Weinberg disgrace
Article Abstract:
UK private share ownership has been examined by the Weinberg Committee which the London Stock Exchange commissioned following changes in regulations. The changes mean that private investors would have less access to new share issues. The committee has not taken into account private investors' needs and has made no recommendation to help them gain better access to new issues. Rather the report has backed the change in regulations. The stock exchange should examine this issue and amend its regulations.

Fines to hit tardy investors hard
Article Abstract:
The London Stock Exchange will impose automatic fines for late paperwork, and private investors could be especially vulnerable if they use paper stock certificates. Fines will be issued even when the problems has not been caused by the broker or investor, but by the postal services or another cause. Brokers may deal with small fines when the investor is a long-term customer, but large fines are likely to have to be paid by investors, who should thus tackle the issue of settlement times withbrokers.
