I heard that these shares don't pay any dividends, is that true? If not, why would anyone buy them?
--------------------------------

Because United's value continues to grow. So they can sell the shares for a profit later on down the line.

Yep, that's the theory, that's also what two stock exchanges didn't buy into at all.

NYSE must have a larger share of mug punters

And here was me thinking that it was down to instability in the Asian market.

That affects the LSE does it?

Did the club even look at the LSE?

Donald

You being a plum again?

We are talking about the NYSE here. Of course there are plenty of mugs.

There are also a lot of people who know when they are onto a good thing, as well.

You're not very clued up are you?

"The club had tried unsuccessfully to list the shares in Singapore, but a reported lack of interest led it to pull the sale.

It then tried to list in London, before confirming that it would list in New York."

From the bbc. Don't see anything about instability coming into play.

Ah here comes "University of Lifer" Vidicschin. Of course mate, you obviously know a lot about football stocks, like the fact that every single one that's been listed has performed awfully and eventually de-listed.

You knew that though didn't you when you suggest people know they're onto a good thing?

......................

I guess you have never heard of Magnier and McManus then.

Pretty certain they made 280 million of football stocks.

Now, off you go. You have nothing to offer here.

Oh I see here comes the predictable poorly reasoned offering. The one investor that "made some money" out of football stocks is obviously a shining beacon of light showing that money can obviously be made from football stocks.

Conveniently you managed to forget the army of investors that went bankrupt over them. I think you'll find these outnumber the ones that made money out of them a hundred fold at the minimum.

Bit like that guy that suggests you don't need an education cos Alan Sugar is rich, while working his backside off in MaccyD's along with the legions of others that went that route.

It's about stacking the odds in your favour, not claming that someone can win a 100-1 shot once in a while.

I'd suggest you invest if you're so clued up but I know you don't have the money, I do know that all the smart investors I know wouldn't touch this with a very long bargepole

Pretty sure they never looked at London.

Hong Kong and Singapore they tried first then went to New York.

Poor reporting by the BBC

You do know that they were not the only ones who made tons of money from United shares?

What, you didn't?

Prize plum lad.

Vidics

You do know you completely ignored my second paragraph don't you? Want me to state it again:

Prize poor lad

I didn't bother ti read it after you got the first one so wrong.

Who has that much time to waste on idiocy?

Whatever poor lad, you're a fish out of water here, stick to the football.

The only reason to buy the shares would be

1. A fan
2. Confident of the club increasing its revenue streams in future years
3. Play the long game and wait till a takeover is attempted in the future and the share price jumps.

The Diva, yes they did look at listing in London, but the dual share structure isn't allowed, and the market was tepid.

Oh and they really did want London over New York because the tax rate is 7% lower.

$14.02

Price holding steady on Day 1 at least

$14 at close of the day

Going fine

First time I have heard anything about United looking at LSE. Everything I have read has only mentioned Singapore and Hong Kong.

I also read that we were advised not to float on the Asians markets due to instability. Just as F1 were.

$16.13, we're going up
