I would like to invest £1,000 in shares - could I please have some advice on the best way to get started?
Posted on Sep 2, 2010 by anon

Looking at the prices of the shares I have, it seems as though my GBP share prices are quoted in pence, e.g. Dragon Oil @ 420.25 actually means £4.20; however, my US shares appear to be quoted in USD, e.g. a price of 420.25 would actually mean 420 dollars and 25 cents. Is this correct?

I've been given some shares and don't know whether to have them held where they are electronically or transfer to a hard copy certificate I hold myself - is there any advantage either way?
