Like most of your other reviewers I was always happy with the services provided by Comdirect but they no longer exist! I don't know exact dates but it must be at least 2 years ago when they became... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Financially secure, Opportunity to learn and practice before actually committing, Also you to monitor your interested stocks and shares in one place

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None that I can think of

    How many of you have wanted to engage yourselves in a bit of stock buying and selling but backed due to either thinking that you were too small to participate or not knowing how to go about it? Comdirect Ltd, give you the opportunity, for the normal person, to do so and also provide you with the tools to give you a bit of insight and practice in the stock market business. They are online stockbrokers and registered in the UK since June 2000. They are 58% owned by Commerzbank who are a very large banking conglomerate and thus the financial integrity is ascertained.

    5 Stars Great Stockbrokers and 50 pounds free 09/12/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free £50 offer, No extra charge for telephone trades, Competitive charges, limit orders and stop losses, Instant funding of account

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Need to set-up new passwords to enter research area

    I joined Comdirect about six months ago while they had promotion offering free cash when opening an account. My other account is with Selftrade with whom I still hold a majority of my small portfolio. For details of their current special offer see the end of this opinion They charge £12.50 for all trades and this includes trades placed using the telephone. Most stockbrokers I have come across tend to charge extra if placing trades by telephone. Although Comdirect may not be the very cheapest in the market, they certainly offer the most features for the money. Selftrade also charge £12.50 per ... more

    5 Stars Buy, no sell, no buy, Argh. 21/04/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages No frills, but all the thrills.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages That is REAL money. Be careful!

    If you, like me, occasionally fancy yourself as a bit of a wheeler-dealer, and fancy making a buck-or-two on the stockmarket, you could do far worse than taking a very close look at Comdirect.co.uk They are an execution-only (they don't offer advice) trading service, but the breadth of their services, and the low prices are astounding! They have been around a bit less than two years, but in my opinion they will go a long way. *** The Game This was my introduction to the company. comdirect run a monthly share dealing game, where each player is given £100,000 of play-money, and access to almost ... more

    5 Stars If you like sharedealing you'll love ComDirect 13/10/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Set limit orders. Sharedealing game with prizes.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No virtual portfolio

    ComDirect has to be the best online stockbroker that I have come across. I found their site by accident and registered for their online "Fantasy Sharedealing" game which was great fun although I didn't win. This is ideal for the novice trader and you are given a fixed amount of virtual money to buy and sell shares. You can view your position in a league table and I believe there are prizes for the top 10 dealers. Now the fun bit is over, here is the serious stuff. I do a lot of sharedealing and was tempted to open a real sharedealing account with ComDirect as they offered me £150 cash after my ... more

    5 Stars Superb Site, but why is first trade so slow 09/03/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Just about all the data/tools you'll ever need and childsplay to navigate

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lack of debit/credit card funding facility and therefore very slow to set up first trade. Interest payable is a paltry 2.5%

    Safe, comprehensive and childsplay to navigate, comdirect.com is a MUST for your bookmarks, whether or not you choose to use the company for on-line share dealing. I've tried much advertised share tracking software, costing up to £250. Now I've got FREE all the analysis tools, data, charts, up-to-date news I've ever wished for - all on a single click on my "favourites" list, with enabling downloads taking up a paltry 2kb of my Disk space! With every world market covered you can cancel your subscription to the FT. Without becoming a client, you can set up and track your own real or notional ... more
