It’s absolutely ridiculous mate! Forces you to have to make very big transactions which isn’t ideal!

I am so glad with the brokers I am with, no way I will be paying 11 pounds for a transaction

Kinda don’t have much of a choice really it seems? Since IG has banned trading at moment

Yeah it is, IG charges £3-4 for Uk trades and £0 for US trades but then requires a quarterly fee.
HL has no other fees and as it’s an ISA the growth is completely tax free so you should ideally be making that money back on your trades.
Although HL will also charge an FX for foreign trades, so I often end up paying ~£20 for my American or Canadian trades lol (which as @CliftonGeraldi points out means that I never trade in increments below £500-£1000 haha)

Are they all British brokers?
They are some proper vultures
Yeah they are!
Tax wise it just doesn’t make sense to use Degiro though

There’s a reason financial services is worth almost £200bn to the UK economy

Don’t know about Google, but check Yahoo finance, they usually put up pre trading cotations, but remember that you don’t necessarily get real time data on free websites.

ah shit! Now I wish I’d bought more when it dipped even more to $36
ah well, better to be safe than sorry
Just Google Tilray share price and have a look at the smaller figure underneath the main numbers

On a cannabis note, besides smoking it fairly too regularly, I also follow and am invested in a few stocks. I will add tilray to the watch list, won’t jump into it now at such increases, but might buy a dip.
As with most things in life, support the companies you believe in

yeah, maybe i jumped the gun a bit but I don’t mind a small loss or whatever. The time for Tilray even in the short term was about a week ago, sitting at $22, a month ago at $12

I don’t think you did, you made 25% already, no?
I mean if I invest now I am really investing at the peak and it is usually not the way, so I will wait for a dip and if it keeps going up then it is what it is.
Enough opportunity this year
