How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think -
Originally posted by contractorinatractor View PostPeople are going to shout Hargreaves-Lansdown at you. Ignore them, they are fools. Huge service fees which eat into your SIPP (self invested personal pension) pot, stocks and shares ISA or share-dealing account.
There are numerous others who are cheap and work fine. You can do your own fund/share research on many other websites. Halifax iWeb seems decent and has plenty of users. Interface has just been revamped.
Check out the pricing and then compare your own expected number of trading costs and service fees with Hargreaves-Lansdown. You won't choose the latter, if you can use a calculator and scale over the years.
Final note: stock markets have never been this high, yet the major economies are, in reality, performing awfully. Company P/E (profits to earnings) ratios are sky high. Do NOT invest right now. Await the crash. That's my advice.

I would say it is different from Glencore. Petrofac is facing an investigation. With Glencore it was simply "hysteria", i.e. an overreaction to faliing Copper prices. In the end you know Copper prices will recover. The investigation however could be very damaging.I'm alright JackComment
