ANYONE KNOW WHY THE ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND IS SHOWING A SHARE PRICE AROUND THE 6.59 MARK WHEN IT WAS 18.00 OR SO THE OTHER WEEK OR AM I GOING STRANGE?????????????

Looks as though some creative accounting has gone into RBS's results due to the takeover of ABN AMRO which has assisted in masking the real effects of the subprime credit crunch. The actual picture hopefully may emerge when they produce the next interim results in six months time, till then the jury remains out.

Like Halifax, i don't think this is a long term hold until after the next results and the ABN AMRO effects are fully known

took my profit at 4.24 and ran. was hoping to stay in for the divi. may buy back for divi if SP right and i feel so inclined. turned to be my only good play y/day[the rest stunk] :(

Alex

On my accumulate list RBS, buying up to 4.60 as and when funds permit.

Wall st down 300points tonite I would wait a while before buying in.

Shorting Wall St also Mitzy, have been for a while now.

Who could blame you explosive its the only way dont fight against the market as you will lose sub 300p for RBS.

Check B/S after the bell!

OK Fred..

B/S goes for $2. Despite "challenging times," the U.S. government is "on top" of the unfolding financial problems, President Bush said Monday at a Cabinet meeting. Bush said he was supportive of the actions of the Federal Reserve to restore order to the markets. "Our financial institutions are strong," Bush said, adding that "capital markets are functioning efficiently."

LOL!
Is that why the FED have to keep bailing out markets?

Where is the line in the sand..

With the ostrich's head I should think!

lol.

The line in the sand is under water..lol.

Could be the low and the sp to bounce now.

with rbs looking so cheap on last results why no director buying? more bad news they haven't told us about?

Wolseley directors were buying at 8.10ish!
