Interesting ... and given that I so far didn't use the ASB trading platform, i.e. can't yet compare - where do you see the strengths and weaknesses of Jarden platform vs ASB platform?

One of the most important difference is that ASB pays no interest on cash balances up to $50k and only 1% for balance over $50k. Jarden currently pays 3.3% on cash balances.
Fundamentally they both do the job but the Jarden platform is modern. The ASB platform feels as if it was built at least 10 years ago.
I also quite like the Shareclarity info supplied with the Jarden account. The (very limited) Morningstar info supplied with ASB is of no use to me as I am already a Morningstar subscriber.

I've finally been forced to Jarden Direct website cf Direct Broking.
Cant say I'm pleased about it. It seems I've lost my watchlists, and while the layout might be prettier less information is visible on each page. Direct broking website was fully functional and I could see all my portfolio on only two pages split between NZ and Aussie. Now it seems I have them all bunched together in no particular order :+(

yes of course I can

well in some ways that picture is not me at all. I am very grateful to the cloud especially the icloud.

Durimg my month Grand Tour of Scandinavia I lost my Iphone X on an SAS plane in Oslo. I couldnt get it back so I bought a 15 Pro duty free in Iceland.
Because I had retained my sim card (Spark dont provide roaming in Nthern Europe) I could receive the txt to double authenticate into the icloud and I never lost a single photo, and all my passwords were intact. (Huge sigh of relief) So the cloud is awesome.

Your dark cloud has a silver iCloud lining - and a lovely 15 pro to boot.
