Selling Shares

[mneame]

Hi,

Does anyone have any advice on selling some shares that we, well the wife, has? She was given them as part of her bonus a few years back. She no longer works for the company as they closed her office and made her redundant last year. When that happened she was give a share certificate. Now the price of the shares is starting to look favourable we'd like to sell them to capitalise.

Thanks,

Matt.

Speak to your bank in the first instance - they probably have a stock broking service. Easiest way of doing it for a one off sale.

Quite expensive in my opinion. My first trade cost me £200 at the worlds local bank, compared to £10 online. Open a TD Waterhouse account (or similar), send them the documents, and then you can buy and sell all day long to your hearts content. Sounds tricky, but it works.

I also use the world's local bank and it costs £11. maybe you did it a while back when stock brokers seemed to think they could charge what they want for their mystical services?
