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

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!

"all my instincts say to day trade the market atm would be suicide and a loss of a great amount of money!"..I wouldn't argue with that DD.

I disagree this is the greatest penny share trading share ever.

very difficult but managed to buy two lots and unlike my usual deals am still in [minor] profit ... at this price must be a bargain, but sadly no more cash available.

Buy @90p sell 115p thats 30% profit.. easy money..


Yesterday 70% so thats 100% in 2 days.. .

BUY 9 Sell 11.40 = profit 2.40 no dealing or tax costs included enough for a free Latte in Starbucks Friday, that is if you have the voucher from Moneysupermarket.com

its stuck at this range now,may start to move once the usa markets open.

RBS now at 79p scary

Steady at 79p funny that.

sssshhhh.
