Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

I don't see why you shouldn't, not really any of their business what you do with the shares you own - but perhaps in general it is better to ask people in your company about details of the particular arrangement you've got.

Many companies need you to commit to x amount of time before releasing the shares. BT for example has a 3 year and 5 year plan for their shares schemes (or did when I worked there).
 
The only mention about 5 years is keeping the shares without selling them to get them tax free when I do decide to sell them.

At my last job, we had a SIP and I was only in the company for 2 and a half years. But I got over £3000 worth of shares. But I decided to sell them after I left and I got £2500 back after tax.

I will ask more people and see what they say. Thanks all.

I'm assuming we're talking about shares that are vested not shares he might have in future.

Obviously he can't sell shares that he doesn't yet have but I'm assuming that isn't what he's asking.

Exactly. I am asking about shares I currently have. I just want to know if I can sell those shares now and still continue with the SIP.
 
Got confirmation from the Payroll team. I can sell shares anytime I want and any amount I want and still be in the SIP. So just waiting to find out how to do this and get the ball rolling! :)
 
Apple new products but no apple car device apparently which could have been big for revenue figures. Interesting to see how markets react to that, in theory Apple is out of a downtrend recently

Has anybody else got Proctor and Gamble shares...

Hargreaves have sent me an email asking what i want to do in view of there offer to let you buy discount COTY shares following the sale of assets to them.

What is everyone else doing ? apparently there will be scale backs to the offer but smaller shareholes (I only have 11 P&G shares) will get priority

I think i can swap 50% so i might do that ?

Giant company of which I know little. Think I'd prefer Apple for a consumer products sector firm. You could try finding some article on :
http://seekingalpha.com/
or some similar story site, if it was a big stock in UK you'd find advice in a newspaper probably as most brokers arent allowed to say specfically

Forex isn't really talked about much here and the knowledgeable ones won't talk at all as the conversations get shut down by arguments. Seek advice on boards dedicated to trading - we are the wrong place.

OMG. I just highlighted 'SXX' and right clicked to do a google search, as soon as the new tab opened I got worried by what google just might throw up on my work computer! Thankfully it was all good.

that is because most 'forex' providers aimed at retail traders are just bucket shops - it is a very easy way for retail traders to blow up their account, most forms relating to the topic are pretty dire and you're unlikely to get much in the way of good advice from them, best piece of advice for most people is simply to avoid it
 
Everyone who goes abroad on holiday does forex but if you mean to trade from minute to minute then you can hardly get a more foreign subject to this forum. It is relevant to everybody, the prices of this site are largely dependent on importing, unless you want a pi from Wales :D

I could spam some links, pretty sure Ive done that already on this thread lots

Try stocktwits.com
nasdaq.com

puts out a lot of videos discussing data and trend influence. I cant trade really but fundamentals is useful context.

I'll add someone after, here is my nonsense chart for GBP at least to try and guage moves vs longer term. The recent uptrend did not succeed or establish itself and all you can do is recognise its been going down a long while. Im not sure sterling shows much sign for now, assume neutral to negative.
This is relevant to anyone because a lot of assets are abroad, with strong sterling its smart to change stance some. Right now I think its safe to be biased to foreign income. I bought Japanese stocks with a sterling hedge, Yen is extremely confusing but I rate that stance the correct way round.
I sold some Lloyds, I sold Royal Mail but should have sold it all seems like. I bought some gold shares, I think its fair to assume it wont reach new lows? Sterling bias makes this sensible imo though company has costs in dollars most likely, that shouldnt be strong (FED is very weak and I knew that at year start, after that % rise it was a tradable thing and maybe it still is that interest rates will lag below inflation) Oil costs relevant but again I dont expect $130 oil and anyway that would benefit me greatly elsewhere.
Gold should generally grind out an advantage imo, just seems sensible with Bank of China buying over decades etc I look at forex but only for its secondary influence

Which brokers do you like to use

I dont, the cheap pleb options are fine . Interactive Brokers have been recommended a few times over many years by people who deal 5k +
Maybe you should deal ETF not forex, its not got stamp duty. FXB is sterling UUP is dollar

The present system is a joke compared to what he had to do in his day. Like 1 in 100 are good enough to be judging forex prudently, shares is way easier and still connected

Someone here said they had tesla I think. Awesome dude but I tend to agree with bearish sentiment unless he captures a mass market with amazing efficency on a car
