    David, I believe there is an endowment forum on the site if you want to discuss whether to sell an existing Standard Life endowment.

    It is a pity if you didn't invest any extra money in the shares at flotation. If that is the case then you have my sincere commiserations.

    That makes more sense. I was finding it hard to believe that the full allocation wouldn't pay your endowment shortfall at £40 per share.

    Hmmm ... on the LSE site the "last 5 trades" has made interesting reading at times over the past 24 - 48 hours (not that I'm sad and sit refreshing and watching it or anything, you understand). Quite a few sales of over £1 million worth of shares at a time - one just now of over £3 mill! - whereas in the previous few days it's been quite a lot lower than that. Any thoughts from the floor...? :confused:

    Why some big sales at the end of last week?

    There were bound to be some institutions reducing stakes on the back of recent gains and inadvance of the bonus share issue which will see sales by ordinary investors.
