savings bank vs. shares?

I was wondering if I'd be better off cashing in my Standard Life shares and putting the money with Kaupthing Edge.
The shares were a windfall because I've been with SL forever. I was given 1370, in July 06 and now have 1480. I can't remember what they were floated at (which is largely irrelevant as I didn't pay for them) but they're now worth £2-55 each.
Is anyone else in this situation? Would it be better to sit on the shares or cash them into a high interest savings account?
Thanks for any advice.
