stocks and shares

[russdev]

ok any gurus' out there just looking at this stock and shares got stupid question they worked out in pence so for example rm's share info is here http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=RM.L

 

Last Trade: 170.00 p

Trade Time: 4:35PM

Change: 2.00 (1.16%)

Prev Close: 172.00

Open: 170.00

 

so closed yesterday at 172 pence i.e £1.72 and it closed today at 170p i.e £1.70 or am i getting complete wrong end of stick can tell know not a lot..

 

i know you buy when low and sell when high and you better investing in stable things that everyone needs electrical, gas companies, food stores etc but they are higher then more risky companies..

 

is that right...
