To Crocodile, little Womwan and all the good people that contribute to this site. ...... Thank you.
I am new to shares and have a small over all investment (7K). I started out around 3 months ago and have a very good profit, mainly from investing in a good spread of high risk small caps.
I first found iii (ample), good trading site, but a poor BB.(to much emotion and not enough good sense in my opinion)!!!
I very recently posted a few requests for help on this BB and recieved extremely informative help FOR FREE!!!!
Moneyams live streaming site is excellent; I wish I had known about it when I started out.
I have 1 mopre question to ask of you. If I transfer my stocks from iii to moneyam:-
1.0) How fast could that be achieved?
2.0) How much would it cost?
3.0) Would I gain anything by being an investor through Moneyam?
Good luck to all,
Mike.

Micgwit, I have no personal financial connection with Moneyam but this is an okay site with reasonable posters, if 5 per month will not break the bank it may pay you to become a subscriber as you get access to lots of useful tools plus the premium BB. Just a thought

Close below Fridays S1 after loosing "9.9pts" in the auction, month end/long weekend! Close was also below weekly s1 and the 23.6% FIB level of the recent rise, will fresh buying materialise on Tue for Sept before the consensus for a down Sept emerges?

Afternoon/evening all. MoneyAM is a much better place than iii and you just can not compare iii's bulletin board posts to this excellent one on Money AM. Thank you all for your contribuitons which have also helped me in my trading.
