Does anyone who missed out plan on buying shares first thing tomorrow? I'm considering buying at 4.55. From what I gathered the price is due to go up again tomorrow.

Its safer to buy the FTSE instead of just one share. RMG is going in there as of December anyway so you will own a bit of everything.

The fair price depends on their profit and then the costs, we dont know yet. The estimate is that £4.15 is 10 years earnings so £4.55 is on its way to expensive but I think £5 is possible yes

I`m not a great fan of trackers but having looked at this one it`s probably one of the best around especially the annual charges of .27%.
That`s £27 a year on £10k and it can be put into an ISA.

It can also be bought from HSBC direct.

I bought some Royal Mail shares through the official government website. I offered £2k as soon as the offer was open, and when there was all the speculation I made another application for £5k.

Do the £750 shares come per person or per application? How do I find out how many shares I have acquired?

Many thanks

The rules were one application per person. Unless your applications were aggregated into one you broke the rules. If so, perhaps you won't get any.

Are there any FTSE-100 trackers that have an associated dividend? Trading in individual stocks carries the extra risk, but it also means that dividends can help mitigate that risk.

After a brief Googling, I've discovered that there's a term for index trackers that include a dividend ('Total Return Index'), but does anyone know any more than the almost nothing that I do, or has any experience of such index trackers?

I think the 'L' is just to signify the London Stock Exchange. You may also see it written as LSE:RMG or LON:RMG (or just RMG!)
