Westlife - the Irish popsters "co-managed" by Ronan Keating - are "overpriced" say the majority of popExers... Despite having their 5th and latest single go straight in at number one, as did the previous four, market forces have forced the value of their shares down from a peak of 1041 to 907 pence, nearly a pound below their IPO price.
