Pittance for initial preferential stock offering? (4)
I believe the answer is:
soup
'stock offering?' is the definition.
'soup' can be an answer for 'stock' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'offering?' bit.
'pittance for initial preferential' is the wordplay.
'pittance for' becomes 'sou' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'initial' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'preferential' is 'p'.
'sou'+'p'='SOUP'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for soup that I've seen before include "Bisque, for example" , "Eg, minestrone" , "Cock-a-leekie, for example" , "Opus (anag) - typical starter" , "Liquid - course" .)
