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

UP I546%

Back to 10p must have been a glitch

Amazing almost 1 bill shares traded.

I sold all my holdings a few months ago at 1.60p. No not bragging about it as I had bought only a couple of months earlier at 2.40p.
Apart from the usual none confidence in banks, I feel as soon as short selling was again allowed on banks, these drastic drops in the sp were inevitable, although obviously the lets try anything without fully thinking it through (reduction in VAT, the initial throwing vast amounts of cash at banks without a plan) strategy of this excuse for a government is the main reason.
Shares have always been a gamble, but in the present climate anyone trying to read the direction of banking shares, is in my opinion taking the biggest market gamble possible.

More bad news is on the way according to latest reports this share is a complete gamble.

closing auction price was 12.40 ..... have had to be content with shorting LLOY as IG have shut their books for new orders on RBS

Possibly not a good idea to short the banks at the moment; if they get run into the ground then the whole bucket of sh*t will hit the fan.

As stated on another site, if we dealt with those who knowingly lied to the market, which includes many of our banks directors who openly stated that there were no more 'known' write downs due to all (again that word known) bad debt being declared, many would end up serving long jail sentences.
It is clearly apparent that although they did not know the exact figures, they mislead the markets with their blatant lies.
Don't hold your breath though, waiting for justice.

It hasn't uncrossed yet!

5 when uncrossed?!

HSBA LLOY RBS still in auction.

RBS adopted the same lending strategy as the present government. Can the loan be repaid? No? OK give them the money then!

i scarcely think that my short of 7k will have much effect on a company that trades a zillion a day!

10k just gone through @273 - someone very happy or very sad!

edit uncrossed @11.6

just noticed thats down 66.6% - spooky

"i scarcely think that my short of 7k will have much effect on a company that trades a zillion a day!"

Imagine the chaos if they had all been in certificated form! Modernisation has it's benefits!

I was referring to the number of shares traded today by the way!

I think anyone still buying shares (long) in this should be certified. Sorry couldn't resist.

:o)

posted video before ref. why banks will fall, but didn't work.

all b

I predict 2.5p tomorrow just a bit of fun.
