Looks like 90p a steep climb. Any positive news.?

[farrugia] 05/6/2020 14:23

yes got mine and they are available for trading now.

[sphere25] 05/6/2020 13:58

Has everyone got their placing shares at 60p? Take it I'm the last one.

[owenski] 03/6/2020 10:09

Looks like Ennismore been adding.

business is underpinned by cash now, solid multi £Bn pipeline and the CEO seems to be clear on growth and margin.

Bit of patience and this should rise, think the downside is contained here now.

Needs to clear 90p to get out of this range. imo

Not much selling happening, in fact just had an auction (all 1,086 shares...). So, the price must...

thanks grahamburn, explains why £5k of my funds are missing then!

[rogerrail] 02/6/2020 19:01

Thanks for your sharing your experience with AJB. I have not got to the stage that warrants the hassle of another transfer!

RogerRail - I’d stick with AJ Bell. They’ve been brilliant with me - transferred DB scheme to SIPP and compared to all the other providers who quoted for the work, AJ Bell were fantastic. I think they’ve picked up a lot of new customers quickly and it is likely that they’ve had some teething problems. In my experience you will not regret staying with them.

Well A J Bell are poor in comparisonI only received 20% of my excess allocation and they are still holding back the cash for the 80%. Similar situation happened with the ITM placing. I have also noticed in past 6- 8 months online dealing has been very hit and miss with far too many orders being rejected for "no online quote". I am ruing my move to merge my ii account into a j bell instead of the other way.

Yes same here Ima - with HL

[imastu pidgitaswell] 02/6/2020 09:37

Could be slow and steady move up - better than the drift down of the last few weeks.

Still not got my excess cash back - not much, but messing up my records... Anyone else with the same?

[imastu pidgitaswell] 01/6/2020 10:03

No worries; all seems very calm and low volume (I suppose Friday was the day of action, it's just that for some us we didn't know where we stood.)

Not selling any, I guess next step is half year results - it's all about the outlook (plenty of recent contract wins, no debt, new division structure) and the narrative they give - just deliver...

[barnesian] 01/6/2020 09:30

Rechecked my arithmetic. I also got 63% from HL. Not 69%. Sorry.

[saltaire111] 01/6/2020 09:08

I received 60% of the extra shares I applied for, on top of my rights. I hold COST in my ISA with ii.

Salty.

[sharw] 31/5/2020 14:59

The difference between 63% and 69% could be that some are including the basic (of which you get 100%) and some are only taking the % of the excess applied for.

[pejaten] 31/5/2020 14:44

Doubled checked. Mine was also 63%.

[imastu pidgitaswell] 31/5/2020 14:15

Interesting - I got 63%. I'll be writing to my MP about this discriminatory treatment of stupid people...

;-)

[pejaten] 31/5/2020 13:45

Same here. Nice to get a pleasant surprise

[zeek] 31/5/2020 13:09

I got about the same percentage from HL.

[barnesian] 31/5/2020 09:42

HL have now allocated my extra shares. I've got 69% of what I asked for.

[owenski] 30/5/2020 20:30

I'm presuming that the guy who originally set this thread up - Washbrook - must be dead by now? Going by the date of the photo in the header and that he hasn't posted for years???

[elpirata] 30/5/2020 14:11

Im still waiting for my allocation with HL

[paduardo] 30/5/2020 14:07

40% of excess application via Barclays Smart Investor, better than I expected.

[elpirata] 30/5/2020 14:07

Is that a rhetorical question Ammu12?

I have all 3 in my SIPP so its irrelevant to me at least

So, which one is the 'strongest' in your opinion and why?
