Standard Life Shares

Just as a matter of passing interest, the share price went over £3 for a little while today - I guess the traditional xmas/New Year rally is in full swing...

(Opps - hadn't spotted GG's edit)

Hopefully mine will have been sold during the day on a limit order with Computershare. :j

+£500 on the launch price and a tidy little bunce for Chrissie to make up [partly at least] for the poor performance by my SL endowment which earned me them in the first place. :beer: :dance:

Farewell to the little SL hidaway on MSE :wave:

and thanks to all the knowledgeable posters hereabouts!:kisses3:

Hi bugbod,
Been there, seen it - just shows my "holding" at the sell price rather than the current closing price - so I assume they're sold.

The print out from placing the order says a contract note will be posted x 1st class post no later than the next business day after the sale and a cheque sent out 3 working days after the date of the sale.

Why, when they have your bank details, they need to send a cheque is a little beyond me but hopefully it will be here before Friday 23rd.

Well done guys. A very satisfactory result in under six months .

I'm also feeling quite pleased as, on a whim, I bought back those 2000 shares I sold @ 292p for 282p . So I'm back to 5,000 total.

Did you have a limit order set at £2.99 or at £3.00?

May be a blessing in disguise.

I'm not familiar with Computershare's share dealing service. Does the fact that you now have a share certificate now make a difference or have you transferred the shares to another stockbroker and placed a limit order with them?

Think good decision ---- I still think they way underpriced --- and have a way to go yet Would guess lots of original share holders have retained them and will do for quite a while yet
