Amber,
Thinking about it, you might also like to try speaking to John Anthony at KBR and Brian Moritz at GT.
I'm not really sure whether JA is still in the loop now that they've got their new PR firm (Parkgreen or someone sounding similar?) in, but he's probably worth a try nonetheless. Basically, there were a few problems when Trisk was at the helm and he upset a few people in the City because of his abrasive nature. JA was one of those who had his nose put out of joint by Trisk.

Amber,
Personally I wouldn't touch Headless Brendon with a bargepole. My best advice would be to close your a/c with them and get yourself a decent broker who can go to the market and get you price and size. Nonetheless, it doesn't surprise me that the mm's have shut off on-line dealing today.
If you follow the link in post 12986 through to Petra's own website, you'll find phone no's for both KBR and GT.

Couldnt wait to change brokers so done the deed, not happy with price they gave me or commission rates but had already missed a good rise this am! Been mucking around on different sites this morning but when I eventually went back to portfolio my original holding has ticked up well sweet..now time to go and have breakfast??? Phew! Day trade? Not sure it will suit me - taken me 6 hours to do this one, still said the money wouldnt stay in my account long...0% interest for 7 hours, does anyone do an hourly interest account? :>)
Hilary, thanks for info today, should have taken action when I saw tick up this am but hey ho. Still could do with broker info if you dont mind for later date, cheers. nice rest in the garden needed now while tiny bit of sun left, another day of no housework, oh well.

Hi Hil
Had my rod out a couple of times but only for a short while as I was afraid of sunburn. Just got 6 tickets for Chelsea V Spurs on 19th, West End upper near the corner. Taking some yanks who support Spurs for some reason.

Hello Jeffmack, you old banker you. Good to have you back, despite what they say. Pity they don't do Cyprus from Manston yet, you could have had the benefit of a nice cheap flight.
Good evening all, time to dole out the sherry trifle, I'm famished.
Talking about brokers, I've just had a divi from BT and part of their Shareholder Plus benefits is trading shares through Halifax for 1.50 a shot. Don't know any details but if anyone holds BT shares and is interested, have a look at:

Amber,
I've got broker accounts galore ...... you can never have too many, imo, as you never know when you might need them. Online certificated, online nominee, private client, cfd and spreadbet plus a couple of specialist fx. I'm loathe to recommend any of them though as what might suit me, won't necessarily suit others. I think you've just got to play about and see for yourself the various pros and cons of each of them.
There are a few that I wouldn't touch with a bargepole. For anything illiquid/aim/ofex, imo, you need a private client broker. There are plenty about. Just pick up the Yellow Pages for your area, ring them up, go and see them and ask them what they can do for you.
Jeffie,
West Upper, eh? Should be ok, but tell them not to wear any colours and not to cheer if Spurs score. And when the Chelsea fans sing ... "The famous Tottenham Hotspur went to Rome to see the Pope .....", or, "We'll be going round Tottenham with our wil***es hanging out", it'll probably be useful if you're in a position to explain the significance of the lyrics to your friends.
:o)

Don't you know it's rude to gloat....lol
Seriously, sounds like an excellent day, well done!, might be round for some hints later.

Could be a quiet meeting from what I hear SC? Didnt mean to gloat......only it was a first, my only regret was not buying pre as well, mucked around for so long I ran out of time.
Hils, quite! as I found out today having to go back to my old broker. Understand with recommendations so OK, only asked as it sounded like you had a favourite.

Tea must be OK though, fancy a mug?
Anyway Stormy, MPH AGM this week, could be good for us, got it into the game just at the right time.
