May use it sometime. I think it sometimes sensible not to have all one's eggs in one basket.

If there are users, feedback might be useful.

One of the brokers I use is Hoodless & Brennan. http://www.hoodlessbrennan.com/index1.htm

I also have a account with Comdirect, who are very good, but prefer the
Hoodless & Brennan account because, they have additional facilities to
Comdirect account, plus they actually send all the annual reports, dividend
recipts & voting papers to me - which although Comdirect is supposed to do the
same - they don't.

gerrards, i `ve no problem recommending these,a bit more expensive than some but they will accommodate all types of traders to suit everyone.

Hello Ajren what do you suggest other than a broker.

Hi cathbroadly,

I was joking.
