How did you work that out?;)0 -
£40,000 would buy approx 65000 shares at 0.62 per share.
new price of 0.74 per share gives a profit of 0.12 per share (or 19.35%)
65000 multiplied by 0.12 (or £40,000 multiplied by 19.35%) equals £7800 approx.

So OP, after all the aggro that you went through to post that story (see OP's previous thread) was it really worth the trouble?
Seems like the answer is pretty much self evident, morals or no :rolleyes:0 -
