animal... not only IB but Prorealtime have stopped FTSE100 eod because of cost. One has to wonder what is it with these data providers that turns off the normal guy in the street?

Hi Verbum4it Just remembered why I didn't purchase HALB. For whatever reason it wouldn't be accepted within an ISA account, so I went for the HALP instead. You may be interested that the Halifax 13 5/8% Perp. Sub Bonds HALB (@145p) is paying out gross 9.60% but the risk is that it may be...

Good Morning Verbum4it, Unfortunately I believe there is no reason to follow it now. I was drawn to the fact that the European Union directive stated that any bank receiving state funds for rescue could not pay out interest on their bonds for two years. Most of the banks passed over the payout...

Does anyone know if HALIFAX PLC 13 5/8% PERP SUB BDS (Ticker HALB) paid out the 4 accumulated payouts at the end of February?

Surely, TADAWULFX is now a regulated organisation with CYSEC? Can you confirm?

AUDUSD Major resistance @ .9320, minor support @ .8976 or thereabouts, but trend is down. Could be the last part of a head and shoulders that has taken place since October, in which case shorting would be appropriate. EURAUD ( note other way round to your request) Minor support @ 1.62 or...

thinkorswim I am led to believe that ThinkorSwim do not allow UK account holders! Yet they allow accounts from France, Germany etc... I wonder why?

Hi Necture, Whilst still downloading EODDATA end of day figures, I have found similar data from DataBull : download stock quotes, historical quotes, futures and commodities which gives a free trial for six months and then a one of payment of about $149 dollars, albeit FTSE 100 & FTSE 250 only...

Hi, Yes, I have been tracking the exchanges that are given free (American) and the historic data ( previous month) changes on an almost daily basis, particularly OTCBB. On some downloads data from 20 days ago is different on five downloads taken on consecutive days. Missing symbols, changed...

Roinesad, EODDATA have been re-structering their site in order to get rid of inadvertent 'free' access to LSE data and also to cure a problem with zero fill in some exchanges. Like everything else, if it ain't broke don't touch it. However it was and they have and they have screwed up other...

Good Morning, What is the general consensus on purchase of PIBS, Subordinated Bonds etc? I notice that Northern Rock and Bradford & Bingley are showing some juicy yields in their permanent bond offerings. As these are effectively a government owned organisation, there seems to be little...

Good Morning All, Anyone know the rules for the acquisition of a company? I am interested in the obligations of the acquiring company when it reaches 3%, believed to be obliged to inform the LSE of further purchases, 30%, 51%, and any other x% that may impose obligations. rgds................Ed

OK Guys where is the risk, NASDAQ rolling on CS is 1484.9/1487.1 NASDAQ rolling on FIN is 1494.8/1497.8 up bet on CS with equivalent down bet on FIN....an arbitrage opportunity? when they both come into sync with a similar view of where the NDX is going? Comments? rgds..............Ed

Simon, Thanks for the information, it was my understanding that the IMR should be around £140. It makes me wonder why the diddlythump it is set at £360 then? and an e-mail to CS for an explanation produced NO REPLY! rgds..................ED

Simon, Good Morning. Perhaps you can explain to me about IMR. CS Product Information says the IMR should be 3%. Therefore take, for example, one £2 down bet on AV. @ 698.5. IMR is 3% * stake. equals £41.73 one £2 down bet on MAN @ 1443. IMR is 3%*stake. equals £86.65 one £2 down bet on EMI @...
