Share Picks 2026

Blatant market manipulation, no doubt the insiders have done well again. Took a punt on Easyjet around the £3.50 mark, difficult not to see that making a strong recovery with enough time..

T212 is a nicer interface, but less transparent on fees and spreads. DeGiro you can see what you will be charged and market spreads.

DeGiro also add an extra fee for exchange connectivity each year. Its not much but adds up if you hold a number of stocks across a variety of exchanges

For bigger transactions I prefer using DeGiro. smaller ones (like regular small purchases)I use T212

How can you tell? they're pricing is very opaque also. you just see a price you bought at in your local currency, but not the breakdown. they undoubtably are taking a profit on fx conversions

general rule of thumb is any financial service that is not transparent in its fee structure is then ripping you off. if they had nothing to hide they would be more than happy to show you that

good to know
