Lack of investment in website = broken company Just warning folks not to spend any money with this company - their website has been slow and broken for years, clearly a lack on investment in back end systems is to blame. As of the last few weeks the chat part of the site is largely down during trading hours. When it is working it is mostly populated by teams of rampers promoting poor stocks to unwary site visitors, there appears to be no active admin to deal with this, so one has to wonder the implications of lse.co.uk supporting this behaviour.... I am closing my account with them today

It's a great free site It's a great free site. I keep my portfolio under watchlists which gives me the share movement and the RNS at about 7am. My only niggle is it ignores dividends. The share chat is a bit of a joke but who takes any notice of that. It's inhabited by traders not investors. Do your own research.

I am put off this site by too much advertising and bad advert placement What really puts me off this site is the shear amount of adverts and their placing on the boards. This amount of adverts also makes it difficult to write on the forums as they slow down the webpages or just get in the way. This happens on two of my pc's, which are both new machines, so I know that it is not my equipment which is so often blamed by companies who do not wish to take responsibility for poor service. I do not get the impression that those who designed the website ever use it. If they did they would see just how annoying it is. I know companies make money from ads and that is fine, its just that they can ruin the user experience with their greed. And that does not make me want to click on any of those ads.

Incorrect data Do not rely on this site for correct information. I purchased 5000 shares in a company and LSE share trades had them listed as sold. The same thing happened the next day. Don't know where they get their information from but it's not correct. How many share trades are showing as sells when they are actually buys?

Great Website! Great website with enough features to get the job done. Ignore all the 1 star reviews from people that've been banned and removed from the website chat. They're just annoyed that LSE keep on top of their chat and remove abusive people so they come here to shout and moan about it like little kids. Staff are always fast to reply and the website recently has been way more stable, hence 5 stars.
