Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

Right now its not changed anything because it'll take a long time, so long as they proceed with care I dont see it has to cause damage or lack of confidence. Theres always the idea of talk causing a problem, but it should not be so fragile to begin with ideally. Carney says this is not 2008 with significant changes since then, bad debts have to be addressed in any case

Just listening to a trader from Manchester talking through his view of the markets, young father Ive followed him since 2008. If your interested in his experience, views today, have a listen maybe

If I wanted to buy a handful of stocks in different companies, how would I go about doing that? Also, how do you buy and sell currency without going to physical buy it?
 
Prior to Brexit Barlcays and Deutsche in presentations that I attended anticipated a GBP / USD of 1.14-1.24 : 1. Is this fall yet to come or have we seen the biggest GBP drop do you think?

I've set up currency accounts with Currencies Direct and UKForex, I did a couple of test transfers yesterday - money from CD came in same day, money from UKF came in just now but is less than I expected so I need to speak with UKF.

Edit: Spoke to UKF and my bank, it seems the routing bank charged a fee (in both cases it was Wells Fargo), but my bank couldn't tell me why WF had charged on one transaction and not on the other or how that fee was calculated.

If you wanted to take advantage you should have sold yesterday when stocks rallied then bought today. Of course if the result went the other way stocks would have been up further.

I did have a couple of stop losses in place, but that didn't work out. Ouch!
 
Just buy the FTSE100 is simply the best thing. There are various other indexes but nothing really wrong with doing that. Also its best to invest every month not once off and/or reinvest dividends.
Holding an index usually works better as it adjusts over time and its very low cost

Holding shares is a form of non Sterling holding I think. BP pays in dollars though it comes to you in sterling, most of these companies have earnings all around the world. You dont have to hold the notes yourself, thats usually a pain again I think an index is cheapest.
I have a emerging market debt index fund, I guess that'll show higher as sterling registers at a lower value for today. Potentially its risky, depends on management but also that sterling and dollar are weaker via QE ongoing (Euro is very much taken the weak path also)

'stabilisation showing, downside limited potential long' who knows later though

loads of ways to buy - but just becuase they are releasing something new doesn't mean share price will jump.

Depends on the business/shares how you buy shares.

Sharedealing or a stockbroker - online/phone etc.

Google will reveal all:p

Anyone know how I can find out what routing bank's charges will be on USD transfers? Both remittance and beneficiary banks have no charges in this case.
 
Any companies earning in USD or with substantial foreign currency earnings are going up (Because the value of the pound fell, their GBP profits go up). Mining and resources are doing well.

Any based on the UK economy is doing very badly - House builders and some big banks down by 20%+ though.
 
Had a very fustratibg morning yesterday. I'm on holiday but I think it was at HSBC end. I could get into my invest direct and make trades. Missed out on getting some 8am bargains like Aviva :(
