Off topic / FNB Share Investor Query
« on: September 22, 2014, 11:38:49 am »
Hey all,
So I took the plunge and bought real shares. Finally I'm in the market, and probably stand to lose a lot as a beginner
but live and learn I guess... At least I have put in what I can afford.
Anyway just a quick query, maybe something I've missed or did not read in the fine print somewhere...
On FNB Share Investor a couple days ago I went in at 54.89 on SHF. The buy-in was confirmed at this price and I have the SMS/Email etc... to show it.
But today it says on my portfolio that purchase price is 55.44?
Is this maybe including all the fees? Hope this isn't a real newbie question...
It does say that it takes 5 days "for the trade to settle". And that I will be SMS'd every step of the way... but this didn't seem to occur so I doubt it is that.
