guys I've bought some shares in 2 companies using my bank as my broker. The thing is every time I check them using yahoo finance there isn't any movement at all. In fact it's been 3 days or more since anything has happened.

I bought other shares as well and these prices are updating by the second.
I'm sure these 2 companies are listed on the stock exchange.

Please Help

I've found that Yahoo often doesn't update if you use an old link - check the date on the page when you load it.

Lots of options. You can set up your companies on your home page on Google Chrome (annoying as it is in pence and fractions thereof, even for the total value of your holding). Many other search engines will also allow you to get live prices (delayed by 15" unless you pay premium rates to have real-time prices).

You can look at the London Stock exchange website itself.

I quite like http://www.iii.co.uk/ - they allow charting etc. free and, for small companies like yours, you can often see your trade on the daily chart. Looking at them iii just now, I see that midas was 16p on 27th May, 18p on Jun 1, and 18.5p yesterday. Your other one was 37p on 13 May and shot up to 45.5p on May 19, but has remained flat since. I hope you bought both before mid-May!
