HL pricing going to be subject to a lot more competitive scrutiny in future.

Yup, that's it. Certainly the case for the rise and rise of HL.,but maybe not all there is to laws of nature?

[miata] 29/11/2013 14:54

In other words, just because something is observed to happen over and over again, only means that it probably will happen again the next time, but this is not proof that it will for certain.

And still it goes up, but, as Bertrand Russell said..

The man who has fed the chicken every day throughout its life at last wrings its neck instead, showing that more refined views as to the uniformity of nature would have been useful to the chicken.

I wish i had bought HL 8-) rather than top up my go no-where JIM

still ploughs remorselessly on and chart is NOR situation. How long is a piece of string ?

Thanks.HL looks strong again today but an accumulated profit of 35% yesterday was too good to let go and with a divi just paid recently ,saw something in Sunday papers that last week's rise was due to record amounts of funds held .To be honest I expected the share price to go down after the 11th Oct RMG fiasco ,oh well must get a new crystal ball for Xmas.Best regards.

I also sold half my holding yesterday as I thought it looked over-bought looking at RSI, but then again the dips are never that massive with this share. Hoping to buy back in below 1100. Still quite likely I'd have been better holding and ignoring these blips as overall I'm a long term holder here. Good Luck all in your own decisions.

[cyfalafwr] 22/10/2013 17:26

Sold and put some of the money in BAE as it goes XD tomorrow.One good thing about being in a self select shares ISA you can buy and sell and be your own fund manager.LOL

I don't think that HL fiasco in not providing trading services all day on 11th October is likely to be a disastrous 'Ratner' moment but I am sure that they will be punished by some customers for their incompetence in not providing a service, and arrogance in their public statements brushing their failings aside following - I for one have begun to unravel my business from them (and intend to remove it completely) and transfer it elsewhere; I have also described my experience of them and my opinion of them to my friends and financial advisers and will continue to recommend that none of them touches HL with the proverbial 'bargepole'.

[hoggetwood] 22/10/2013 16:39

The other side: I'm much better off now by holding this continuously than I would be if I'd traded in and out (which, if done by me, would have been inept). But all good things... [No advice intended]

[cyfalafwr] 22/10/2013 09:29

Tempted to take a profit here just in case it falls back to £10,simply by looking at the 2 year chart ,a series of peaks as the share share price increases,and perhaps buy back in before the next divi. Any thoughts ?

[mozy123] 18/10/2013 13:35

5.3billion for a company that will do £240mil profit!

Shed tonnes of growth factored into the valuation.

Id be a seller if i still owned them. Or maybe im just bitter lol!

[hoggetwood] 18/10/2013 10:36

At 1120, they have reached 7 times their price at ipo, 6 years ago.

[arja] 17/10/2013 11:46

well, hit £11 and I wonder if that round figure might be a temporary hurdle for a short while !

[arja] 17/10/2013 11:12

forget about the pennies and just look at the beautiful HL chart and the NOR situation.

[zangdook] 17/10/2013 10:44

It sounds like they'll refund dealing fees from Friday if you ask. Perhaps I'll try that, though I really don't enjoy writing to these people because their replies are always so snotty. They ought to refund them to everyone if they're going to do it for some.

[hoggetwood] 17/10/2013 10:24

Well, they've got to be careful what they say. We wouldn't want the share price to be damaged, would we?

[shanklin] 17/10/2013 09:54

I would quite like them to reply to my complaint, posted above, which I sent them on Tuesday morning.

I guess they can't bring themselves to be open and honest about the extent of their web-site problems on Friday.

[hoggetwood] 17/10/2013 09:23

I expect the recent problems will kick them into doing something about their online services.

[cyfalafwr] 17/10/2013 08:16

£11 today?

[cyfalafwr] 16/10/2013 17:01

barefoot141 16 Oct'13 - 15:55 - 496 of 497

My dealing fees for RMG were waived when I eventually managed to sell on the phone late in the day.

[par555] 16/10/2013 16:39

Dealing fees refunded on 5 deals .

[barefoot141] 16/10/2013 15:55

Just received £25 compensation from my complaint about last Fridays fiasco
