Does anybody buy and sell stocks / shares online? I have a bit of spare money that I'd like to invest and try and make more money. I'm looking for a good online broker that isn't going to rip me off and charge me the earth per deal.

I used to with Hoodless and Brennan but TD Waterhouse bought over there online operation and that introduced a quarterly charge instead of the execution charge that was used previously, as i only traded maybe once or twice a year it just wasn't worth it so i ditched them. You would need to be using them regularly and showing some profit just to cover the quarterly charges, i wouldn't recommend them.
Are you looking to put it in an ISA wrapper ?
If so have a look at the lang cat broker price comparison page 10 here;

Engineer I was looking to stay clear of an ISA and just buy stocks while there low and sell them when there a little higher. I have been looking at few big companies but there prices take a few months to rise and fall so I am looking for a company that's not going to charge me the earth every month. jayjt29 did you manage to break even? What went wrong after making a few quid? Thanks for xo.co.uk I'm going to look into them.
I used to use Hargreaves Lansdown www.hl.co.uk.
They charge (or used to) about ã10 a transaction but no monthly fee. You get a free magazine each month too.

Just kept my eye off the game and missed out selling on a few when I should have sold, I over doubled my initial investment but came out slightly under what I put in, didn't break the bank though. Only invested what I could loose.

What kind of rights do you acquire when you buy on the stock market Robin? I have never heard of rights being mentioned when buying and selling shares.

Ok
these are the rights for further shares in lieu of a dividend for instance or rights to a new share issue. (companys) do this to raise cash, from existing share holders hope this helps . You may want to Google it. It affects the price.. for instance ..if you bought shares and the divi was due to the seller, the shares would cost you more to reflect this..it sounds complicated - but its not

g'day all.
I have some unit trusts which I want to get rid of. Trouble is I'm in Australia and the company are in the UK.
I've tried to register on their site, but it won't let me as I don't have a UK phone number.
I've sent emails to them via their website. The promised replies within two working days haven't happened.
I could phone them, but don't want to be on hold forever.
I could by mistake use a UK phone number to register I suppose.
Does anyone on here work in the stocks / shares business?

Why not get a UK relative to purchase a mobile PAYG phone and send it out to you?
The phone will have a UK number and I for one use my mobile PAYG phone regularly for financial stuff because it is the one phone where I can always be reached whether I am in the UK or overseas.
PS
Apparently, it helps if you describe yourself as a "Nigerian Prince" if you live overseas and really want to get financial help from people in the UK! :whistle: :whistle:

Thanks Mate.
they've got back to me now. Claiming I should put +61 in front of the number.
Although I'm sure I tried this before. I'll try again.
My other plan is that my brother or brother in law pretend to be me.
Worked for years when my brother used to go to the building society for me.
He always made sure he got served by his sister though.:lol:
