Nice timing...nice timing by the director to buy at 2.44 :)

[peterbill] 23/11/2010 09:15

I don't see how they can maintain this growth ... is it all on commission charges???

Lloyds inherited 60% stake from HBOS so has a vested interest in promoting STJ

Could all end in tears, or am I missing something?

[old joe1] 18/11/2010 15:46

Might be worth a dabble on STJ (st james). Notice how it trades between 245p/250p and a top of 290p. Done this 4 times previously. Set up for a spread bet ot a cfd here looking for 40 points or so.

i have just been to their seminar today good presentation but take with a pinch

[scemer] 23/6/2010 20:15

mryesyes your a bit off the mark here,they look after me very well their guy is mid thirties and his advise last year pulled me a 28% return on my pension. i can only say good things about them. I hold their stock

[mryesyes] 11/5/2010 01:10

This makes its money by selling investment plans with very low returns to rich old people, it claims to only charge them 1.5% but actually makes its money by keeping most of the returns it actually makes.
The hook for the rich upper middle class punters is that a salesman who is old than Bruce Forsyth, and thinks he has the right touch, but is actually very corny, throws in IHT planning, tax avoidance not evasion.
Sounds like a scam waiting to be identified as such. Would not be surprised if LLOY unloads its 60% to the sharks at these prices in an MBO

[cwa1] 21/4/2010 08:45

Seemed pretty decent to me so I decided to take a modest stake first thing. Good luck to all holders.
