Well, took the plunge as a long term buy. Quite happy with what I've read about the company

quiet here- the lack of major fluctuation or ramping either way is a good imho.

Small piece in the City's Evening Standard business section.

The flotation of Worldpay is starting to look more impressive by the day. It could have easily have gone the way of First Data, another payments processing company, which flopped on debut in New York yesterday in the year's largest listing.
Worldpay jumped 10% on its first stockmarket outing on Tuesday with the valuation racing past £5b - the fact it didn't drop below the offer price was a triumph in itself. The company's shares dipped by 0.5p to 260p today as retail investors began trading after institutions made a killing.
Worldpay looks like a one-off in what has been a tough year to go public. City sources had hinted that the IPO floodgates would open after the election, but market volatility appears to have put a number of new issues on ice.

Tarny - Can i ask which broker you used? My main broker does not even have this listed yet.

I know that many brokers don't deal in a stock for retail investors until its gone unconditional.

Thanks

Folks selling Worldpay and buying OPAY which is about half the price

[arlington chetwynd talbot] 14/10/2015 09:01

Actually my post doesn't answer you question lol. I guess if you paid the float price from a broker it's treated as a new issue and not a trade so is exempt from SD? That's the only reason I can think of.

[arlington chetwynd talbot] 14/10/2015 08:55

I would assume that's due to the conditional dealings Tarny, unconditional from Friday.

Hi can someone please help....I bought this stock yesterday and it didn't have stamp duty, but today it does. Does anyone know why? TIA

The valuation is bonkers unless someone knows a bit more about future valuation.I said the same thing about ALM and it went up, up, and up, and I still think it's a big pile of poo

Seems expensive to me, in 2014 Annual Report made a £55 mill loss although it may just make a nett profit in 2015, but then again £2 billion of debt.

Am pretty sure you cant deal in the shares until they become 'unconditional' on Friday.

Some spread brokers might have this available but i used a CFD taken out early this morning.

[saj3] 13/10/2015 15:50

so we can't buy any before Friday then

[1861andy] 13/10/2015 13:43

No i don't think this was available to retail investors just ii, unconditional dealings start on Friday i think.
