[Closed] Shares for workers....

Well if 10% of shares are priced at zero - then the value of the other 90% are going to be reduced. If bike manufactures gave away 10% of their production - do you reckon the secondhand value of the bike you paid full price for would rise or fall ?

I'd guess most pensions allow people to move their money around every April. So I'm pretty sure I can transfer my pension out of UK listed companies and into cash investments or foreign investments. So many of us will be able to avoid the initial problem itself if we're lucky enough to get the timing right.

All the other consequences might be harder to avoid.
