I'm a long term bull of HL, but after the recent rise I jumped in on Monday morning with a smash & grab short at 941p. Gotta play the markets!

Re.glitches..Still think it is the biggest and best platform. Obvs biased as a customer; not a shareholder btw, the price has been unrealistically expensive in the past. But it's almost in the income as well as growth category now with the price collapse and I am bearing it in mind as a potential buy.
If I'm anything to go by, Q2 might be decent. Can't be the only one that has beent trading madly into the Market volatility and with Markets being on the rise it should be good results for the customer and HL. Had my best and busiest trading month ever. Their active savings platform is also very worthwhile now fixed bonds are nudging 5%.

Although down like a dogg again maybe due to folks cutting their monthly direct debits(?)

According to Short tracker, 3 funds have been reducing their short holdings this week. They all have some way to go.....

[stoopid] 10/11/2022 16:37

Damn, 7.5% today wow. Glad i bought at 775.... can't quite believe its recovered to 890 so quickly...

[lomax99] 10/11/2022 14:05

They should not pay the ambulance chasers, anyone who does not understand capital is at risk should not be investing in equity/capital markets, quite apart from the fact that W mgmt. misled/lied to HL.For the patient, IMO, this one has a long way to go.

How long have you got @GP?

Unless you stop out much higher you need to have funds available to average down (assuming you still have faith) otherwise it's a very long road.

[growthpotential] 08/11/2022 21:23

When this back to 1500 breakeven?

[stoopid] 08/11/2022 16:18

Nice uptick here today especially as FTSE is flat.

[growthpotential] 04/11/2022 21:43

The Woodford investors must accept losses just like I have in the likes of: HL and whole manner of tech related companies. They need to swallow and stop crying like a baby

[ochs] 04/11/2022 09:24

I think until the Woodford thing is finally put to bed the share price will struggle to properly re-rate. Look at how AJB shares have been out performing HL recently.

As well as the possible court case and damages, there is also risk of an FCA fine and then potentially the Financial Ombudsman Service could impose redress for complaints that have been passed to them.

[stoopid] 04/11/2022 09:11

According to Morningstar on the 02/11/2022 HL. Are the 9th most shorted FTSE stock with 5.7%......

[lomax99] 03/11/2022 14:46

Another 75 basis points should help cash margins....Shares Magazine this week reported HL leading the table for number of broker upgrades for prospective earnings, 6 brokers upped their forecasts.

Specially when you can make profit IT STOPSUPDATING THAT SHARE.LOL

[m_kerr] 31/10/2022 18:46

definitely going through a rough patch with a combination of lower dealing commissions, increased investment, and poor market and investor sentiment. but IMV the long term drivers behind their considerable growth in the last 20 years are intact and secure for the foreseeable future.

[jubberjim] 28/10/2022 13:09

Yet another glitch unable to access live prices or watch lists

I ve said it before very poor!

[jubberjim] 28/10/2022 08:35

I just cannot see things improving in short term ahead of the delayed yet again budget statement

Confidence is draining away was taken aback by move up in most markets yesterday in light of current circumstances

As I said sold out my small holdings 2 days ago looking at 730/735 area but if it breaks my view is we be heading to 600 level

Not interested in investing at moment too many variables and a market that I am unable to make any head nor tail off

Good luck everyone

[ochs] 27/10/2022 17:36

AJB been out performing HL recently, pleased I have some of those too 😉

[growthpotential] 27/10/2022 13:10

Constantly torn a new a$$ hole

[m_kerr] 26/10/2022 19:29

the fees they charge are high, but so are st james's place who charge extortionately high fees, and seem to be having no problems growing assets under management at double digit rates. after remembering rule 1 (don't lose money), rule 2 is to minimise the fees you pay. i always think twice about investing in businesses where i think overcharging is taking place.

nevertheless they're both very stable, long term secular growth businesses with very sticky revenues. HL has hit a bump in the road, but IMV if you come back in 5 and 10 years time, AUM and profits will be higher than what they are now. the need to save for retirement is not going anywhere and the market will grow for the foreseeable future.

and of course, by pocketing the interest people leave in cash, they make a very tidy risk free sum (IMV automatically sharing that sum with investors would go a long way to building trust, even if at the expense of short term profits - the prize is a lifelong customer that you risk losing with a profit maximising mindset).

[jubberjim] 26/10/2022 11:03

Squared latest addition

Don t know whether it's just me but either my laptop is malfunctioning or HL. Site is experiencing problems but inordinate delay in accessing up to date prices

So back to 10000 cash and small profit

Await further details of 31;October decisions

Not at all hopeful

Good luck everyone but I ve had enough for time being

[jubberjim] 26/10/2022 00:00

No Braverman when handing in her resignation due to an error on her part displayed what is sadly missing in most politicians of late

Integrity

As such she is a fresh and welcome presence in the higher echelons of government

Long may it continue


Little more impetus needed for the FTSE

So far so good but not counting my chickens yet

Good luck all

[ochs] 25/10/2022 18:16

Strange to re-appoint Braverman though surely?

Nice rise for HL this afo - seemed to be more on the US opening that UK politics!

[jubberjim] 25/10/2022 17:45

Held no brief for rishi but so far think has not put foot wrong with announcements so far re cabinet apart from rabb (dereliction of duty) during Afghan shambles

Hopefully put a floor under this for time being onwards and upwards hopefully

[action] 25/10/2022 11:44

I.e court case outcome. After that it will go up again
