Royal Mail float

The HL website appears to be up and running again.

Still won't let me log in. And now down to 430ish.

I'd be banging on this bad idea in 10 years also!

I'm going to buy some new squirrel fur lined leather gloves with the money I make for the 10 minutes of work it took to make this FREE Tory money.

Big investors bought early, now shorting I suppose. Probably little chance of going up before end of day.

Lay back, take it easy. Get compensation from HL.

Yes.

Ok, BT got sold in time when there was massive raise in market of communications.

British Gas - people need warm houses to survive - demand for product is inherent and energy costs have been going mainly up since late 80s.

BA - very good reputation and people in this country love to get to a sunny beach.

What's there for Royal Mail? Crazy union relations (10% shares given to them won't change much), monopoly is gone, core letter delivery business is crumbling, there only thing that's could have gone well for them is parcel delivery (due to online trade) but they are tulip at it and many companies switched to their competitors. Lots of Post Offices got closed to cut costs and that greatly undermined whole service - they could have conrnered the market of online deliveries if they were actually open until later than tulipy 5:30pm.

Good luck with their shares.

Ouch.

Ouch.

What?

[GazCol]

What?

You first make out that investing in any privatisation is a bad idea; you're given examples as to why it's not and now it's a bad idea as it's Royal Mail. It's not, embrace the sale join us on the Tory Gravy Train.

£300 may be insignificant to some, but I am more than happy with it for next to no work.

It's £300 for 10 minutes (and I'm being generous) work.
