I am interested to hear any opinions about the proposed Royal Mail floatation. Will it remain a croc and sink or will it open at a premium and fly?

Royal Mail workers to go on strike

Royal Mail workers vote to go on national 24-hour strike on 4 November, postal union announces

Gives them time to go out & spend their share money I suppose.

They can't sell their shares yet.

Added a few more at 472. Strike is hardly a surprise.

Deal imminent now IMHO.

Anyone else STILL waiting for their 'allocation' number? Having been kept waiting in Equinitis cash generating 'phone queues, only to be told I can't do anything until they email the number to me, here I sit, three days later and unable to sell even if I wanted to.

I have seen similar comments elsewhere so you are not alone.

Well - After another 10 minute wait in the helpline queue, they are now insisting I requested a paper certificate !!! Complete pile of BS ...I haven't seen one let alone traded using one for nearly 10 years .... simply blatent market manipulation to prevent small holders from selling ... and it'll now cost me more/take longer to sell than it should.

edit: Quick scoot around the internet and it looks like Equiniti have shafted a lot more than the 0.07% they stated who have been issued with paper certificates instead of a nominee accnt. And they will be charging £10 for the certificate and £45 to trade it ..... little bit more than the £7.50 they were supposed to charge private investors! Let's see .... 700,000 investors at £47.50 additional over and above .... nice little earner they got there.

Just flog out of Mail.

Thank you Vince, George and Wavy Dave for returning some of my tax to me.

I am sorry you overvalued it so much!

But the markets are difficult.

How much have your city friends made?

PS

When are pushing your barrows back into street to sell more of the silver?

Complaining you could'nt sell em the other day Knobhead!

lol !

fred is a leading light of the board's resident griping, grizzling and whingeing panel ......

it'll never be proved, but it is said that the institutions would have backed away had the price been any higher than 360 (or whatever it was) ..... should their bluff have been called, and if the offer had then had only lukewarm support, what reaction from his nibs then?

Cyners said......."fred is very good at criticising and griping" .............ends...... what and your not???????????????????????????????????????

GF.
