My First Win - Thanks to Dalkirst

:beer:
Just registered my first win, shares in the company that won ITV's Tycoon programme (works out to 0.125% I think).

Of course they may end being worth nothing if the business fails! So if anyone sees "micro radio controlled helicopters for the executive toy market" for sale please buy some to help me make money:)

Big thanks to Dalkirst for the original post.

  • Hiya,
    I also won this too.
    The only thing I am not too confident with is the fact that you have to register with the share centre, which is fine of course, but being the cynic that I am , when it asked for bank details I stalled..... Wonder if anyone can look at this site and see if it's legit. http://www.share.com/tycoon

    Thanks :)

    The Share Centre is a fully legit online share trading site.

    In order to hold the Tycoon shares you will need a share trading account.

    As far as I am aware they just keep the bank account details such that when you sell shares they can transfer money to your bank account directly.

    Got my sums slightly wrong the shares work out to 0.0125% rather than 0.125%

    Given this I need to amend my first post to -

    if anyone sees "micro radio controlled helicopters for the executive toy market" for sale please buy 10 [strike]some[/strike] to help me make money

    Thanks:)
