Royal Mail Shares

Someone said we should get an email this evening. No idea if they were correct.

Those that went via the Government/Equiniti can sell their shares tomorrow via Equiniti's Shareview website.

I would assume other cheaper share websites will also buy your shares.

^^hopefully it wont effect it too much, the US thing has been kicking on since before the price was announced.

The market is only worth what is already priced in.. Something that hasn't yet been discounted by the market can have a big effect on stock prices. If the US defaults on its debt the RM shares will get wiped along with everyone else. Might not even happen but if it does it could be a great buying opportunity - or the shares could fall again. Anything can happen during big market moving events.

If the US does default on it's debt expect lots of pain

When will private investors be allowed to sell their shares?

They go on general sale tomorrow so anyone applying through the official .gov.uk site can sell them from 08.00 tomorrow.

Would you(in general) sell or hold on to your shares?

Technically, it's illegal for anyone to advise you on when to sell or buy shares or offer investment advise unless we are qulified and authorised to do so(even on an informal forum such as this).

Personally, i'll be selling mine tomorrow at a reserve price of £4.60 but if they do start tumbling i'll drop my price.

Is this confirmed? When will we get email / login details to you reckon?

Damn why did I sell on Friday!:mad:

The shares have been steady at 4.60 + all morning, so demand is STILL very strong, it doesn't look like the price will tumble, and those that had to wait till tomorrow may well get a better opening price than those that "thought" they had got the best price on Friday!

Presumably you wanted a quick profit - which you got. The shares could just as easily been down today and you would be grateful you sold.

Share price could plunge in the morning although I suspect its unlikely.

Maybe when everyone can trade (e.g., SELL) tomorrow, the price will bomb, and the window of opportunity to beat Friday's closing price will be all too brief... Or not?
