Sold at £4.82, 6p bellow close, If I hadn't been working tomoz I would have held out for the opening boost but expect them to take a drop when all the automated sellers orders go on sale before 11am, then a further dive when the result of the ballot is announced. :nana

Either RM will deal and avoid strike action to keep shares boyant or they will drop again with strike action. Might even be worth buying a few back at this point :angel

You know what they say.
The bigger they are the harder they fall and these shares are now seriously overpriced as far as the intrinsic value of the company is concerned.
It's certainly a brave buyer now.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Well fishtank I think the opposite to you and I put my money on these shares. The wife asked were the deposit for a property has Gone as she saw the bank account this morning. A union bloke told me Friday how they would drop Monday. Well I think he got that wrong but we all get things wrong. I suppose your be hoping of a big fall tomorrow and you can cheer as I will still be keeping mine. Money does not mean a lot to me but I enjoy a punt here and there and take my chances. You might not think I am working class but you could not be further from the truth. All I have done the last 30 years is work and maybe I have been lucky but I have made some bad choices in life which have cost me dear..anyway we shall see what the future holds..

My bad, thought it closed at 4 not 4.30, 8p bellow then. never mind was glad to get through to them on the blower rather than the automated fiddle tbh, think there will be some drop off from here on in, certainly until xmas profits are announced. A pound in the hand and all that :thumbup

I simply meant it's a brave buyer who buys at £4.89 a share.
I don't think there is much profit left at that price and a bigger chance of losses.
It's very unlikely anyone will lose money if they bought at £3.30 or even up to around £4.30.

Just looking at the after close sales, and the big sales seem to be for selling. These trades are big investors dealing in millions. So to me that means they will open lower tomorrow or do they now something about the strike result or could be big institutions have reached there ceiling price which generated sales. Ie automated sales

Sold mine around 1pm today, I don't think there will be a lot of upward movement from here on in so took the near 50% profit. If I had £10k worth I'd probably leave it for the dividends, but with smaller amounts you may as well take the money IMO.

Why is it that some off you have your email's and other like me have not? We could lose out if the price goes down after unions announcement.

Look on the bright side you are unlikely to lose since the price won't go anywhere near the £3.30 you paid for them,you might just not make as much as others.
It's money for nothing that was never your's to start with so how much complaining can you do?
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Could be as late as Thursday according to the Beeb, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-24531439" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I guess it is just the luck of the draw if they have 690,000 individual personalised emails to send, though you would have thought they have had long enough to sort it :arrrghhh

On the plus side at least if everyone hasn't had their email then they can't all have rung the automated line to sell at once and end up with millions of shares being dumped at once which would have really pushed the price down, so you never know one could cancel out the other. All the best

Apparently 15,000 of staff, which is around 10%, took the opportunity to buy additional shares.
