Afternoon all, I have a Hargreaves Lansdown JISA for my boy, I put in his first £25 this week but for some reason all the investments I want to deal with won't do any less than £100 :confused:

any idea why please?

Yikes, off the back potential changes in UK Cash / S&S ISAs. Just heard on LBC, that the CEO of AstraZeneca is contemplating de-listing from the UK for the US. Considering it is the highest market cap on the FTSE, that will properly spook the government!

e: Guardian link with story.

Just cash ISA. S&S ISA isn’t being changed.

There's literally no mention of ISA changes on that story, and the changes that are floating about the rumour mill are just to cash ISA, not S&S.

I honestly don't know how you have connected that article with ISAs.

I think a lot of the funds have a min of £100. The only problem is if you go to ETF / shares they charge a £11.99 dealing fee. Thought this is waved if its a regular contribution via DD.

Funds are good at the start but as the pot gets bigger look to move to a ETF. They cap ETF fees but not fund fees.

It was a more broader comment on the possibility that the largest cap company on the FTSE may delist to the US. Not a great indicator of confidence in the UK markets and against the backdrop of the supposed changes and efforts by the UK chancellor to promote UK investment (including reducing cash ISAs in favour of pushing for S&S ISA in the UK market).

The regulations and red tape needs looking at. Clearly it’s not competitive with US stock exchanges.

AHH ok cheers bud, seems a bit of a pain in the backside, might just have to put the cash in there and just leave it to grow on the 3% ISH over the years

It's usually just an initial £100 then you can do £25 a month after that....

It would be a hammer blow for sure. But doesnt make much sense if its about valuation, AZN is not lowly valued.

More about regulation and liquidity probably, stamp duty means poor liquidity which is really hurting the London market right now.

I remember you posting about HOOD last year, was less than $20 if I remember correctly. They are growing in the UK now with an ISA imminent. I wish I had paid more attention at the time to their potential, I can see them being $100+ by the end of year

almost 100 now

They a monster.

Robinhood is now offering tokenized shares of OpenAI and SpaceX to users in Europe, sending its shares up nearly 13% to a new all-time high.

The company is marking the launch by giving 5 euros worth of OpenAI and SpaceX tokens to every eligible user in the EU who onboards to trade stock tokens by July 7.

This marks the first time Robinhood has tokenized private companies, enabled by the EU’s looser investor restrictions.

While U.S. users can’t access tokenized equity yet, Robinhood has reintroduced crypto staking — previously blocked by the SEC — for ethereum and solana.

only small cash but huge gainer. I must have re-bought at the 5th of may so easy money.

I only bought a few hundred £ of all my usual stocks as I wasnt really expecting the market to recover so fast.

probably should have kept buying as it went up but whatever.

rocketlabs still doing good too, I'm up 60% in the same timeframe, most my other stocks up 20-30%

I think there will be a lot of dumping today. A few climbed quickly over the last couple of days and US market closed early at 5pm today (UK time) and all tomorrow. I had some in Microstrategy, but took the profits for now. Will rebuy after the dive

decmatt · 6 Jul 2025 at 13:01

Made 62% in about 4 days with a company called Carmat (Hearts), but I think they are going to pull the plug at opening time Monday so will probably lose it for about 6 months and get whatever.

After their shenanigans in the $GME fiasco, I'll never trust that company again. This is one of those companies that flies high, and then goes pop one day, like FTX. Mark my words.

Asset entities tacking off today, up 44% so far. They recently started up a bitcoin treasury so could go big. I took a punt on them a few months back. Hopefully something will come of it

EDIT: 80% now. That isn't being driven by retail. Someone knows something we dont.

Get out when the going is good… Patrick Boyle reported this money glitch this week.

1 Companies are buying bitcoin..
2 the value of bitcoin goes up,
3 making their coins more valuable,
4 therefore the company value goes up,
5 they issue shares at the higher value
6 with the money from the shares GOTO 1

The theory is that once the bitcoins availible on the market run out the value will go through the roof. Especially with countries now starting to collect them.

I know someone who made well over a million with a combination of bitcoins and Microstrategy (and then retired before 40). But it's probably to late now. These companies buying up loads of BC could also dump loads of BC. When individuals were buying them it wasn't really possible to crash the market.
