Frustratingly been prevented by Barclays Stockbrokers from topping up MVI today. No option to pass a test, just a blanket response that company policy was to not trade at all in MVI, though they would let us sell our current holding if we wanted, which was kind of them.

Bought our original holding through Barclays around 2 years ago, so something has clearly changed in that time.

TDW - update, can be held in an ISA just that they hadn't set it up across all my a/c's when I was previously interrogated.

Not being able to remember the term sophisticated investor ought to disqualify me any way!

[soundbuy] 27/3/2015 10:42

Ho ho :)

Just put in an order through TDW and coming up with message that this can't be held in an ISA.

Hold in my general trading a/c.

Is this correct?

Don't forget the Iris reader, SoundBuy.
At least you don't have to go through this!..............

TDW - the same, have to go through a short Q&A session, psychological testing, assault course and full medical and only then are you able to buy.....

Specialist Fund Market. Aimed at sophisticated investors.

Its a specialist investment, or whatever the technical term is, so you need to have answered the "do you really know what you are doing" questions with your account provider. I had to do this with HL to buy more convertible stock I already owned so I think the rules tightened up in 2014.

Looked at the Triangle chart patterns here and thought the targets looked worthwhile and achievable, however Halifax share dealing say they no longer deal in the is share. Has anyone else bought these through Halifax?

I could try ordering on the phone, but expect there then might be similar difficulties selling. I guess others buying here are using different brokers. I mention this for info's sake, because it might have some effect on potential volume and liquidity. gla

HAV - seen opening at 150p+ this am. on relisting.......

[badtime] 26/3/2015 20:05

Lol...i was just teasing ..Sky rang me instead :)

[eeza] 26/3/2015 17:55

Looks like you've slipped down the pecking order, BT.

[tiltonboy] 26/3/2015 17:29

SKYSHIP,
I did, thank you.

[badtime] 26/3/2015 17:10

Sky I didn't get your email :)

[skyship] 26/3/2015 16:49

So...to put matters into context, the HAV contribution to our NAV (inc. the new shares) was 26p as at 6th March - presumably all valued at 150p. Another good earner; though of course it is the future of ETO which continues to control the MVI share price

[skyship] 26/3/2015 16:39

Tilts - DOH - only read db's link!

Hopefully you received my Tuesday's email...

[tiltonboy] 26/3/2015 14:54

SKYSHIP,

Read the announcement!

[skyship] 26/3/2015 14:47

db - well spotted

enviro - where do you get the 150p from?

[envirovision] 26/3/2015 13:09

I wonder if MVI will be increasing its stake in the placing Haversham will be doing, clearly a £1.50 placing is a distinct premium to its suspended share price.

Even if MVI don't get involved in the placing when it reopened there should be a nice uplift in the share price and MVI's nav will benefit.

SKY thanks for the mention on SHA, caught napping yesterday (

[hpcg] 24/3/2015 12:06

Went into BBOX. I have adjusted my rules recently and I am getting much sharper at dropping shares which are drifting. This does mean I might miss out on value opportunities but firstly I need to cut out the loss makers.

[skyship] 24/3/2015 10:51

hpcg - sorry to read that - happens to us all, or certainly does to me more often than I would care to mention/remember! Perversely the ETO chart was beginning to look rather positive, as indeed I posted on the ETO thread...

Hopefully you reinvested in something also doing well.

I sold my minor holding last week with the ETO chart not looking great. Ho hum.
