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

Zoltar, if long you usually get 90% of the divi the day it goes ex-divi, although some spreadbet firms may wait until the date the divi is actually paid. If short, the opposite.

Zarif, can't help but I would be fuming as well. Guess you have no obligation to them and it would be up to them to prove you had offered to buy which you patently haven't. Do they record telephone conversations? My guess is they'll push you as far as they can to try & get money from you - but it'll be like taking hostages. Once you've given in once there'll be no stopping them.

Marzipan, can't help on the companies front but you will need to have an account where the shares are listed in your own name rather that the more usual nominee account that most of the online brokers do, where the shares will be listed in the broker's name.

Dailos - it's a long to 20 bucks, cos the risk reward is in your favour. If it sails thru resistance then it's an add, raise the stop loss, and a long to the big number. But, you knew all that, so, whats the catch? Other than that they broke down hard, stopped the longs out, and formed lows around $6 which is where they are still trading today.

Zarif - be sure to drag the argument out.... just in case the share price rises :o)

Sorry wrong thread but morning anyway

Gausie
Sorry didnt read what this thread was about, just thought i'd ask a question to see how it was answered, didnt realise its a "help" thread.
Your answer is perfect by the way! (its the add and trail the stop most dont seem to consider).

*i see PDX are in the poo regarding the leak thursday, 2nd warning coming i suppose, i thought the news was quite good, still holding quite a few*
Have a good weekend.

I Have old share certificates from 1983-1984 and the company is not listed
now, how do i find out what happened to it?

Superally

What are the company names? Some of us may know if theyve changed their names (in which case you will have shares in the newly named company), been taken over (in which case you'll be the beneficiary of whatever corporate action took place), or gone belly up (in which case - tough luck.)

The company name is W.E.NORTON(HOLDINGS)PLC
THank you for your help Superally

Just did a search at company house, and theres a company called W.E.NORTON(Machine Tools)Ltd, based in Cheshire.(Co number 00506601)- incorporated in 1952. It list its business as "other financial intermediation & other business activities" which is interesting for a company that has machine tools in it's name.

The company number will be on the share certificate - check if its the same? If not, if you post it here, I'll do a search from the company number for you.

Rudeold.I have 500k of Jus shares.Ideas?:-)

The number on my certs is 649540
Thanks Superally

Found it - I'm afraid it was dissolved in November 1996. It was called Barbican Holdings plc when it was dissolved. The records have been archived so if you want to find out more, you will need to ring the call centre on Tuesday (0870 3333636) and they may be able to tell you why it was dissolved if you're interested.

Great work Little women thanks for all your help

Thought this needed to go back ttt

What exactly does protected transaction mean on the Trades screen Just noticed a 200,000 share purchase of BPRG.

Does it mean its protected from the price dropping? -(:-<) (If only)

I hope no-one minds, but there are lots of good questions & answers here to
help anyone who wants to read all the posts.

Also some may have new questions. (?)

I want to find out the previous daily volume of certain shares sometimes say for the last couple of weeks.

Where can I do this for free please on here or elsewhere?

Thank You.

Stan,

This link may help.

If you go into the quotes and info for the share, then you can click on the historical prices to get the data that you need. Not sure how you do it on Money AM, others may know how to.

Cheers

Gav
