RE: One share20 Jun 2019 19:29
Many years ago, i sold some shares over the phone, back in the days of 56k dial up, deal went through, i pulled out the certificate to post off and realised i had sold one more share than i owned. Phoned the brokers back up and they purchased me an extra share this was not uncommon I was assured !
In this day and age of internet share dealing and accounts I would think that is much less likely to happen, more likely accidently pressing a deal button after a doing a 'fake' purchase
