I don't think we've forgotten them, just not sure exactly what relevance they have to the original discussion (best execution broker).

Well it was you who suggested £2000 was only enough to invest in two companies. If you are looking for good capital growth then if you only get say £200 of shares in a company you might struggle to make back your fees but if you consider dividends as well then it perhaps isn't as difficult to make a profit.

It doesn't matter whether you have 100 or 1 million Tesco shares, you're still going to get X% dividend.

Well it seems as though he has plumped for about 4500 Lloyds shares instead

Incidently, you just might have picked a very good day to make that gamble.

seen what you started? 2 people happly having an argument whats right and wrong:rotfl:


i am sure its more of a gamble the shares with lloyds
(but all shares are anyway IMO)

i hope i dont eat my words but i am sure in less then 12mths you would win your gamble @44p per share. just hold your nerve when you see the minus signs in the short term:eek:


I am not a pro share trade person (i only bought my 1st batch last week)

so dont gun me if my info is all wrong;)
i am a humble newbie share person just like you:beer:
