Nice one, I'd say sell straight away and more than double the money but he obviously knows a thing or two about it if he's done that well.

hope thats not true as thats well against insider trading rules... as is usual, i would imagine people who make a fortune of them over the past week will be investigated to check connections etc.

It was on the radio that they are another 'too big to fail' company so it was worth the risk even if you didn't know the CEO.

Could have easily gone under imo.. its good they are bouncing back - the shares were a good deal when they were low, didnt expect them to be this much higher less than a week on..
Was saying to one of the guys at work that i fancied AEA technologies last week - they went up over 80% today alone

Surely because someone on the radio says they are too big to fail you wouldn't go out and put £9k on it?
Didn't see the edited post but I think he got incredibly lucky.

could always take out the profit he has made and keep the £9k in. if the shares go up again then good and well. if they go to shit hes still up on money.

I don't really get why anyone thinks they are too big to fail. Look at Lehman Brothers for example.
The UK economy is already up shit creek, I can hardly see the government bailing out a high street travel agent which is a dying industry anyway due to the likes of Expedia etc..

so basicly you just sign up to what ever site it may be and you will then get to see a huge list of companies you can buy shares in for x amount of pounds and you just choose how many you want to buy. i asume there is probably a minimum amount.
am i right?

i see. does the charge amount depend on how much you invest? in other words is it like a percentage of the investment? or just a standard fee for any investment.
