Anyone know anything about shares ?

[Tillyscoutsmum]

Talk to me like I am a complete idiot ..... please

I have some Standard Life shares which I need to claim by the end of this week. I've only just found out I have them (I got them when they demutualised a couple of years ago but my ex employee hasn't sent any of the correspondence on until today )

So - I can either cash them in or keep them.

Are shares generally quite low at the moment ? Or does it depend on what they are ? Does anyone know about Standard Life shares specifically ? Is there any website I can see what price they are now compared to, say, the last few years ?

Apologies for dull topic

Shameless bump

share price here

price chart here

Looks like it's pretty low at the moment, you might be better hanging on to them.

thanks so much - the price chart is the sort of thing I was after

thanks again
