I'm wondering (m)any members hold their shares with Campbell O'Connor & Co, and what their plans are, now that they are giving up the FS game?
I first started buying shares with Goodbody Online. Then when they moved away from CREST I moved to some low cost online CREST broker, whose name/acronym I can't even remember any more. They then closed and the next one closed and so on. I dunno how many different EU/UK based online CREST brokers I had before I abandoned the foreign online brokers and moved my portfolio to Campbell O'Connor & Co. (based on a recommendation on this site).
I'd been intending on selling my entire portfolio, but then decided to hold off because one of my bigger holdings is being bought out and I stand to make close to 200% profit. But now Campbell O'Connor & Co. are closing down. Aarrgh.
They give three options:
Automatically open an account with Cantor Fitzgerald
Liquidate everything
Transfer everything to another broker.
I'd easily go for the second but the buyout is badly timed.
