► Episode Notes:

Where has Steve D been finishing lately? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!

This week, the Steves are talking about investing platforms, bank accounts, acquisitions, and FTSE 100 stocks. There’s a lot to talk about.

First up, though, it’s consumption time. Both Steves have been on the podcast trail this week, so what have they been learning about in their spare time?

After that, it’s on to Webull – the latest source of free shares. Is it a serious contender for Trading212, or is it just a short-term thing for both of the Steves?

Then we’re talking about Nationwide and its 8% interest rate. What does Steve W think this shows about the banking sector and is Steve D about to switch his current account?

Following that, we’re finally getting to some stocks. Growth has been slowing at Halma, according to its latest trading update, but is the sell-off in the stock a buying opportunity for Steve W?

One company that has been getting ready to do some buying is Cisco. The network company is getting ready to buy Splunk – what do the Steves think of the deal and is this the start of a new wave of M&A?

And we’re finishing with Taylor Wimpey. Steve W thinks their dividend policy is interesting and attractive, but Steve D is our construction expert and he’s not so sure…

Only on this week’s PlayingFTSE Podcast!
