I dont know as I dont use them but I would hope instantly as most brokers would.

Who are you buying in holland, all I know out there is Shell

Account is setup already. Money deposited.

It's a small company - still researching them before committing though.

I got some shares last friday for the first time.

Barc @ 2.63

Jumped up to 2.74 today. Beginners luck. shame I haven't made any money :/

silversurfer · 7 Jul 2010 at 08:53

A reasonable range for Barc would be 254 to 320. If you look back a year or late last year it demostrated this a couple times. ultimately the market may pull lower I think and below 250 would be volatile especially

Hmmm, MTA up 8%, NTOG down 8%!! These 2 shares will be the death of me with their up and down every day!

300p*? lol its never been lower than 300p but yeh I agree I was tempted but thought it would go sub 300s

rojones · 7 Jul 2010 at 10:30

They were below 300p last week. I remember it being 296p at the time i was looking.

why does the graph shown by bbc not go below 300p then?

52 week high: 655.4
52 week low: 302.9

gord · 7 Jul 2010 at 10:38

Some brokers managed deals sub 300p. I bought at less than 302.9.

Indices and trackers can't account for every deal fluctuation. Its an indication... especially from free services.

I also saw it dip below 300p last week, I'm using shareprice to get a live stream.

Simon · 7 Jul 2010 at 11:15

It hit 296p definately.

About 300 people where I work watch the price religiously at the moment

Le_Petit_Lapin · 7 Jul 2010 at 12:20

Is this the right thread for this video?

rz30 · 7 Jul 2010 at 12:29

296p not 290p, my mistake, i use yahoo finance. So far that's 64p per share. I just knew they had bottomed out as well, didn't have the capital to make it worth while though.

Insider trading at an epic level:

The US government has asked BP to tell it of any major asset sales or merger deals in advance, as it continues to keep a close eye on the oil giant.

Morgoth · 7 Jul 2010 at 15:51

Hooray, my DES/RRL portfolio is now in profit.

JAYJT29 · 7 Jul 2010 at 16:01

I got in with BP @ £3.01, in for the long haul

How does that work? I'm going to send them my own letter. From the department of gord and ask them to tell me too.

It's BS! What are they going to do? Complain about the spill and then ride the SP back up?

Firestar_3x · 7 Jul 2010 at 16:45

I'm very very close to sticking some more money into RRL, i've currently got around 2k invested with them but i've got the urge to sink another 6k in before the end of week.
