I know this is a rookie question before you all yell, but I'm just wondering what unit the number representing a stock is in? for instance on yahoo share price chart there is one for 758.5, Is this Pounds or pence? so is it ￡7 or ￡758? Or of this isn't anything to do with it please enlighten me haha
