add indicators well the ones I look at mostly are percentage change over 5 years, 3 years, 52weeks, 26 weeks, 13 weeks, 4 weeks and 1 week, I like to compare the equities in this form as a good basic guide before looking further...

Have I put this in the wrong section possibly?

Hi I have a few equities with Hargreaves Lansdown and some with Barclays Stockbrokers and I am an amateur trader. I do ok using basic information like the trends, i.e. I look at performance over the last 6 months or year, etc. I like to use stock screeners to help me narrow down what suits my...

So am I right in thinking I keep the shares but get 75p for each one I have; I receive this 75p as either a B share or C share, the B shares are just shares but the C shares are Dividend shares? But what are dividend shares, surely it has to be either shares or a dividend payment, how can it be...

Its (my letter) a fair bit to type in but perhaps you can pick the bits out of this which is even longer http://corporate.persimmonhomes.com/~/media/Files/P/Persimmon-Homes-V2/investor/shareholder/agminfo/2013/notice-of-gm-circular.pdf if not just say and I will either type my letter in or...

Hi sorry if this is not the right place, I couldn't find a better part of the forum for this and I do consider myself a bit of an amateur with shares compared to many of the guys on here. I have about £2000 worth of Persimmon shares and have just received a letter from Barclays Stockbrokers...
