Any thoughts on this upcoming IPO ?

I'm still boycotting them for never coming back on my complaint when my fillet burger meal arrived with no chips or drink.

Some of my family live in a mid size town and they're not available there so probably lots of areas to still set up in but I reckon once things open up everyone will want to go to restautants/pubs. Can see it going up for a bit then levelling out.
 
I see Freetrade are up to something, sending via Crowdcube an expression of interest to sell shares. Any news on this? @Danishfurniturelover

To be honest although I see their growth potential, they seem to me like they are a bit out of their depth and hoping that Robinhood comes in one day to acquire them.

Would love them to sell up to robinhood i would clean up. They are expanding into different countries in Europe and around the world so my guess us they want to compete rather then be taken over.

Had my first issue with them recently trying to sell shares in Biffa but overall I think they are a very good company with great customer service.

Really wanted to give them a go. Seem like a good company. Never easy for small companies to transition into big ones while retaining that personable vibe. Few crack that. Once you go big, you end up like all the rest. Freetrade have good value for money on their side, but the thing that stopped me moving to them is they don't have the coverage I need. My Lenovo shares jumped 12% today (not sure why maybe something to do with a new listing in china). I put in 10k a year ago and the Lenovo shares are worth 25k now. Insane return (tipped them and HP in this tread about a year ago). I canceled my Freetrade transfer as I would have had to sell Lenovo, HP and many others that they don't offer. Lenovo are the worlds largest PC maker, one in four PCs are made by them.

Despite all these new fintech companies, there is still a gap in the market. None really offer true global coverage. It can't be that difficult. The tech is global, but their brokerage isn't yet. One of them will crack and offer great rates at some point.

BAE systems is not on free-trade yet either.

Where did you buy Lenovo from?

Freetrade is not available here in Australian app stores (although apparently it is on their radar as with the expansion in Europe) otherwise I'd go from being a shareholder to customer. Did you ever receive your SWAG bag from FT?

It’s listed in the US. Just used Hargreaves landsdown. Been trying to move away from them for a while as they are more expensive. But so far none of the others seem to have their range of products - a wide selection of shares and unit trust funds.

I wanted to check out interactive brokers. They don’t have a range of funds but seem the best for shares?

Did you get in? Just seen they dropped 30% - not the best look.

if anyone did buy, assume they didn't do their homework much. In theory it's a great buy during a pandemic, i know i spent a pretty penny on Deliveroo. But given the news on Uber treating staff as employees, that would take a massive hit to deliveroo. Avoid.

I'm in two minds on this because I ran a locksmith company for just under 10 years and loved being self employed. You only get out what you put in.

I will always be on the side of the working man if they are an actual worker.

Like you I don't know how the model works, think it is probably easier restaurants doing takeaways then delivery's.
 
30% drop might be an opportunity to get in. Could see it fluctuating up and down. An easy 15% gain in a short period? Agree the Uber ruling really threatens these companies. I was surprised lawyers found a way to make it stick on Uber. Someone working their own hours, using their own car, working when they want...should be classified as an employee? As is often the case with these things they got them on a technicality: when the app is running they are "on" at work or something. Idk. Seemed a little harsh. But then fair dues, paying Deliveroo rides a couple of quid an hour isn't fair. So for that reason, long term, wouldn't hold their shares. Buying for a quick short term profit for the brave...why not.

Had to invest some cash to avoid pay tax. Why are we taxed so highly in the UK?

@danish picked up that Lemonade insurer, as well as Rox or something a similar service. Didn’t put much into them, pretty risky bet as it’s unclear if the US public will embrace them. But with their valuations significantly down both represent fair value.

Also risky I bought quite a lot of GoodXR. A drug dealing app that helps yanks save money. Again down significantly (because Amazon will enter their space). But their downloads, head start, and integration with doctors is promising so put in 13k. Could very easily double in value...or half! High risk stocks. Will either retire well off or broke [emoji23]
