The big 2021 yawn at Hargreaves Lansdown continues

Back in early August I observed that there were ‘continuing issues’ at Hargreaves Lansdown (HL.) which made me avoid the shares. Obviously I still do not own any today and this morning’s update keeps me of the view that the company's shares are still stuck in a 1400-1800p range.

Hargreaves Lansdown: Either liars or incompetents

A reader of this website who I have known for many years and who is a truthful and honest man is a client of Hargreaves Lansdown (HL).  Poor man. He was advised, falsely, by Hargreaves that if he wished to convert Golden Prospect subscription shares (GPS) into Golden Prospect ordinafries (GPM), he had to notify the company by 31 October.  Hargreaves then claimed, again falsely, that this date had been extended.

Robinhood comes to the UK – disaster for Hargreaves Lansdown & AJ Bell or just for newbie mug punters?

It depends who you are. I start with my long held belief that traditional retail brokers like Hargreaves Lansdown  (HL) and AJ Bell (AJB) rip folks off with execution only charges that are far too high.

You get my drift. And that brings me to Aussie ambulance chasing lawyers Slater & Gordon (SGH) of Quindell infamy. I have a word of advice for S&G.
