Yes agreed comdirect slightly more expensive than imi per trade but makes up
in usually slightly better prices on sells and buys. I use both imi and
comdirect but not for long . IMI has gone downhill since being taken over by
Halifax and I am in the process of kicking them to the kerb as one previous
poster has said I will not be touching them with a barge pole, quite simply
they will cost you money....

Seeing mention of DLJ on this thread brings a tear to my eye, the best EO broker I have ever used. Sniff! ( Bought by TD Waterhouse...but I closed my account because TD were pants! )

comdirect is probably the best EO broker around nowadays.

Yep agredd about the SMS alerts. I set one up in the morning for Fibernet limits 95-110 price then was 100-102 and no sooner had i set them and logged off and was getting ready to leave... beep beep. I recieve two sms's from imi web telling me that fibernet has reached the limits x and x. Bloody heck.

Does work sometimes though and useful when it works properly.

Generally speaking ok though I have been surprised to find myself paying a toppy price compared to others in TRADES,though that is since they were taken over by Halifax. They also appear to have lost a bundle of my shares.I telephoned two weeks ago and emailed last week without a reply. I think I will now try COMDIRECT too!

I use Imiweb, they seem ok to me. I joined as they were offering free 1 months gold advfn service :)

And also they refund any transfer out fees you have incured and their comminsion at a tenner a shot is not do bad either.

Do yourself a favour go with Comdirect. Very good compared to imi who are
the worst online I have used

After some consolidation for the past few weeks they've now broken through to their highest share price for 5 years. Looks like the work that aceofdiamonds refers to is paying dividends (literally! still yield over 4.5%)

This group has undergone a major restructuring over the last two and a half years following the appointment of a new chief exec. MJLamb. They have brought a new focus to their streamlined activities, strengnthened and reinforced by a series of divestments and acquisitions. There is a real move to added value business areas coupled with investment in low cost manufacturing principally driven by relocation (Eastern Europe, China, Mexico). Their trading performance (and share price) is significantly ahead of sector performance. This is one engineering business that might have it right. A visit to their web site makes interesting reading.

Very close to making new high for nearly 5 years. They're into fluid controls and retail dispense equipment. Recent trading update from 30th June is below, not greatly exciting but someone likes them at the moment.

LONDON (AFX) - IMI PLC said first-half profit before rationalisation and
restructuring, goodwill amortisation and exceptional items will be ahead of 66.0
mln stg reported last year, with like-for-like sales remaining steady at similar
levels to last year.
In a trading update ahead of the release of its first-half to June 30
results on Sept 8, the company said it saw improved volumes in Fluid Controls
but this was offset by the expected reduction in Retail Dispense.
At Fluid Controls, it saw a healthy growth in the order book in Severe
Service with record levels of forward business being booked for 2004 and beyond.
In Fluid Power, new products and sector initiatives have resulted in modest
volume growth despite a flat market.
At Retail Dispense, sales were lower than 2002 in Beverage Dispense and
trading is somewhat subdued with demand in the US food service sector remaining
particularly soft.
For the full year rationalisation costs are still expected to be less than
10 mln stg, compared with 32.2 mln a year ago. Around 3 mln will be incurred in
the first half.

Why the price movements interday??

[onceaplayer] 21/2/2003 11:14

Some large buys over the asking price! Does someone know something we don't?

[pallett] 08/1/2003 17:40

Some one does not appear to know who IMI or Imiweb is, must be very confused, poor person.

[chaz99] 25/11/2002 20:37

The IMI with EPIC IMI is an old-economy engineering company, not IMIWeb

[alanfenwick] 19/10/2002 01:13

Mmm! I'm running out of ideas.
Think I'll be back as slurping sid.

All the other secure sites I use are OK. They don't seem to know that there is a problem.
