    Hi all

    i'm hoping someone can help!

    i have some shares which were held electronically, but have now been issued to me as a paper certificate. (due to company policy changes)

    i would like to sell these fairly quickly but am disabled and housebound and unable to communicate by telephone.

    can anyone advise a good value agent where i can sell them online or by email and then post the certificate on without having to telephone first or visit a branch?

    thanks in advance

    Can I recommend Selftrade - they charge £12.50 for selling your shares - whether you do so online or by telephone (I note what you say about not being able to communicate by telephone but they also have a RNID Typetalk number if yu use that)

    Though as with most/all online/telephone brokers, you need to send them the share certificate before you sell them..

    In addition, if you are referred by an existing customer, you will get £50 for joining :: No Referral Board Linking Please - FM :: - which means you will be effectively selling your shares for free and getting extra profit!

    You would need to send me a Private Message with your full name and an email address that I can pass to Selftrade who would then invite you to join their service.

    Re: your Coca Cola shares - if you include further details about the statements you receive from Lloyds , I will hopefully be able to help you.

    There is more information regarding the SELFTRADE HERE referal. there are several members offering to refer you.

    gt94sss should not be asking for referals on this thread, as it is against the site rules and is abuse of MSE

    Hi

    Does anyone know the best sites on the internet that give you up to date information of new companies going public. For example I was awarded some Standard Life shares by the company last year for having some of their products, I took the option to buy extra and they are doing nicely, I would not have known about these if it was not for them automatically sending me a prospectus. I presume there are sites that point you in the right direction and to be able to apply for a prospectus from these companies.

    Any info would be appreciated.;)

    Allipo is AFAIK the only site of that kind. Bear in mind that most companies going public for the first time are very very risky; it isn't often that a large, well established company is floated. And when it does happen, it generally makes headlines well in advance of the actual flotation date so there's plenty of time to ask for a prospectus.

    Oh, and btw as often as not it pays to wait a few months after a company has floated before buying shares as it is very rare for the price to shoot up in a straight line - usually the opposite, IME...

    Hi all,

    I managed to buy some IBM shares http://finance.google.com/finance?q=IBM when they were going for about $124. Lucky me. I was in the employee purchase plan. After I left IBM's employ these were no longer held eletronically for me and I was issued with a paper certificate.

    I've just about had enough of holding onto these shares and could do with some cash......except places I have tried seem to have issues with :
    a) paper certificates
    b) US / NYSE shares

    ...and by issues I mean they would like to charge me a tidy sum :). Can someone tell me the best / cheapest way of selling these when the time comes please?

    (any chance of cashback to offset against fees most welcome :) )

    Thanks.
