Thank you for sharing.

Isn’t that very high investment for such a low salary? Good for him.

£37,000pa is not a low salary and £750pcm is (circumstantially) doable on this salary:

The median income - or 50th percentile - is £24,897 and for full-time employees it’s £30,353.

The average, or mean, earnings for a full-time worker are £37,428 per year. This is higher than the median because a relatively small number of very high earners skew the figures.

These numbers are taken from a survey of 180,000 people for the Office for National Statistics. Importantly, they do not include the significant proportion of the population that does not work - retired people, the unemployed and those not seeking work.

Thank you for the data and that’s what I see around me as well.

This person puts me to shame with his diligence to pay himself first.

Freetrade’s @Ian did not stick the knife in. It’s good that Freetrade are appearing in the press commenting on related stories.

Freetrade come out well in the comparison. Also Holly Mackay ( from Boring Money ) said newcomer Freetrade is one to watch.

On Monday Freetrade had its highest number of new customer sign-ups in a single day. Lloyds was the most bought stock on Monday. Barclays, Aviva, and Legal & General were also highly bought.

American stocks can be traded for free at IG :open_mouth:
Where is the catch?

I believe you have to do a set number of trades the month before…

They introduced fees of £100 per year which can be offset by making 3 standard trades each quarter at £8 per trade, or using their Robo advisor. IG’s pricing in general is more geared towards heavy trading

Freetrade gets mentioned alongside Hargreaves … no mention of AJ Bell, 212 etc.

I like that

Robinhood delayed.

Revolut head of Trading left.

212 is whitelabel of Interactive Brokers and will charge for things when CFD profits decline.

This commission-free trading game might be difficult.

I’m long on Freetrade.

Do you have any source for T212 being a white label of Interactive Brokers?

That’s a wild claim.
