Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

Im still holding onto some VAL for 0p after i topsliced on the spike in feburary, just a few hundered quid but still climbing nicely

Hopefully a big week for CNR, RNS due by Thursday
 
I used to use Halifax, but that was a while ago and can no longer remember what they're like. The reasons HSBC are rubbish (and so I'm looking for a broker that does these things) are:

- Limit orders are only valid for 1 day unless you call up
- You can only have one limit order per security
- You can't amend or cancel limit orders online
- You can't sell a security if you already have a limit order in place
 
HSBC is a investing account, not a trading account. I like using it but I think it's cause Im used to it.

YELL are flying today, not sure what news there is causing it though. not had change to dive into the detail
 
Can anyone explain how a share ISA works with regards to the limit? I know £10,200 is the ISA limit but does that just refer to the initial investment? What if you sell some shares after 6 months @ 20k total, does the excess fall back to your bank account leaving 10.2k to trade with again or can you trade with the full 20k?

^^ Indeed. Thanks to novice for the initial tip and info.

I have an auto sell set @ 1.40p, but tempted to cancel that and see what happens.

The way things are going you might have hit that by Wednesday, before any news has been released. That said, profit is profit. What was your entry point if you don't mind me asking?
 
I have 1541 shares in RBS. It's small fry. If I sell now I currently stand on making 25% return, which on the face of it isn't huge but keeps me happy.

I'm thinking of selling to release those funds for further investments in a high risk:reward ratio. Those funds are ones I can afford to loose. ATM I am looking into one of the Falklands exploration companies.

Entered @ 0.9, not a huge volume (50,000 units). Like you say, profit's profit and I'm selling out of all until I've read the Naked Trader book that arrived today. Only in ORE and JJB still (sold RKH last week).

£10,200 is the limit for the cash INTO an ISA for this tax year. You can sell shares and have 20k and then reinvest the cash in more shares as long as the money doesn't leave the 'cash account' part of the ISA.

I'm hoping to exit RRL shortly and get back in via my ISA allowance that's left for this year.
 
Well it looks like using CNR to recover some of my early year losses is going to plan for once!

I just wish i would invest in those shares i add to my watch list, i usually pick good uns but do nowt about it and get left with the lame ducks. GRR!
 
Anyone still in GVC? Tasty rise this morning off the excellent update which shows strong growth in profits and confirms the dividend for these 6 months will be held at 10 cents per share
Good times :)
