NOT Tara, he holds for a deal, when this tiny company should fly.

1.75p bid only. He who sold 250,000 last week at 3.5p must be well pleased. (tara?) He who bought 88,000 at 4.5p must be gutted though.

Kenny,
I am with HL also - and find them pretty good for online dealing, but, I don't buy large quantities like you do !!!
I have been watching your postings with interest - you certainly seem to have picked some winners recently, and, like you, I have also bought into CARE, as I feel that it has been hugely oversold.
Regards
Steve

Looks like the share price is having a reality check today. Good luck to those of you who have nmade a speculative punt. Patience is a virtue and I think you'll need patience to see this get to even 10p.

Yeah, well its been a mixed bag..I was very happy with the first operator who took my call to buy Leo..he explained even about the three market makers and their different spreads (they were all over the place), and remarked that it looked entiely posible that the one MM out of line with the others would re-align with them, cutting the offer price significantly, discussed market size for dealing,made sure I spent £499 not £500 because of the fees..and generally made me entirely comfortable with their service...I felt I had a broker rather than a telephone person

In fact, I wonder if he didn't say that because the share could not be traded online, (or some other distinction that amounts to the same thing), I would not be paying the usual phone in rates. Because I did not have a choice. I better look into that as I made two more buys, and just got told I would pay the telephone dealing rate, bad luck. That ring any bells with anyone?

dupree...

my first year with Hargreaves... most of my portfolio is my SIPP..

[loverat] 04/2/2010 18:38

Dupree

That does sound like alot of hassle. I am reading stories like that all the time.

It seems to me that many people have brokers living in the 1900's. Hargreaves sound O.K but from what Kenny was saying they got their knickers in a twist because he made multiple trades.

We are paying these people and some of them have no concept of customer service. I would tell them to shove it.

[dupree] 04/2/2010 18:35

Oh. I was about to amalgamate my stuff at Barclays. But I can always do that and move again. I was Schwab originally.
It always strikes me that they might tell me more about my CGT liable activities. Unless I am missing something. Barclays Wealth do it very nicely, but it expensive as I don't listen to their advice. Do Hargreaves write up your CGT things nicely?

[kennyruss] 04/2/2010 18:02

barclays suck.... couldn't wait until I got my funds moved..

Hargreaves have been great apart from them not liking multiple trades online..

Re Barclays, I got one very helpful chap who considered it normal that they could not be bought online, and I think it did it sort of manually himself (went to the market) while I held and then reported back a price, having given guidance about market size for dealing and fees. No stres.
the next time I got a woman who couldn't handle it being not available on line and insisted she had got it online while I waited, which was not apparent at my end, and had a very poor customer manner and tried to deal with me as an automaton (her). Not user friendly and it kept sounding to me like I was to commit to paying the headline quoted spread. Anyway I survived, but iritated and stressed.
The third time was different again, and the Barclays staff could not provide a price at all while I held, but I had to leave an order with a limit and max spend, so of course that got placed while the price was declining...I did get the stock. But at that point a nother half hour delay would have got them significantly cheaper, so it wasn't entirely satisfactory, but there we are. Hindsight has a way of changing history!

tara - working your wonders at CSS, too !?!

(Take a look at INVU - touched all time low - capped under £1mln)

[tara7] 04/2/2010 13:20

No idea, but MM are on the run so have to ring.

[geng] 04/2/2010 13:19

barclays have this as not available for online dealing - has this always been the case?

[tara7] 04/2/2010 10:17

You want to buy a lump at 2p, or £140,000 for the whole company.!! You will have a long wait.!!

[linney3] 04/2/2010 10:14

Bit of a contradiction there Lily82!

[kennyruss] 04/2/2010 10:14

just depends whether the seller has finished or not lily82.. hopefully an RNS will confirm either way..

[lily82] 04/2/2010 09:55

Dreamt to get in below 2p! have to wait for some time. I am sure i can get that price. GLA anyway

[tara7] 04/2/2010 09:35

That tiny 25,000 buy was .033% of the company or .07% of the free float, so one can see what will happen with a few buys each day.

[kennyruss] 04/2/2010 09:31

could have got 100k at 3.35 earlier no chance now

[tara7] 04/2/2010 09:26

MM put the bid up at 9.02am, delayed buy, or order gone in , we might know at 10.02am.

[loverat] 04/2/2010 09:26

Zitec - I heard Tara has been invited on the board - that makes 3 in total.

[zitec] 04/2/2010 09:20

How many staff, directors, management in this company in total

[olly2] 04/2/2010 09:18

just got a few more at 3.4 .spread is much better now..

[tara7] 04/2/2010 09:08

Up she goes.

[tara7] 04/2/2010 08:45

Sorry, but did tell you. Look at it like this, now the big seller has gone , getting hold of £5k worth will be very hard indeed at any price.
