Declan Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 It does kind of make sense, it's not our taxes that have been supporting it all these years. Seems only fair that the current owners are the ones who get the opportunity to invest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrie Stevens Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 The Island has its own mail service not part of Royal mail and which is not (yet) being privatised although watch and wait for the merger (at a price gratefully received by cash strapped IOM Govt) with the privatised organisation once it has settled down, modernised, automated and cut staff costs)...Could also be that the IOM is not in both EU and EEA and the sale of such as Royal Mail may be covered by various rules and regulations which the UK must adhere to????

thebees Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Couldn't you get a broker to buy them for you? Maybe your bank could get them, I think most of the high street banks have FA's, investment staff & those sort of things, not that they're allowed to do anything without the say so of their instruction manuals but, might be worth a try...... if you think they're a good investment (at this time).

alibaba Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 By the looks of things you could buy them (if you're allowed) on the initial offer and sell them the next day for a tidy profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at Barclays Stockbrokers and Hargreaves Lansdowne's website (which I think are the two largest online brokers) both are specific that IOM & CI residents can't apply.

Pierrot Lunaire Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Fucking scandalous selling the Royal Mail. If you see Sid, tell him he's a cunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebees Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Sid who? I can't just go walking up to people called Sid and calling them a cunt, can I? Well, I suppose I could but are you going to be there to fix my broken noses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Sid who? I can't just go walking up to people called Sid and calling them a cunt, can I? Well, I suppose I could but are you going to be there to fix my broken noses? Perhaps you're not old enough (or your memory's not good enough) to remember the "If you see him, tell Sid" advertising campaign, which was iirc for the water sell off in about 1988 - or it could have been gas. Anyway, after several share issues where people had been making free money by getting shares and selling them straight away for a profit, one of them suddenly went wrong, was over-valued and share price instantly fell. I remember many student types who sank their entire student grant into the shares crying about it on the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
