Investors seeking a cheap, nofrills way to sell privatisation shares need look no further than the post box. Most stockbrokers offer bargainbasement deals on postal trades. They are ideal for selling a small holding for the lowest possible mission. But the arrangements leave investors at the mercy of the Royal Mail and a seller will not know in advance how much a sale will produce. Data processing engineer Mark Stanistreet of Bradford sold by post after buying a few National Power and PowerGen shares when they were privatised. He says: I didn’t really know where to go to for help. An information slip with the shares gave details of Yorkshire Building Society’s share shop service, which offered to sell for a flat fee of 163。5. It was an ideal first step that showed me how easy and cheap it is to sell shares. I have been investing in a small way since then. I use Yorkshire’s telephone service, which has a 163。9 minimum fee. Many stock brokers offer postal deals as part of their usual dealing services, but clients may normally sell only big pany or privatisation shares this way.

Now, go through the text quickly and answer the question. With increasing prosperity, Western European youth is having a fling that is creating distinctive consumer and cultural patterns. The result has been the increasing emergence in Europe of that phenomenon well known in America as the youth market. This is a market in which enterprising businesses cater to the demands of teenagers and older youths in all their rock mania and popart forms. In Western Europe, the youth market ma y appropriately be said to be in its infancy. In some countries such as Britain, West Germany and France, it is more advanced than in others. Some manifestations of the subject of anized consumer research and promotion. Characteristics of the evolving European youth market indicate dissimilarities as well as similarities to the American youth market. The similarities: The market’s basis is essentially the same more spending power and freedom to use it in the hands of teenagers and older youth. Young consumers also make up an increasingly high proportion of the population. As in the United States, youthful tastes in Europe extend over a similar range of products records and record players, transistor radios, leather jackets and 中國最大的管理資料下載中心 (收集 \整理 . 部分版權(quán)歸原作者所有 ) 第 18 頁 共 29 頁 way out. extravagantly styled clothing, cosmetics and soft drinks. Generally it now is difficult to tell in which direction transAtlantic teenage influences are flowing. Also, a pattern of conformity dominates European youth as in this country, though in Britain the object is to wear clothes that make the wearer stand out. but also make him in, such as tight trousers and precisely tailored jackets. Worship and emulation of idols in the entertainment field, especially the pop singers and other performers is pervasive. There is also the same exuberance and unpredictability in sudden fad switches. In Paris, buyers of stores catering to the youth market carefully watch what dress is being worn by a popular television teenage singer to be ready for a sudden demand for copies. In Stockholm other followers of teenage fads call the youth market attractive but irrational. The most obvious differences between the youth market in Europe and that in the United States is in size. in terms of volume and variety of sales, the market in Europe is only a shadow of its American counterpart, but it is a growing shadow. But there are also these important dissimilarities generally with American youth market: In the European youth market, unlike that of that United States, it is the working youth who provides the bulk of purchasing power. On the average, the schoolfinishing age still tends to be 14 years. This is the maximum age to which pulsory education extends, and with Europe’s industrial manpower shortage, thousands of teenage youths may soon attain ines equal in many cases to that of their fathers. 中國最大的管理資料下載中心 (收集 \整理 . 部分版權(quán)歸原作者所有 ) 第 19 頁 共 29 頁 Although, because of general prosperity, European youths are beginning to continue school studies beyond the pulsory maximum age, they do not receive anything like the pocket money or allowances of American teenagers. The European average is about ’5 to ’10 a month. Working youth, consequently, are the big spenders in the European youth market, but they also have less leisure than those staying on at school. who in turn have less buying power.
