Good links, but avoid HL, they are one of the most expensive for S&S ISA! Check out monevator low-cost brokers comparison.

'Royal' Mail fully private
same as lloyds, generally worth consideration would be RMG though I expect they are going to open up competition a bit like they did to BT (who are fighting to retain the net backbone)
Immediate sale and no special offer here, it might lead to weakness in price but I suspect they pass it onto index trackers to start. It might be smart just to buy FTSE every month, as it gets BP cheap and all sorts that can move massively, RMG more passive

some of these early employees at succesful tech firms have made an absolute fortune
granted Balmer was CEO too (though that is partly a function of being an early employee and therefore luck rather than pure meritocracy/skill)
even the grafitti artist at facebook made 100 million or so
I'm pretty sure microsoft had a few secretaries who became millionaires back in the day

They'll most like announce a special dividend and pay it to holders of the shares who own the shares on the record date that they may announce at a future date, or they'll just pay it without announcing a record date.
Very high risk....Iran hasn't been wrecked by war/natural disasters, it's a pretty well developed country as is (as much as Western media likes to make out it's some backwater). Although the thawing of relations with the west is going to potentially lead to a lot of development, it's also possible they do something stupid like a nuke test and you'll probably lose the lot.
I've chucked a fair bit into a fund here after the VW scandal hit the markets. When everyone else sells, buy...unlikely to go too far wrong with that strategy.
HSBC changing their S+S ISA to now include a quarterly feeI cant remember exact but about £15 a month - oddly its not on their website
Trade costs have reduced from 12.95 to 10.95 though
Bloody hell and I thought Interactive Investor were expensive, leave!
It used to be completely free. Is moving shares easy enough?
I expect you'd need to register an account with someone else and fill in a form with HSBC information on, I've never gone through the process myself. Ring up a broker and ask how long it takes. Or ring up HSBC tell them you're going to leave and do they want to re-think their charges
.
So I want to move my S&S from HSBC investdirect to TDwaterhouse, guess the charges mentioned above mean I have a good reason.
I was using the individual accounts to track how much I had made on each share but once they get merged with my other ISa and other normal trading account I guess all that info is lost?
Edit: For example I have Lloyds shares in HSBC acc and in TDwaterhouse, each showing their individual profits. Guess that will all get blurred now and will have to manage it manually!

Did they send you a letter or something? If so can you post it (obviously removing any personal info)
