Think half the country has applied.

£750 being the minimum ammount the public can buy,I wouldn't think so

[charliebird123]

Well meybe just  a quarter then eh ?

Another disgusting giveaway by the Tories, most to their Pals in the City

All our nationalised industries sold for under market value, with the poorest getting NOTHING

[al**bear]

So, massively oversubscribed , Government undervalues another of our assets, looks set to be priced at £3.30, but already trading on grey market at  £4.00

[charliebird123]

Just been announced £3.30 per share.

A National disgrace , in a time of Cuts, the Tories line the pockets of the City again

SHARES now trading at £4.52

Hedge fund Lansdowne made £20 million from Royal Mail flotation overnight. Its founder Paul Ruddock funds the Tory Party and was put forward for a  Knighthood by David Cameron

So some people buy shares for £3.50 each

Hypothetically, in time, these shares rise to £10 each

The advisors tell people to sell now before the price drops.

Seems logical, but who do they sell them to, who would want them at that price, when the same advisors are telling people not to buy them yet, but wait until the price drops.

Or am I missing something, and it is not as simple as that

Shares soar on first sales on open market

already at £4.81

More of our assests given away on the cheap

and no sign of shame from the Toffs in power, handing their mates, yet more £millions

That's just over £12,000 per PO employee.(they were all given 2,500 shares each). 

Many of the shares will have been bought up by pension funds which help people with company pensions so I can't see a problem with that.

Shares should be sold at the correct price and as an Investment, for FUTURE growth, not sold cheap, so they can sold for a quick buck by spivs

The latest designs for the newly privatised Royal Mail’s 1st and 2nd class stamps have been unveiled – along with the new company logo.

The compositions are meant to reflect the international flavour of the recently privatised company’s new owners:

Yes, it will be interesting to see how many Royal Mail staff have confidence in their own company - they were all given 725 shares each, free - and how many cash them in.

Will they be toffs or spivs or investors?
