Welcome to MoneyAM.
Today sees the launch of MoneyAM, a bright new financial website for the smart investor. Our aim is quite simple: we aim to become the UK's leading web-based supplier of shares related content and data.
Streaming real time share prices, up to the minute portfolios, live city news, email alerts, bulletin boards, company fundamentals plus expert analysis supplied by the same award-winning team of journalists, analysts and researchers that produce Shares Magazine every week. These are just some of the great features that MoneyAM provides free to anyone who registers on the site.
Our premium paid for services are compelling and competitively priced and a must for the serious investor/trader. Unlimited level 1, FTSE indices, alerts, Premium market scan tools and the Traders Room (Bulletin Board) are just some of the extras on offer. Level 2 services will be coming to MoneyAM very soon!!!
We hope you enjoy using the site.
Regards
Mike Boydell
Managing Director

Shares has most of MAM tools and I know they have been working on the streamers for live prices. The Chat room will come alive as people move over, I chose a system for the chat room which seemed more modern and user friendlly, plus feature rich. It is also well supported, so ongoing issues should get seen too quicker.
On L2, there is a choice but costs vary LSE.co.uk, Advfn or of course some brokers such as IG have L2.
The £9 deal on Shares is very good.

Thanks Mike,
I have replied to the email that we all received with some suggestions about the situation I don't know if you have access to the replies it but wonder what your thoughts are if you do have access.

I'm very sad this day has come. It's a long time ago now but I first joined moneyam in the Trader's room when it first kicked off. I can't remember but I'm pretty sure I was one of the beta testers.
It was a wonderful time back then. The posts on ADVFN had become excessively abusive and MoneyAM was monitored. Traders were generous with sharing information, the camaraderie was great and the time and energy put in by many was rewarded. I look back fondly
I registered for shares yesterday (free subscription) to test the forum over there which is currently not used. Free users can't post. I'm not sure I want to pay just to post to a forum. I realise there are other services available but I already get the Shares Magazine free with my AJ Bell SIPP's and I take my L2 from ADVFN. I won't be moving my L2 from ADVFN as despite it's cost and unreliability I prefer it to MAM.
I appreciate the end of free services was always going to happen and many thanks for Mike for supporting it for so long.

It is a pity that it won't be possible to post to the Shares forum without a paid subscription. The posts from the free posters do enliven the bulletin board.

Replicating my numerous watchlists elsewhere is going to be a pain in itself!

is the site free?
is access to charts free?
if the answer is no in either instance, why should one bother, for the BB itself, while usually entertaining, is not worth paying for

Quoted from the email:-
"At Shares, you won’t be able to access two of your existing features: Terminal, and Level 2 data."
"Both MoneyAM and Shares provide in-depth market data. That’s why we’ve made the decision to consolidate these services and encourage customers, like you, to move to Shares.
Since the two services are so similar, we hope you’ll find the transition to Shares easy."
So similar!? I don't think so!
Unless I can receive Level 2 data there is no point in taking up the offer. I hope Shares can sort it sooner rather than later. MAM has been brilliant, I will miss it greatly!

Mike , I've never been banned from MAM but I think me and Mr Euro were suspended for 2 weeks.
It was his fault :-)

If consolidation was the aim then MoneyAm should have stayed and Shares gone. Just rebrand MAM as Shares and keep it the same.

It certainly would be the best alternative!

I guess MaM is more expensive to run. The technology and maintenance look to be more costly.
