@Steeple
I would say that the chat on ADVFN has deteriorated over the years but I don’t think that’s ADVFNs fault. LSE has better contributors on balance and the layout of an ADVFN competitor which is censored here I see,let’s call it CashMorning, has merit.As with all bulletin boards,posters invariably fall in love with the stocks they hold.That’s the first and biggest mistake of punters,rose tinted spectacles.Then there’s all the barracking and downright rudeness that takes hold which I’ve tried to avoid over the years.For many,these sites are no more than a sounding board,investment has little to do with it but that’s understandable as long as integrity and simple politeness is retained behind the cloak of anonymity.

Don't disagree but then similar has happened across the boards. At least ADVFN isn;t monitored by Politically Correct fascists as Motley Fool was...half the time many spent reposting moderated/rejected posts o, often on the flimsiest of reasons.

Many left Motley and went to Stockopedia.

I preferred the Motley Fool board layout,and accessibility/navigation style to stockopedias hence I hardly use the site - spending more time here and on Seeking Alpha for US stocks...

Motley is dead board side.

I heard LSE is inhabited by baboons , so is III

Won't go near them.

Far too much rampy posting here across advfn I concur.

All true Marks.

If it wasn’t for the access to overseas markets,I wouldn’t subscribe to ADVFN.You’re right,the research info occasionally has errors.I recently negotiated a reduction in my ADVFN annual premium.It’s now added to the list containing car insurance,boiler cover etc which one has to routinely renegotiate every year.ADVFN is convenient,I have all my global stock prices in one place and in reality the cost is dwarfed by even a moderately poor day in the markets!

I pay for my information from Stockopedia and Morningstar
Not a question of being cheap....the Advfn data is often wrong or incomplete. It always needs checking so If I have to pay for a good source why pay for a wrong one? Mstar also provides research and It and Fund info too in specific sections.
I get live prices from Mstar and from another competitor


I post on a much smaller site that has about 100 regulars and is very civilised and has some proper research...people will spend hours on well crafted posts full of statistics charts etc.

Every now and then we do get a clump of new posters of "Advfn" style - the current team are pumping Bushveld... the sudden rush of "She's gonna blow" and "top up now" etc

Advfn is just fun. It could have been really good but it is the same as it was 10 years ago and has never moved on

Advfn could have forced access to the boards through some sort of identity verification but that would reduce their active accounts and so their advertising revenue. Some of the threads on here are plain faced illegal.

Frequent traders will get l2 from their trading sites so very difficult to tell why anyone would want to pay Advfn for anything.

Looks like a break lower. Woodford on the wrong side yet again?.

[ianood] 20/11/2018 08:09

It's a bit like the Sun, everybody looks at but very few actually buy it!

[gbh2] 20/11/2018 08:09

steeplejack - I paid for premium when I first found advfn but stopped after a few months because the Free BB is the only reason I even use advfn.

You have a point.You know I never realised the “blue”thing

So there we are,all these years on and I’ve been giving credence and merit to a load of geezers who can’t even pay a subscription to get access to a few simple ratios and basic financial details

You know most people get their simple ratios and basic financial details from many sources right? There are so many information sources these days that people use multiple platforms for different aspects of their investment process.

Oh well knowledge,facts and even education can often be over estimated in the world of investment ,eee by gum.

Not sure what the relevance of this to being a blue poster or not is - other than being pretentious as is your wont of course!!!!!

[steeplejack] 20/11/2018 00:13

All these posts on all these boards,all these people claiming such substantial holdings in numerous stocks.

And yet the greater majority clearly aren’t even “premium”; members of the ADVFN sites,timed out I presume with restricted access,despite the business acumen of which they boast.

Using these sites to propound their secular views for no cost,are they not sandwich board folk of sorts.

[gerdmuller] 19/11/2018 22:09

By the way and just to add. Alan Partridge once called the daily mail the best paper in the world. No more words needed.

[gerdmuller] 19/11/2018 21:59

Judging by the comments on Europe it looks like we may be in the presence of some highly intelectual Daily Mail readers. And I'm sure if that's not an oxymoron. Is it????

[battue2] 19/11/2018 15:56

It is very foolish and arrogant to assume education goes hand in hand with wisdom.

[cousin jack] 19/11/2018 11:35

@EI:

HPI ? meaning House Price Inflation or am I missing something more obvious ?

[essentialinvestor] 19/11/2018 10:25

Any HPI softness is going to hit the P&L with cost inflation running at around 4% atm.

[jugears] 19/11/2018 10:24

tradejunkie- No problem

[essentialinvestor] 19/11/2018 10:23

Bought a very small amount of BDEV, however it may not
be the time to be brave atm.

If we do leave without a deal another 15-25% lower for the sector imv.

[tradejunkie2] 19/11/2018 10:10

Hard Brexit or nothing

[jugears] 19/11/2018 09:51

m4rtinu, There is no factual evidence that a good or bad deal will have significant effect on the uk, I voted out I think a clean start is the best way forward, even if it means a bit of short term hardship,I don't see companys abroad changing suppliers for there uk manufactured goods & may not be able to source there goods elsewhere even. Uk manufactured goods are sort after around the world we have a much bigger market to look forward to than just Europe, whatever happens you will never please everyone. IMHO I think that Brexit will hit London & the South the most, but as I am from the Midlands Where all the proper companies are based I.e Not banking & finance, I think our area will prosper because up here we live in the real world & just get on with Our business whatever happens, unlike the girls blouses down south that think to much rather than getting on with things, If you mean job losses in the banking & finance sector then that's good.

[blueteam] 19/11/2018 09:47

See that this is the pick of the sector by so called experts as 'debt falling, large land portfolio, secure divi, good pe'. yes the experts !!! See £1.50 as the bottom area but does not mean it cant get lower and would buy on any dip.

[m4rtinu] 19/11/2018 09:20

I think it is reckless and possibly selfish to want a NO DEAL Brexit. Especially as it is recognised that there would be years of hardship before any trade deals are struck. What about people who would lose their jobs and indeed their businesses in the meantime. Are they just "cannon-fodder"!?

There were false promises made by both sides in the referendum campaign but now we know a bit more about what leaving would entail. Did we really think the EU would offer us an easy route out? Now we have a clear choice: stay in; TM's deal or no deal.

[jugears] 19/11/2018 08:40

Porch- after reading your comment it reiterates why I will be glad to leave the Eu, IMHO if we had a referendum now even more people would vote leave.Where I live we will be having 24 hour celebrations when we leave DEAL or NO DEAL !

[tradejunkie2] 19/11/2018 08:31

Well this is going well .... I see the Brexit discussions travels far and between.
