A coveted badge of honour

What did you say to deserve that!?

Lol. Kind of a badge of honour indeed.

I think just posting that Freetrade is better with a link. That seems to be enough to do it. They are taking a bit of a pounding right now on Twitter. So many people threatening to go to the FCA about them.

Link for the above sky news 5 minute video here. Great coverage here and positioning on the side of the customer.

Great video. I also liked the segment that came right before where they showed the interview with Vlad, the CEO of RobinHood. I think it made Viktor come across even better in comparison.

If I made over 12500 on stocks in a year that would be a second income for me.
As for CTG, most people here (from what I observe) will not be affected easily, so a GIA is perfectly fine to use. I have my ISAs with other providers. I am sure the article mentions that you can only open and pay into 1 type of ISA each year even if you’re under the 20K limit.

Keep in mind it’s a little more complex than it might seem. Every sell counts, anything sold and bought within 30 days is counted on an individual basis, anything held over 30 days you use the average of the asset. There’s potentially a lot to keep track of if your frequently buying and selling.
