Bioprogress is a stock I have been in and out of quite a few times since it floated in May but not much mention here on the Investors' Room. Does anyone else follow this stock. I see it is up 1.5p today and a few good buyers seem to have appeared.

Dear Johng you missed me by half an hour,as I sold in panic ,losing half the glorious profit that I had gained by Monday.Later today saw the 50k boys coming back in.The problem for me is that I pay my broker 5% which stops me making profit on small price rises,especially with a 3p spread.I shall wait for excitng news and then back in...this has a long way to go.Why did'nt this thread take off.....all the attention went to SEO.

Ethel

Why are you paying a broker 5% when you can do it yourself on line. I pay 11.95 per transaction.

With all due respect you really need to get a new broker. 5% has been criminal for about a decade!!!!!!!

As for BPRG, current levels must hold IMO.

Big Al

Agreed

ethel, forget about a broker that rips you off.. this game is difficult enough without brokers loading the dice the wrong way even further!
There are a lot of brokers around that charge much less than 20 for any size trade.

Ample is 10.00 flat trade...

Just thought I would like to give a little happiness to somebody!

Volumes could be a little better.

Well,I really fell out of the tree on that one...words fail me needless to say,I am p+++++ *** Should have hung on in there. Learn't me lesson.Thankyou for all your indignation,I shall act on it.I have paid the family broker(inherited with mother's shares)thoooooousands of pounds over the last three years.Which is easier,ComDirect or Ample?

Comdirect is good so are their online news Charts and watchlists. Deal 12.5 Management fees small. Also has stop losses. Barclays deals at 12 and for frequent deals at 7.50. Online research has improved immensely. Has good research facilities but I think poor Charting. Seem to have cocked up a few things for me, Stop losses on 350, Staff try to be helpful and pleasant. I wish they had a more complete transaction printout. I think expensive management fees. Bu finding it difficult to extract myself and transfer

Have a look at the 'share centre' at www.share.com as little as 2.50 a deal, average around 7.50. Great web site and deals done in seconds(on-line or phone), simple to navigate and very few problems (ive had none). Easy to top up on bprg then, happy hunting.

I am in agreement Kivver, I've used The Share Centre for some years.... always a pleasure, fast & efficient, aint life goood

Also recommend the share centre, 1% or 2.50min to buy batch or 7.50 instant.
Sells 7.50. Quick efficient and deals done in seconds. The one downside is unable to real-time trade until after 8.15am or after 4.15pm.
You can set-it up in 24hours and your off and running.

ethel, I use ComDirect and wont hear a word said against them - well not many anyway. You can set up electronic trades to buy/sell if a stock reaches a certain price whci usually works faultlessly.

Comdirect for me.

andysmith - Don't like the idea of missing the first and last 15 mins of trading. There's good moves made at those times. Wonder if Share Centre keep some stuff in-house.

Is this still the bioprogress thread. Just checking :-)

Thankyou all very much for the kind advice.No more chit chats with Mr P when I ring up in a hurry to do a trade and he wants to talk about road rage.I shall miss him.The old fashioned broker,still buying mainly the Footsie 100 and unwilling to take risks:the only problem is that commission plus his complete ignorance of the small caps.Ether

This is showing well of late,could a 1.20 be back on the cards soon.

Glad I topped up yesterday at 78p :)
