It's insane The management costs are all in the accounts |
spoole - I've just emailed HICL again about this.
"This stock is currently unavailable to buy. MIFID II regulations requires HL to display relevant information about costs and charges. At present we are unable to access this data therefore we cannot make this stock available for further investment. If you already hold this investment, you can continue to hold it, and sell it at any time, but you cannot buy any more at present." |
I'd wait and let the dust settle as it could drift back. |
Annoying I couldn't top this up with BBGI cash, HL not allowing me to buy, why the restrictions? Topped up GCP INPP SHED |
Seems I picked a decent entry point for a change ,infra is far too cheap built up a decent holding in DORE and GCP as well as GSF ,NESF ,FGEN a scatter gun approach I know but it worked with the PE stocks when their discount was too high. |
Possibly the deal at BBGI? |
Anyone know why we're almost 5% up so far today? |
Back onboard today looking like a nice entry point at 112.51 ,think that if I had waited with interest rates heading lower it will have moved against me. |
Nice to see this moving off of the recent lows. |
i already have it campervan, which is nice for once! i am wondering if there is any major player in the scene. so if not i want to buy more bbox, as long as there current manager stays there. their footprint and (as yet undeveloped) sites would fit very nicely indeed
apols for the indirect question! |
SF: have a look at BBOX and the announcement on 21st Jan. Looks promising. |
no probs buying on idealing, very cheap platform, but not the easiest interface to use.
i am not sure i want all of what is in their portfolio, but historically it has fallen a lot, especially for something which used to be a tipster favorite. suspect they will start mentioning it again when the share price is showing an upwards rather than downwards trend.
they do say they have some data centre interest, and of all the infrastructure around, that is what i'd like to get more exposure to. anyone willing to share ideas? |
iWeb, which is owned and backed by Lloyd’s is a reasonable stockbroking platform. They have no Isa charges, and charge £5 to trade. No problem buying HICL. Can’t believe how much they’ve dropped since I last looked at them. I’ll keep them on my watch for now and look out for any key announcement as to the reason for the worse than normal performance |
At least Affinity are paying a dividend now. Was the market hoping for a more generous pay out ? |
I am about 10% down (a bit less on a total return basis, after dividend).
I hoped I had got in at the bottom, with the prospect of a decent capital gain if the vely g=high discount to NAV narrows and a decent income.
Maybe i shall come to bless HL for not allowing me to buy more! |
Yep Grim Reinvestment PFI returns of capital into a water company wasn't great |
a 15-year low
2020 +1%
2021 +1.5%
2022 -6.9%
2023 -15.7%
2024 -14.3%
2025 -8.6% so far |
Seems to me no broker is perfect ie no MM trades on IB which can be costly
so I have 2 brokers. |
Yep I pay £2 per £100k in fx trades at IBKR UK brokers are £500-1.5k for that That really adds up quickly |
tag 57 - I have just requested the transfer so it's going to take a while for things to get transferred over. I guess it depends what you want to do. I'm just doing basic buy/hold no leverage mainly UK so will be fine for that I'm sure. If you want international probably best to look elsewhere for a pro account bc most of the UK retail brokers over-charge for the FX |
I'm mainly using IBKR as a professional investor Zero restrictions - can buy US ETFs too -m Still have the old fisher price HL account - but don't use it much - it's good if you want to buy an AIM listed or small cap company - but it's usually not good to actually go and do that |
Also why unlike BBGI and INPP there's been next to no divi growth here over last few years |
Yep it's the largest investment and it's the reason why the cash divi coverage for been low for last few years |
And HL is unavailable this morning...... |
Budd, how are you finding AJB vs HL? I am thinking about switching as having the same issue with HL. |
