Thanks phil, HL don't charge any fee & £11.95 per trade or £8.95 for 10-19 trades then reduces to £5.95. I don't trade much, hence reason for thinking of moving from TDD/ii.

[philanderer] 30/10/2017 10:28

morning free, never used HL , my main lot are with Selftrade , they charge 0.3% of portfolio value per quarter.... £11.75 per trade.

Morning All,

O/T - Has anyone used Hargreaves Lansdown? Anything negative about them? As I'm thinking of transferring my share Portfolio to them from TDD (TDW) as II has taken them over and forcing you to pay £22.50 per quarter from 11 December.

TIA

Shorts didn't buy back in Debenhams, what was interesting in Debs is UK profits fallen by 22% on last year.

'Retail Sales Falling At Fastest Pace Since 2009, While Wages Climb'

UK retail sales are tumbling faster than at any time since the height of the financial crisis as industry pay rises faster than the rest of the economy, two industry surveys revealed on Thursday.

In the year to October, retail sales plummeted to -36, the lowest since March 2009, according to the Confederation of British Industry's distributive trades survey, which was down from a +42 the month before and disappointed expectations for further expansion.

Recreational goods and hardware & DIY were the best performing sectors, with the main falls coming from department stores and specialist food & drink.

Qantas,

Debenhams results next week should give an insight as to the state of the High St. I happen to think Debenhams, Marks, House of Fraser, John Lewis in similar ball parks. John Lewis slightly different as more upmarket.

I say things are tough and will get tougher next year as economy worsens. Retail not the place to be until a big player hits the wall.

No U in Qantas Queensland and Northern Territories Aerial Services Ltd.

Yes you may as Debenhams and Marks and Spencer are both up market.

Perhaps you may be lower market and you have been caught with your shorts down.

You will soon be able to buy a house with Marks & Spencer, after the retail giant's banking arm announced plans to launch a mortgage range. The company better known for selling groceries and underwear will roll out its first mortgage products early next year, subject to regulatory approval. - Telegraph

This is not just a mortgage; it’s an M&S mortgage
