Changing Broker causes stock to fall April 10, 2006

Posted by CamdenKiwi in : Investing , trackback

Renewable Energy Holdings fell about 4.5p late last week, and I nearly sold as it briefly bounced through my 20% loss limit.  I'm not sure why it fell so much, so quickly.  The Guardian thinks its because of the company changing its broker last week, and elsewhere there was a suggestion that 'brokers do that to increase movement' which seems excessively cynical to me.   If this it is due to the change in broker, that's certainly not a good reason to sell the stock unless there is something very wrong with the new broker.  I'm glad I hung in there.
