A question about : Not sure about the best way to save...

Hi everyone,

A question about : Why are some ISA investments not available with some brokers?

Hello

As mentioned in another thread, I'm looking to start a stocks and shares ISA and have looked at various brokers.

I have seven investments I had in mind for my ISA but only three of them could be found on the iweb market watch search engine.

I was able to find all of them on the Hargreave Lansdown site including the ISIN numbers.

Is there any reason why these investments would be available through one broker but not another?

2A question about : CopyOp Social Trading

Has anyone had any experience of using Copyop. I've found a few reviews but I'm never sure if these are genuine or not.

It is described as a is a full fledged social trading platform for binary options and as I understand it, it works by members watching and copying other members (the more successful ones) trades.

It seems quite attractive as it is free to join and you can spend time just watching before actually doing any trading.
