I was looking for opinions on the same question. Methinks large companies don't come on the market often; perhaps some of the bigger players might be interested. So I'll probably give them a go for a year anyway. smiley:

It is tricky to start with and you will have to register to get a decent veiwing time.

Has any one ever herd of spread betting, you don’t pay broker fees, they just make their money based on what the buy/sell price is(spread). I suppose this would only be of interest to people who are planning to use brokers often. It might be more beneficial for people that hold stocks for long term to use brokers.

A good place for historical data and analysis:

Hi, HSBC do online trading which you control...invest direct, there are smaller charges (depending on the size of your investment) from about £10 per transaction. You can have a fantasy portfolio which you can play around with shares to get more comfortable with it (if your quite new to all this like me!...I'm used to pieces of paper!).

I think spread betting is too risky because you never know how much you're going to pay. Also you don't see what costs you're making. It could be an option if the spread is maximised and the costs are shown to you.

Hello,

I'm new to share dealing, I hope this is in the correct forum.

I know of a dormant UK company that may soon become a shell company in a reverse takeover. Would it be wise to buy stock in the shell company in the hope of a price rise after the takeover. I realise this depends on the performance of the private company but do they take any measures to devalue the old shares or are there any other pitfalls to this idea.

Thanks alot
