Moneysupermarket sharewatch

After radio silence for a few weeks, Travelsupermarket parent company Moneysupermarket has finally listed on the London Stock Exchange.

Here is its share ticker from Yahoo! Finance.

Founder Simon Nixon, pictured left alongside brother and Travelsupermarket boss Chris Nixon, appear to be smiling rather nervously on the first day of trading last week - perhaps because they just discovered the share price had tumbled by almost 10% (a cool £100 million) in the first few hours. They did recover (the shares and the Nixons).

Other recent City convert Thomas Cook has seen its price climb back slightly in recent weeks after shares lost almost a quarter of their value in mid-July.
