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

short was stopped out at 22, which still left me a respectable profit ..... took my life in my hands and re-opened short at 18 ..... shall again put in a sensible stop

This is looking like suspension looming - its just lurching form auction to aution!

though CFDs do not have a time function, i would rather not be caught up in a full-blown suspension, though it would probably not be for more than a few days, if that

OMG george its 13p.

12.70 nearly finished or suspended

Its seems to be in backwardisation even when no auction flag showing - never seen this before.

you would not be able to deal

hmm! ..... how greedy do i get? ..... difficult to call .... may buy back half and then watch .... or at least i might have done had they not gone into auction yet again!

Hi fellas mitzy here do you think I will get 7p today..?

10p now is that correct.

Now on TD WATERHOUSE
15 offer 7p bid

Now 15 & 10.6 TDW

TDW are a bunch of total shits .... i shall never ever deal with them again

meanwhile, have closed entire short at 12.3 and shall sit and watch again ..... somehow i have managed to act prudently today - a rare occurrence indeed!

Was tempted to get in at 10.42 and go long for the rest of the day - should have done by the looks of it, think this will pull back up to 14 ish

RBS CEO: Government Plan Wide-ranging, Prospectively Supportive (Royal Bank Of Scotland)





LONDON -(Dow Jones)- Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC (RBS.LN) voiced its support for the package of measures announced earlier Monday by the U.K. Government, Bank of England and Financial Services Authority to aid the country's financial system.

"Overall the package is both wide-ranging and, prospectively, supportive and well-targeted. The authorities have listened to market needs and responded," RBS Chief Executive Stephen Hester said in a statement.

"We fully understand the role banks need to play in return, in providing support for our customers, and will be doing just that," said Hester.

RBS Chairman Designate Sir Philip Hampton said the effectiveness of the measure will depend, crucially, on details to come.

"Around the world, the gravity of the economic threat is causing governments and banks to work together as never before. This is appropriate given the interdependencies of modern economies," Hampton said.

The U.K. government could end up with a 70% RBS stake after agreeing to swap its GBP5 billion of preference shares for ordinary shares. The move forms part of the latest U.K. financial rescue package announced earlier Monday.
