Well I'm £500 better off. Not bad for clicking a button!
I think I'll buy the wife something nice for Christmas with the proceeds (though being married to me should be enough of a present for any woman)

Just a quick question, slightly off topic.
How can the so called experts in government be so far out in their estimation of the value of the Royal Mail and still keep their job ? From what i read before the flotation, certain experts were saying that the royal mail could be worth approx £7 - £10 billion yet they floated it at £3.30 per share, thats a lot of tax payers money down the plug hole.
Congrats to those that bought them.

I don't think it's that straight forward valuing a company like RM, though I am no expert on these matters. There may have been 'experts' saying it was worth £10 billion but there were plenty of others saying it is not a viable company.
There were a few people on this topic quoting those very experts and saying RM has no future.

Great for share holder, but the Tories have lost a lot of money for the taxpayers by getting the initial price so wrong. The fact they got over subscribed for shares should have set alarm bells ringing for them. It would have been another chunk off the nations debt.

Not if it was in fact taxpayers who bought the shares.

Yes I suppose they were, but so what. I could have sat on my hands and moaned about how privatisation will wreck the postal service, how posties pay will be eroded, how people won't get post daily etc etc. But no, I decided to invest some of my profits from my BTL property and make a bob or two
