I have been torn the biggest new one out there. Despite being almost solely in single names, I've matched the performance of the world equity index, was worried I'd done far worse! HL a bit of light on another awful day

AJB - i quote 'the negative impact on revenue and profit before tax of the reduction in base rate will be partly mitigated by the maturity profile and type of existing fixed term deposits and notice accounts utilised'

[ochs] 12/3/2020 20:27

I averaged down for a small amount at 1195p today, very good value for medium term at these levels. What did people make of AJ Bell's statement last night, especially the talk of the lower base rate hurting revenue/profits?

[growthpotential] 12/3/2020 13:18

Seriously though, why would people sell every stock at these levels they must be mad

Suns out here in Spain, weather warming up across europe, this will soon be over, whole thing completely over hyped, insane, problem with social media “ juicing “ it. 17k die of normal flu each year in uk, this has killed 4k in three months across the world, get real.

Eventually they will. Mankind is facing a pandemic of unimaginable magnitude and suffering, combined with a world drowning in debt, that has zero chance of being repaid. It is absolutely vital that you put family first , particular children We are not far off, forced sellers of ALL ASSETS, (bar Gold , for immediate delivery) Paper gold, might as well be flushed down the toilet. I have no predictions on the outcome of this terrible virus. I do have some predictions on the likely financial outcomes 1/ Most shares are not far off worthless as profits will be extinguished for years, even then, investors might pay a pe of 3 for the the best growth stocks. 2/ Most bonds ( company and government ) worthless as everyone defaults. 3/ House Tiny values after banks go bust and stop lending. No one has a job. 4/ Land for food production has some value but needs to be protected. Trust in business goes down the pan in a straight line, world trade dries up as everyone wants to be paid up front. The only medium of exchange for goods and services that CAN BE TRUSTED BY ALL is, GOLD. No one wants printed sheets of toilet paper. ( money It’s about to turn on a sixpence. Governments will furnish the world with yet more, free cash, but they can’t control the mindset of the people, or the virus. From now on, it’s about staying alive and doing your bit for others

I'm pretty sure we've been through this all before back in 2009 with swine flu...

Have picked up a few, now at the exact price I said on here they would get to, I thought it would be the Woodford fiasco but its that the virus and that other idiot brexit virus Peter Hargreaves unloading, if he continues with that alot more shares to hit the market and dilution. Hopefully he can stay out of the press for a while now.

Woodford also stank

They no longer charge to close accounts The rot was their, and now they are going to pay for it Hundreds of thousands of investors have been hoodwinked by this companies marketing material.

[jonwig] 09/3/2020 14:33

FWIW... a good few posters on boards for shares I'm interested in are saying they've been unable to deal on HL's platform today, and will switch.

[intelinvestor] 09/3/2020 10:49

pretty steep fall today chaps.

[ochs] 06/3/2020 12:26

They no longer charge clients to close accounts? Many of their competitors still do.

[1 nhs] 06/3/2020 12:04

This is one of the worst for stitching up clients. Those poor investors will now see just how dippy they were buying into this growth story . Charging investors to close accounts stank

Nick's keen:But during the AGM Train defended the platform group as "a magnificent business"."This is going to be one of the big winners for Finsbury," he said. "And in a sense, I neither know nor care what Hargreaves shareholders do. I own it because we believe in that business model."Https://portfolio-adviser.com/nick-train-reflects-on-painful-question-about-potential-hargreaves-conflict/

Yeh, more and more people using DIY platforms to invest their pensions. Holding this secular growth story and being paid to wait with the growing dividend

[porsche1945] 04/3/2020 14:31

Wouldnt take too much notice of jefferies, they are all hopeless but jefferies particularly so, i think they had aston martin at about 22 quid haha.

Savage downgrade by Jeffries? hxxps://www.stockmarketwire.com/article/6812428/Broker-Forecast-Jefferies-International-issues-a-broker-note-on-Hargreaves-Lansdown-PLC.html

[growthpotential] 04/3/2020 10:39

Why is this down on an up day?

[porsche1945] 03/3/2020 21:45

@ochs. Im closed on HL, shorts on airlines and hotels which have a long way to go down yet, but feel we are near the bottom for everything else, China now has this under control, ur gonna have retards like 1nhs thinking its the end but it isnt, uk has particular problems related to the brexit fiasco but the US could soon be back at highs and beyond.... normal flu kills 50k a year this has killed 3k in 3 months....perspective.

People need to stop running round in circles and stop panicking. We are what 6-7% off. It's not even a correction atm
