priority shares

RobertT did you read all 447 pages as I just read the first 50 and that was it for me. Interesting reading all the same.

No I just read the summary prospectus and that was enough for me to be honest.

I have to admit I put my share offer where I put all correspondence from Royal Mail ...... in my blue wheelie bin

Some nice shiny free shares will be coming your way soon then.

With every 'city' boy squealing about it you'd be a fool not to jump on the gravy train.

they will be as well going in the blue wheelie bin because come 3 years time when they can be cashed .... they won't be worth the paper they are written on

What do you base that assumption on?

I really do hope that a lot of the posters on this thread are managers, if not then i seriously worry about achieving that vital yes vote. Greed is such a powerful drug.

Greed,really? me and the wife have a couple of (hard earned)grand in the bank earning next to no interest,so we bought some shares in the company I've worked 27 years for. We're gonna get shafted by my employer in the long run so we figure if there's a quick profit to be made first who's better qualified to have it than postman themselves?

[dubdaz]

It's happening like it or not, so you might as well try and make some money out of it.

So if they were going to gas the Jews anyway, what was wrong with taking their gold fillings?

"Godwins law'?

Greed..yes..really, and I couldn't have given a better example.

[flaminmoses]

Ive gone in for some risky trades in the last 6 months....santander in spain (not the uk shares).


royal mail is way too risky even for me.

dt123 you seem very good at casting aspersions but there's no substance to your comments, so would you mind answering a few questions please.

Why is it greed?
Why have you got a problem with what others choose to do with their own money?
What difference does it make to you whether some posties buy a few extra shares instead of Joe Public or pension fund managers?
If our t&c’s are changed in the future, will it really matter that a small percentage of employees have a few extra shares?
Isn’t a slightly higher percentage of employee shareholders actually a good thing?

[fishtank]

What kind of profit margin are we talking about really here?
The shares are likely to hit the ground at the higher estimate of £3.30.
If things go exceptionally well they may climb to £4.00
That's something like 28% minus the bits and bobs for trading you might walk out with 20%.
That's a decent return IF all goes well but how much are you guys putting up?

Anything more than a couple of grand for guys in our financial position is risky so at best case scenario and for all the high brow city slicker bollocks on this thread you might make about £400....less tax.

I could think of less morally dubious ways to make £400,like prostitution.

I know we are just postpersons but some have worked hard all there life's why shouldn't they make a few quid. You only have to have a look in the car park what cars are there. It's like saying someone who drives a jag to work should only drive a fiesta.
