Royal Mail shares.

Look at the website in my last post, you will get a lot of information there. You probably want to throw lumps at it, rather than regular small amounts.

Or maybe just look at their Stocks/Shares ISA as its tax-free investment, up to £11.5k a year (depending on circumstances.) More ideal for steady long term investment, than quick short gains

Thanks I'm gonna open up a practice account

I like the sound of that. I'm going to give this a go as I couldn't have LESS of a clue if I tried. Nice way of getting an idea of the basics.

30% profit if you wish to sell now.

I think I will and then rebuy them on Tuesday after all he direct buyers have taken a profit.

If I'm reading this right, it's £750 for anyone who asked for less than 10 Grand (or 227 shares each). Oh well, quicker and easier money than waiting for Bahamas Oil to strike (one day)

I thought I heard that we cannot sell until Tuesday? Probably wrong.

Apparently 78 million shares had been traded this morning by 8.20

You can't buy any until Tuesday, however you can sell yours now but the only buyers are 'city' institutions, who are buying up as much as they can before they go on general sale next week. In the unlikely event that the IPO becomes null & void, all trades today & Monday will be voided. I got mine through Hargreaves Lansdowne and their website has gone into meltdown, which suggests loads of people are trying to see their 227 shares today.

Sold mine through my brokers this morning.Initially bought them for my pension fund but the allocation was so small it just wasn't worth keeping them.

privatise the profit... nationalise the debt... we've all been ripped off AGAIN!

If they are worth so much then why has my postman not been for 3 bloody days! Still awaiting my parcels. O-T I know
