Talvivaara Mining Company - TALV Stream Log

re transfer of shares . yup thats the big question do we do it now where they can take care of any corp action or do we hang on and see whats going to happen first. thats the biggy.. im going to find out whole long a transfer takes and how long my postion will be hanging in the lap of the gods between registrars etc. might be best to sell on lse and bang to cash straight into HL and buy on nasday which all could be done same day.. oh god

Hi jjb71uk yup guess so. funny enough i was going to open up with HL a while back but chose bestinvest who offer an identical service but without the option to trade in o/seas stuff. i know folks with HL accts and they are very happy with them. they do have an excellent rep as far as i know and lets face it its costs nothing to open an acct. also its going be very easy to use etc nothing complicated and all on line thru good old debit cards. i know there's other platforms out there but tbh im not trading all day long so HL will do for me i think. also HL aren't just for share dealing its the whole shabband with funds, inv trusts sipps etc etc

Thanks for the info Womble...I'm feeling my only option is to transfer my TALV shares to HL. Half of me finds it quite annoying, however, I guess they are just doing what they think is in the best interest of the company!

HL accounts can be opened on line and you can trade almost immediately or rather buy immediately however be warned you CANNOT book any sell trades until you hace completed the compliance/AML docs which takes a while as formss need to posted etc

HL ok all good with HL and nasdaq not ssure about all the fees yet will have to check with their website but its about 12 qquid to trade overseas stocks plus a commision % based on the value which ranges from between 0.4- 1.5 % i think. there's no charge for holding equities outside of an ISA, in other words in an investment acct whereas bestinvest charge about 15 quid per quarter. just need to do some maths re example trade. HL have NO issue with accepting receipts via corp actions either which is good news plus of course there a fund platform to

for eg im not bothers about saving miliseconds when i trade as long as its quick enough as im not trading volumes however what i dont want is to be ripped off on either the exchange rate itself which is hairy enough being the euro or the commision they charge in doing the fx. actualk trade charges dont bother me either as they are all between 8 and 15 quid and i dont do that many

saxo on line trading is another i will look into

Need new broker hi there's plenty out there, interactive bro's, barclays, TD, etc its just finding the one nthat suits you best

RE: Quiet yes me too would be good to get other exchanges i would also like to get into the US... barclays have a platorm but the problem with them is that they can only hold in GBP so you have to pay 1.5% fx when you buy anything and then another 1.5% fx fee when you sell. they told me that they hope to change this but it wont be yet.
