    The clue was "then cancelling them" :D

    Don't have enough to bother but I think those who dumped above 350 did well. But time will tell. Anyway on to Infinis.

    After that there are 6 or 7 more IPOs to come but I don't fancy any of them. But who knows perhaps Mr Cameron can find something else to sell. How about HM Gov??? :rotfl:

    Just bailed out and made me and the missus £300. Not bad for 2 pensioners. I know they might continue to rise but we're happy at that.

    I think I'll hold till unconditional trading opens. Sure it could go either way, but I think unconditional trading allows more people to trade and so likely to push up rather than down.

    A positive thought so tx for that. Any idea when trading becomes unconditional? I assume earlier than I had previously thought as it all came forward.
