Interesting bit of news, most British financiers thought United's share offering was massively overvalued and it appears they were right. They started the shares off at $20, lowered it to $14 because $20 wasnt going to work and it appears that their value is actually significantly lower than that.

United's current share price is $14, but millions of shares have been bought by the seven banks underwriting the IPO, and PrivCo calculated their true value is just $4.97 each - giving United a value of around $800 million rather than the $3.3 billion the American family had wanted.
