    They say internet rates apply through phone dealing for now..
    Maybe best to cool off for a bit but I was going to buy at 33% up and now 36% up again - hope it doesn't go up more in the meantime.

    Was planning to hold but at £4.50 have just sold.

    Surely that is unsustainable!

    Don't suppose you used Hargreaves Lansdown? If you did, well done! Their website is partially down at the moment. I was still debating whether or not to buy more (and hold for a while) or sell today...but guess I'll do nothing for now (can't be bothered trying to get through by phone).

    Yep, you'd think they would have sorted out IT problems beforehand..

    OK, the gains are great - but I wanted more early on. Bet the big boys get theirs! I see this going up slowly - it's something the general public know and with the media hype... go with the crowd...

    Yep - can't see them staring at a "page unavailable" message somehow :wink:

    Just wish the limit was raised a little - I originally put in for £1.5k.

    Its not just HL who's website is overwhelmed, Sippdeal is too.
  • could anyone tell me how, since i applied on the government website, I can go about selling the shares today? I don't have an account with any broker. I just have the confirmation number from the email on Tuesday.
  • I put in for £5K. Still something is better than nothing I guess.

    You don't think the HL site outage is deliberate so they get higher fees from phone trades by any chance ?
