ASK a trading question! (ASK)

We have lots of experienced traders on MoneyAM who would be glad to help if you have any trading questions.

I have just sold a share and noticed on the moneyam live prices that whilst the details are spot on the sell is recorded as a buy,in view of this can we rely on live prices anymore as regards acuracy.

Thank You.

There is no such thing as a buy or sell on a list of trades. Ie for every buyer there is a seller. So the software which calculates the buy & sells has to make some guess if the spread is tight and moving.

Any reason why I'm not seeing any trades going through on my trades screen until about 20mins later?

I've had a look with various stocks eg LLOY shows last trade as 9:05 for me.

was ok yesterday.

thanks.

Dear Dil,

Stick to ironing. Rugby and shares obviously aren't your forte.

Crocodile, Is there a ftse 100/250 constituent which is a fairly reliable Dow tracker ? I have no volume on my index data uk style so am thinking a suitable share wd give some proportionate figs.

Crocodile - 21 Oct 2003 17:05 - 185 of 460

Some Trackers to consider

I have a question regarding warrants.

can I keep my warrants and still excersise them on the relevant dates if I've sold the original shares they were issued under?

thanks.

zzaxx99 - 23 Oct 2003 15:04 - 189 of 460

-- ricardopage,

Yes - there is no connection between having the warrants and having the shares - you may have received the warrants as a result of having the original shares, but that's it.

many thanks

Why is it that the iShares stock does not carry stamp duty please? not that im complaining that is.

Gausie - 23 Oct 2003 16:57 - 192 of 460

Croc, why is calling an image 'temp.gif' a bad idea?


;o)

Crocodile - 23 Oct 2003 18:06 - 193 of 460

Short answer is that it's not really a stock, it's a derivative (to all intents and purposes an index tracker fund) "packaged" to look like a stock - but "looking like" doesn't make it liable to stamp duty.

Thats a gross simplification of what ETFs are, but it's near enough for most purposes.

Stan - 23 Oct 2003 19:17 - 196 of 460

Yep, That sounds good enough to me ZZ, Thanks a lot.
