The London Stock Exchange is a PLC. Shares are currently being sold at 532.50 GBX, how many shares are there overall though?
What about the symbols, are they the same too? I'm looking to start trading in the london stock exchange and i have the symbols for the companies that are listed on new york stock exchange, i dont know if the symbol used in the new york stock exchange can be used in the london stock exchange.
No companies that trade on the New York stock ex are US companies those on London are British. Just a word of advise wouldn't it be worth knowing what you are buying and selling before you put some cash in?
I am to move over to be with my british girlfriend and work on wall street and want to know can i work on the London stock exchange or do i need a visa, different qualifications?
Yes, you need a work visa. Plus, you usually need to be sponsored by a UK company, and it's not as easy as you might think. It also must be done while you are here in the US. Getting a work permit once there on a tourist visa is next-to-impossible. BTW without a student or work visa, you can only stay 90 days. Granted, you can always go over to Paris for a week and come back for another 90 days.

I use TD Waterhouse and E-Trade, but neither of these give me the ability to trade on the London Stock Exchange (online or over the phone). I am looking to occasionally buy and sell shares of British companies. Any recommendations?
If you're in Canada, TD can certainly place orders on London stock exchange for you. So can any other broker.
Trades cannot be done online as far as I know. Must be phoned in. Problem is the commissions are quite high. About $150.00.
At least one online brokerage offers London and other foreign exchange trades at ultra low commissions. It's Interactivebrokers. Dot com for the US, dot ca for Canada. Warning: IB has sophisticated software, an experienced clientele, is not for the average retail investor.
London Stock Exchange Chief Rolet Says Markets Need Dark Pools
Oct. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Xavier Rolet , chief executive officer of London Stock Exchange Group Plc , said so-called dark pool trading systems that are being scrutinized by U.S. and European regulators contribute to the stability of markets.
The pools, which allow participants to trade securities off-exchange without disclosing their identities, are necessary to prevent volatility caused by large movements of assets, Rolet said in an interview in London yesterday.
The “need to effect large crosses of risk not just for equities, but for fixed income, foreign exchange, for many asset classes, matches the needs of corporates, investors and intermediaries,” the bourse chief said. “That need has existed for decades and will continue to exist. If you do so in an underlying lit pool, that can be very disruptive indeed, to the point where you might even prevent the transaction from happening.”
U.S., European and U.K. regulators are examining dark pools as they respond to the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission proposed rules on Oct. 21 that would require dark pools to publicly report some bids once they handle 0.25 percent of a stock’s average daily volume. Electronic networks in the U.S. usually shut down trading in a security when they approach the existing 5 percent limit.
