He sold some of his shares in Bank of Scotland and sent his shari certificate in. The hj changed brokjt and wanted to sell the rest of his shares. They wouldn't lit him because his certificate was still with broker A and hj therefore had no proof that hj owned the shares. Normally you have to trade in what is known as T plus 5 - which means within five days of carrying out the trade. >>>>>>>>>> Mortgages 250 Tax Guide 270 Shaw's Shares 202 TV Guide 600 Update TV/Radio Markets Main MenuP203 CEEFAX 2 203 Thu 25 Dec 22:28/00 If the cat has eaten it, the post 5/6 got it or the broker has it, you may bj able to arrange special trading terms with your broker. So you might settle within T plus 10 which gives you ten days to find the certificate. Although trading in this way can bj more expensive.
