I have dealt with Hargreaves for years. I have just transferred a Selftrade ISA to Hargreaves such is my satisfaction and confidence in them.

Looking for some advice, I'm thinking of changing my broker. I'm looking for some recommendations. I use the motley fool at the mo. I don't trade that often. What I want is a good, easy to use platform with easy to set stop losses etc. I was thinking of Hargreaves lansdown, mainly because they have an offer on transferring an ISA and they have an mobile app.M

If one of your properties went up £140k then perhaps you should sell after
All its only profit if you sell

Otherwise you will be watching it go down £140k or more and kicking yourself

How much is enough?assuming you are telling the truth

Firstly hello to all fellow investors and traders.

Secondly I'm afraid I have some bad news. Yes that's right guys, it's a dreaded questionnaire!

I am doing a master's thesis on communications within online financial communities and would really appreciate your help.

Please could you aid with my research by taking 2-3 minutes out of your day to complete the below questionnaire?



Of course I am more than willing to share the results of the study with anyone who is interested. Just indicate the same at the end of the questionnaire.

Thank you very, very much for your help.



P.S. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at jaw73(at)aber.ac.uk

I confirm that all responses remain strictly ANONYMOUS and that no personal information with be associated with your responses. This study is purely for research purposes with no commercial gain to myself (unfortunately!)

Motoring on now.

The troll will be back under the bridge again.....

[taffee] 06/8/2014 13:30

as I understand it this is a discussion board for opinions including what lies in the future....I happily read bullish arguments including the belief that prices will go up not down over the next few years

I dont find bulls opinions tiresome as I believe in debate and free speech

The fact is that currently the share price is going down which means the bulls are wrong

[el1te] 06/8/2014 12:34

With all due respect taffee, I am sure we have all considered your line of thought and have either noted it, or dismissed it. We are free to remain bullish on housebuilders if we wish, and lose a large chunk if we are wrong. It's just that you seem to be keen on repeating the same lines over and over, which can become tiresome

The simple fact is that, even though the share price has stalled at just over 100p for a number of months, the shares are towards the top of their trading range, and that does not suggest that "traders know what's going on". In fact, when a share price is at towards the top of its trading range (2 yr, 5yr) it signals overall market confidence.

We are free to make our own decisions, so I'm sure that we would appreciate if you didn't tell us that we are wrong (perhaps prematurely). By all means come back if house prices crash and gloat, but you can't tell us we are wrong in advance. People have been calling the top of the housing market for the last three years.

The banks said all this.in 2007 but underlying was a major problem
Not.yet hightlighted in results....same with builder and probably banks now...
House prices are grossly overpriced and sellers are starting to slash prices
Builders and banks.will.struggle to deal with falling prices

Traders know what's going on and that's why tw and others are falling

The shareprice is TELLING you what's going on

UK house prices up 10% from last year

The UK housing market continues to bloom. House prices in the three months to July were more than 10% higher than the same period last year, beating economist forecasts. Prices rose 1.4% in July after a 0.4% drop in June. Stephen Noakes, mortgages director at Halifax, said:

"While supply remains low, housing demand continues to be supported by a continuing economic recovery, growth in employment, improving consumer confidence and low mortgage rates. However, earnings growth is still lagging behind consumer price inflation."

The average house price was £186,322.

Prices could fall for 10-20 years imo unless wages suddenly jump...be careful
Burst bubbles don't bounce back quickly
================================================

taffee ,prices could fall for 10 or 20 years ,you really are being a fool now ,you are talking about a share price that is fluctuating between 105 / 120 ish and you think it's all doom and gloom .
You and your mate bobsian can go on as much as you like but ,,, we live on an island that everyone wants to live on (unfortunately) London is a financial powerhouse and foreigners want to pump their cash in to this place ..

[edlndn] 05/8/2014 14:22

Gbh2, thanks for the explanation. Shorting is not easy though imo!

[taffee] 05/8/2014 14:10

isn't the more worrying thing that service sector is 78% of the economy?....so
much for balancing!

whose doing all the productive work?

[gbh2] 05/8/2014 13:41

ed, imo they need to make money all year round and at times like these the only way is by shorting, snag with TW is that there are so many shares on the market I very much doubt that shorting action will show up on the FCA spreadsheet.

Just my opinion, always willing to read alternative views.

[edlndn] 05/8/2014 13:28

Gbh2, I don't know. It's a genuine question. Is it the fact that the HFs have a high proportion of shares so they sell to drive price down and then buy a load back later at a lower price?

[gbh2] 05/8/2014 13:12

ed, if you don't know then you may have an alternative opinion, if so you're welcome to it.
