Checking of changes in savings interest rate
It there any site that allows you to put in the savings accounts portfolio that you have and you can check to see what the current rate of interest is. Obviously you can check each account individually but it would be very useful if you could put in a portfolio as you can with shares so you can check them all at once and…

ISA's interest
Hello, What am I missing here. HSBC offer around 5% payable monthly on their e-ISA services. So on a £3000 balance over 24 months with £3600 (£150/month * 24) you would have £6600. Atleast this is the way a friend told me. Although I thought the interest was paid anually, therefore just £150 for the year paid at…

Will B&B/Natwest/Tesco drop their rate?
Currently Bradford & Bingley, Natwest and Tesco's all offer high interest rates on 'clean' accounts, well above 6% gross. I'm tempted to sign up with one or two because my rates elsewhere have dropped, but the question is, are these deals likely to be sweeteners to get customers money in, and then drop the rate soon? Does…

I've just 'opened' one of these- by which I mean I phoned two days ago and the account number was immediately allocated and I've now had the 'welcome' letter. No passbook!

Short squeeze on volkswagen causes shares to rise 2000%
The high gambling American investment banks Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs rather enjoy selling lots of shares they don't own to create free money as the drops in share prices create self fulfilling prophecy's on companies (NRK, B+B etc etc). Little did they know that one company they did this to has interests in it from…

Money placed in wrong fund
Hi, I wanted to buy an allshare FTSE tracker and sent an isa transfer form to Fidelity but unfortunately I filled in the application form identifying the wrong fund (a very similar sounding one). I did notice straight away, rang them and told them that I had also sent them the correct application too. They advised me to…

We're about to fall of the cliff... Again.

Alas, I…
