Could anyone recommend a good one please? Thanks.

  • I'm using Interactive Investor (iii.co.uk) atm, and they're really good. Some people get annoyed at having two logins, but I appreciate the extra bit of security, and they allow you to monitor your portfolio outside of the 2nd log-in (which I only use when buying and selling). I find it cheaper than hoodless as I use the sharebuilder once or twice a week, meaning I buy for £1.50, and I'm a sucker for a good layout as it's easy to read and find info

    Thanks folks. Have read some negative stuff about Hoodless on a bulletin board. Have you generally found them to be ok?

    I've been using Motley Fool (part of Lloyds Banking Group) for over a year. I've never had any problems, although I haven't used others so I can't really compare them. I had to phone them once and they sorted out my question in seconds.

    I use HSBC InvestDirect and Hoodless. HSBC is rubbish if you're wanting to put in limit orders that don't expire in one day but it is convenient since that is who I do a lot of my banking with. Not used HB too much but looks alright to me, I'll try it for a while.
