"So these Commonwealth Shares, it becomes clear, are simply shares in companies that were privatized by the British government during the Thatcher reforms of the early 1980s — and, thanks to monopoly positions, government support, and an eager nation of investors, they certainly did very well. These were the old national companies that ran things like the railways, the telephone system, etc., and were gradually sold off to the public to be run, as they generally have been for many more years in the US, as public corporations."

Don't get too excited, this is no big deal and is mostly a cool marketing gimmick from a newsletter company.
