Frustrating that Interactive Investor have decided to up there fees again, from £22.50 a quarter to now £9.99 a month...

Any recommendations for a cheaper broker?

I am considering going to iweb-sharedealing(Halifax) for a fixed £5 a trade or X-O(Jarvis) for £5.95, neither have monthly, yearly, or inactivity fees like ii...

Cheers...

I know what you mean many of my shares seem at ridiculously low valuations and yet others just keep going despite making very little profits.

Makes you wonder if the way shares have been valued in the past will ever return, my guess is it will but no idea when.

We are not alone many fund managers who look for value and use traditional methods to value companies have underperformed for years now.

it is ridiculous - this market looks like a raging bear to me - stocks go down heavily and most remain down. I've lost huge amounts in the UK stock market in just a couple of years, Dixons being one of my heavy losers.

Yes would have thought unless they got some news they really want to get out June would be more likely.This area needs to hold or could easily drop another 10p to the lows imo.

[hades1] 15/5/2019 07:19

Wonder if they will do a trading update after May Bank Holiday? Nothing in their investors calendar and not entirely necessary as reporting in June anyway.

[tim 3] 14/5/2019 15:35

Indeed bouncing of support now but if that fails a test of the lows looks on the cards imo.

Tim I could not believe the drop either. Let's see where the recovery takes it but POTUS needs to refrain from opening his mouth further however his initial codswallop has bought the stock down to this level so maybe we shouldn't complain too much.

[tim 3] 13/5/2019 11:20

Really surprised they are back down here.

[knowing] 10/5/2019 13:33

No just general market conditions:

[hades1] 10/5/2019 09:37

Anyone with an explanation as to why it's being walked down?

Retail isn’t dead
Retailers with big high street chains are out of favour at the moment. But in my view there are likely to be some long-term winners in this sector.
One retailer I own myself is Dixons Carphone (LSE: DC). This firm is the UK’s largest retailer of home electricals, computers and mobile phones. It also has significant market share in Scandinavia and Greece.
Sales were steady over the peak Christmas period, and newish chief executive Alex Baldock is working hard to expand online and build a larger customer credit business — a key area of growth.
Consumer demand for the latest gear is still strong and Dixons Carphone’s scale means it can price competitively. In my view, sales are unlikely to collapse unless unemployment or interest rates rise. As far as I can see, there’s no sign of either at the moment.
With the stock trading on seven times forecast earnings and offering a 5.2% dividend yield, I rate this retailer as a buy

Standard Life Aberdeen sold down stake by a 1%.
Strange time to do it in the market with no liquidity before a bank holiday?
Not ideal but possibly someone actually trying to buy their own stake?
Next few weeks will be telling.

Struggling to explain fall over past couple of days but light trading?

[tim 3] 02/5/2019 15:20

Hmm interesting a few retailers seem to be sharply down today though.

[hades1] 02/5/2019 14:44

Is there a leak here?Down over 3% on no news?

Sharecast News - Dixons Carphone rallied on Thursday as Barclays initiated coverage of the stock at 'overweight' with a 175p price target, arguing that it's a "potentially attractive turnaround story".

The bank said that while it accepts that turning around the group's performance in the competitive mobile segment will be a slow and gradual process and Brexit may create some uncertainty, the company is implementing a sensible strategy.

"The new management team has been adamant that it has now secured more favourable terms and improved flexibility from all its mobile operators, while its £200mn cost-cutting target seems achievable as we believe there is low-hanging fruit in terms of cost savings through the completion of the integration process between Dixons and Carphone."

Barclays said Dixons' increased focus on services, including credit, and online should lead to additional market share and a strengthening of its already-leading market share position.

"Overall, the medium-term operating margin of 'at least' 3.5% targeted by Dixons Carphone looks reasonable compared with the profitability level of peers in the sector (Fnac Darty's operating margin was 4.0% last year)," it said.

At 1605 BST, the shares were up 4.7% at 144.90p.
