AIM UK

[ls7550]

Lloyds/TSB tripped its AIM indicated buy limit order today at 395p. Adding more into a good quality blue-chip at a bargain price level IMHO.

I've recently started moving across to TD-Waterhouse as my principle broker. First order to be tripped under the new account - proving its working OK. Did notice however that the order fill didn't actually register until some 15 minutes after the limit priced had actually been breached.

I like their account linkages - having set up both an ISA and linked savings account with them.

Had quite a few problems with moving cash into the accounts though. Online limits resulted in funds being bounced back out with no warning, despite having apparently transferred OK. A telephone call after having noticed the absence of funds in the account however quickly resolved the problem.

They're not to on-the-ball with W-8BEN's Had to prompt them to send me a form despite opening the account with a trading US stocks and/or in dollar amount option.

I had been toying with the idea of buying some CHY at the recent lows as an addition to the virtual bond side of my overall AIM account, but overall the 9.4% net after (basic rate) tax forward yield from Lloyd's wins out.
