If you are worried about 1p drops in a £10k investment you have invested beyond your risk profile.

I'm not sure where I claimed anyone was 'worried'?

All I am saying is that at £10k investment the difference between 4.80 and 4.79 is about £30.

At the minimum the public were shafted with it's only about £2.

Frankly, if the price drops to £4.00 before we sell it's still a nice profit but I would rather that was my decision and not caused by company error.

Also, despite my name I am not a share dealer by any stretch of the imagination but I thought people invest money (in stocks, banks etc) for one reason, to make more money. Buying low and selling high seems the simplest way of doing that so if people want to buy 'undervalued' shares at £3.30 and stag them for a fast buck then so be it.

I'm still patiently waiting for info but already depressed. Took my Tesco trolley back to the stand but no pound coin was returned. So, on a loss at the moment.

I like it when people are objective and unbiased.

Spot on.

There is no 'right' way to invest in the stock market, even though some holier than thou types on here seem to think you should only be investing with a view to long term gains.

That's why, for example, pension funds will have very different investment aims to day traders and why any private investor will be asked by their broker what level of risk they want and if they are looking for long term growth, income, etc as part of the required 'know your customer' checks.

Anyway, isn't this Money SAVING expert? Whatever it takes to maximise the return is the aim of the game!

Final word is that we apparently opted for the certificate (100% didn't as we specifically called her father to see what he opted for and chose the same - nominee - so we were very careful about that) and there's nothing they can do.

Just have to wait for the certificate on Monday now.

Anyone briefly explain what the score is with the certificate? Whats the process for selling?

Just console yourself with all those free shares your partner got..

Why does the online equinitix share sale always have lower values than the live prices?

But there are things that its definitely recommended you don't do - like put yourself in an overdraft to buy Royal Mail shares..
