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?

Kept that quiet Fred. Nice one if you can multiply by 5. That is if you had £750 aswel.

"Stan.

Nothing wrong with the tories, they are always helping the poor."

More like "helping themselves" to the poor -):

You got to be a rich tory stan being able to invest more than £10,000 in RMG.....

And who exactly said I invested that much in RMG. BB?

What a bugger I ask for £10001 worth never mind ill wait for the NHS sale.

What a mess. Sold it too cheap. Pissed off a lot of their core supporters by handing the bulk to the big boys. I got my £750 fortunately only applied for £10k in my ISA and would have gone more, if I had been outside that, and got nothing.

What could have been a vote winner has dented their claims of economic competence.

What confidence in their ability to get LLoyds and maybe RBS away next?

NONE.

"Could have been a vote winner" LOL !!!!!!

What an absolute joke - I'm less than impressed with my allocation from Hargreaves Lansdown.

97 & 129 shares in two accounts.

what a waste of time this was then - very disappointing - still its a government run debacle so par for the course I suppose - heyho

im watching the tape and I never seen that busy exchange.wow

Hopeless if you want to sell atm.

Shambles.

i'm much amused by you guys
some/all of you bitch that you had your allocations slashed - it shows that joe public liked the flotation a lot, for whatever reason
some/all of you then complain that you can't sell/trade them - clearly you only bought to scalp so hard cheese if your broker doesn't yet quote for them (IG does and price is steady)
some of you just bitch like crazy, though probably out of habit, as you didn't even apply for any and wouldn't touch them with a barge pole (apparently)

Cynic your a trouble maker FO.

There's a lot of interest in shorting #RM I have to say

oh I see - you don't like being swiped at then
i'm so dreadfully sorry - I didn't realise that was the private domain of you and your left-wing cronies

You as usual start confrontations and then walk away not to be seen again.

Get everybody going at each other and then seem to take some warped personal delight in this. So i say again youve been rumbled.......... FO.

Feeling is this is a massive windfall profit for institutions who got loads of shares rather than small investors

from City of London, London

oh dear oh dear oh dear ..... you're very happy to dish out truck loads of rotting tripe but can't take it at all when a bit comes winging back
how pathetic, but reminiscent of a schoolboy bully
