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?????????????

I guess I was right with my 99p then..lol.

nah u were wrong mitzy......i said why didnt u predict quid or 95p etc........its 90p......so u were too optimistic.....10% out already.

That depends if you support Celtic or not ..lol..

good god no......wish they pee off back to ireland

Is mdx a bank or a builder scotty ?

Christ scotty I feel sorry for you mate. You have so obviously been very badly burnt by the SM crash, hence you're denial which shows thr' your ramblings and 'it's the end of the world' routine.

Eventually the world will recover in some shape and form but I suspect you will be many thousands lighter. Don't worry about it, you're not on your own.

Looks like banks will take a hit again today.

still awaiting news of this package.

CEO and Chairman gone

no I don't think so although they should go.

Think Sky is reporting that but Gov has said not true. We will see

perhaps you're right cause Telegraph is reporting that

Fred should have gone 6 months ago.

The government offer is a good thing for the wider market... it means smaller banks won't be scrambling around trying to find money. RBS should have sufficient capital to move through 2009 otherwise it would had sold its insurance businesses at rock bottom prices. (It has sold off Angel Trains, sold Tesco Finacne, many of its buildings, issued new shares... amounting to figures much higher than all of its write downs). Just glad this bail out facility is available, it will ensure greater confidence in banking in the UK and stop people mass-withdrawing and reignite crossbank lending... even though banks might not take it up. Best thing to do is for the banks to take up a few nominal pounds to ensure they retain the right to take up money next year.

Falling down again I dont believe it..

Just fish some at 114p

WHAT A DAY

XST.

Never seen such volatility in a share on a daily basis..today you could buy @73p in the morning and sell for 122p in the afternoon for a 70% profit..not a bad days work.

theres money to be made if you dont mind the risk.

As a matter of interest what were the spreads like please?

It's not quite as easy as that. Most of the day I found I couldn't trade it at all. The volatility has wiped out retail investors. You could easily have gone long at say 1 and would not have been able to sell and collect profits. When the market was open to you again the price might have been 90p!

I feared that may be the case, but did you try putting in a limit order?

No I didn't. I didn't intend to trade but I was just putting dummy ones in to test the market. These sp's are extraordinary. I have just sold one that I already had (ENRC) and made money but all my instincts say to day trade the market atm would be suicide and a loss of a great amount of money!
