The rates offered on cash look pretty competitive to me, and normal profits being made. I think the action on consumer duty has already been made and HL currently meeting that criteria

Hecla Mining Company (NYSE:HL) is the largest primary silver producer in the United States and the third largest in the world.
With almost 17 million ounces of silver production expected in 2023 and potentially increasing to 20 million ounces by 2025, Hecla is expected to also become Canada’s largest silver producer.
We are the #3 lead and zinc producer in the U.S.
Hecla 100% owns and operates mines in Alaska (Greens Creek), Idaho (Lucky Friday), Quebec, Canada (Casa Berardi), and Yukon Territory, Canada (Keno Hill).
On a silver equivalent ounce basis, Greens Creek is the second largest and highest-grade primary silver mine in the world, and Lucky Friday is the seventh largest with the second highest grade.
Our silver assets continue to generate positive margins after covering all-in sustaining costs in low-price environments.
In 2022, Hecla produced our second highest ounces of silver, and record lead and zinc production. With our acquisition of Alexco Resource Corp., we delivered record silver reserves of 241 million ounces.

Hecla dominates U.S. silver production. We produce more than 45% of all silver in the U.S., and we also mine gold, lead, and zinc. Hecla also owns the only primary silver producer in Canada. Keno Hill is located in the Keno Hill Silver District, one of the highest-grade silver districts in the world. We have exploration properties in world-class silver and gold mining districts throughout North America.

Hecla pays an annual minimum common stock dividend of $0.015 per share to be paid quarterly at $0.00375 per share.

Hecla also pays a silver price-linked common stock dividend based on Hecla’s average realized silver price for the preceding quarter (starting with a minimum average realized silver price of $20.00). Realized prices are calculated by dividing gross revenues for each metal by the payable quantities of each metal included in concentrate and doré sold during the period.

They have been shorted due to structural issues with the business. High fees/low growth/falling margins due to rising costs.

The shorters were right about that, but significant net interest margin gains due to interest rate hikes have held up the financial results.

Interest rate cuts or FCA action on consumer duty could reduce interest rate margin profits and then HL's profits would collapse in the way shorters expected.

[stoopid] 11/3/2024 23:01

7.6% when I checked yesterday, down from 12.6% a month or three ago?? Maybe shorts closing was why the price spiked to 840 before results.The short percentage is really high here and no one seems to have any idea why?The financials were good, increased dividend and things look good going forward.The platform fees seem OK but not the cheapest. So I cannot see what the issue is?

[lomax99] 11/3/2024 10:52

Shorters upping their bets slightly.

[cottlet] 10/3/2024 14:40

Can anyone explain to me how I got shafted by HL on QBT?
One minute I have shares, the next they are being delisted from my ISA and then moved to my Fund and Share account
and during the move are deemed worthless......I would be grateful for an explanation as to how this can be.
They are still quoted..

Need stamp duty to be removed for uk shares if they want to revive interest

[zam1] 08/3/2024 18:55

8 funds 7.4% shorted.This is high I don't own any of HL stock but it does not look good with that amount of shorts. I have not had any issues dealing with them and they response to message's I had no issues.Trade charges are not cheap and the App seems to work very well no issues logging in either.Not sure why so much shorting and that has put me off buying this stock not sure about others.The new British ISA I am not sure if it matters a lot as most average investor is all ready holding a fair amount of British stocks why they did not simply increases the allowance to £25k. Maybe it will affect some fund mangers.

The Government has announced the introduction of a new British ISA to encourage investment in UK companies and boost the City.

It will give people an additional £5,000 tax-free allowance to invest in UK assets, on top of the existing £20,000 limit.

Them that can do, them that can't teach, and them that really are totally clueless join the FCA

[giltedge1] 03/3/2024 09:11

HL pays me 3.65% on cash not invested OK, while waiting to reinvest. Banks pay pathetic interest on Billions but do not receive any criticism I presume different regulator. PRA instead on FCA more worried about stability of financial system, so doesn't,t care for consumers, OK with free money. HL unfairly criticised.

IC: Hargreaves Lansdown HL. 765p ASSET MANAGERS & CUSTODIANSThe pronounced jump in Hargreaves Lansdown's (HL.) half-year revenues largely related to net interest earned from cash kept in customer savings accounts. It's an issue that has attracted criticism from investors and regulators alike.Dan Olley, the trading platform's chief executive, revealed that it "closed the period with cash [held in investment accounts] at 8.5 per cent of assets under administration", representing a reduction of £1.0bn through the period as clients redirected money. Olly said management expects this trend to continue as clients "put their cash to work" with platform capital "on a glide path to c£11.5bn," from £12.1bn on 31 December. The group increased the options open to clients by launching a cash individual savings account (Isa) last year and its first multi-bank cash Isa in January 2024.Leaving aside the interest dynamics, assets under management have increased by 6 per cent since midway through 2023 to £142bn, although net new business fell back compared with the prior year. Investor sentiment has waxed and waned depending on geopolitical impacts and the cost of living squeeze, hence the parallel increases in both gross inflows and outflows.The interim figures garnered a negative response from the market amid concerns over the net interest issue. The client retention rate fell by 110 basis points to 91.6 per cent and there were also mixed messages on the cost base through the remainder of the year. But the long-term structural opportunities open to the platform is reflected in the addition of 20,000 new clients, taking the total base to 1.82mn. On balance, we think that the forward rating of 12 times consensus earnings represents a viable entry point given an implied full-year dividend yield pushing 6 per cent. Buy.

Jeremy Hunt Turns to Retail Investors to Save the UK Market

One proposal to revive the fortune's of an ailing stock market is a British ISA that incentivises investing in domestic stocks.

That would help:

Additional ISA contributions

Additional trading in the UK market

Additional demand for HL as a UK share.

[stoopid] 01/3/2024 17:58

Nice rally into close.... more to come, hopefully

Ripe for a short squeeze here. No obvious event for a short seller to liquidate

May be bp will join the list with bt & Vodafone as well. Long live Great Britain.

No problems whatsoever. In fact when everyone moans about having problems logging in to HL I find that there are no problems.The platform is stable and easy to use. Ex Divi today and its been wrecked. From 840 to 720 in just over a week? 16% fall? Just ludicrous. The doom and gloom surrounding HL is just nuts.

[lippy4] 29/2/2024 09:18

been using this company for a lot of years and i am now finding the way is operates is becoming sloppy as AI is being introduced and trying to talk to a human is getting harder.

i dont hold the shares just invest my money through them..i complained recently about some thing and they sent me a long letter appologising and £25 as a sweetner..

[jubberjim] 29/2/2024 06:29

The fight/bite back starts here

But is not helped by being unable to access/sign in to the Hargreaves Landsdown site this a m.
Anyone else having problems?

[porsche1945] 28/2/2024 10:05

SJP collapsing, from 12 quid to 4 quid in under 12 months, their business model is wrecked and HL won’t be far behind, I closed a short out I had on SJP this morning, tempted to buy in the money PUTS on HL, the fees they charge, terrible performance of their dogshxt funds and competition from cash and treasuries, I can’t see how they don’t get cut in half from here. The other problem is, since brexit, there are massive fund outflows every year since 2016, over 100 billion and it’s accelerating as U.K. shares continue to be the bug zapper capital loss trade and companies relist elsewhere as the shares get an immediate 30pc uplift and more liquidity. U.K. is now in real trouble, tories have been utter poison for the country, property will be next to roll over, thinking the other top short has to be builders. I wouldn’t touch anything on the ftse 350 apart from shorting and short term trading, chasing dividends a mugs game, Vod Phnx and direct line anyone?
