Good luck -

50-55p

I guess you need to try and ramp this hlyeo after your rather smug impatient ill-timed purchase in excess of 1.00

it's 37p now

RBS well down the road to recovery according to Simon Hester,definitely "the" 2010 recovery stock.

1 year chart below showing 25+50 dma ..... 200 dma is at 40, but i removed it as it made a bit of a mess of the chart

34 (50 dma) or arguably 32 (25dma) lok good points at which to buy

Is the guy in charge on this planet?
The comment about his parents thinking he gets paid too much - I mean.
If he wants in inflame a situation he's doing the right thing I guess.
The cheek of the greedy amazes me.
If the gov own 80% isnt it time for them to exert major pressure and remove these bafoons with heads so deep in the troff they cant see the reality of the situation?
Many people who have suffered redundancy as a result of this fiasco deserve their pound of flesh and there is plenty on this bloke to go round!!

however, as is typical, the innocent have also been nailed on the basis that the "great unwashed" don't know the difference, and (want to) believe that all "bankers" get huge bonuses.

to be more specific, why should the share traders, who primarily live and die by their success or failure, be nailed along with the main board directors and similar?

and of course the result of this hit-anyone policy will be that trading banks such as UBS and Credit Suisse will shut their london offices and go where the tax regime is not so destructive.

you might say, "so what?", but then you would be forgetting that UK's economy is now service-industry based and that includes the banks etc etc

still if you put his ball in a vice and began to turn he might just admit......he is not in touch with the plebs......a reality check every now and then from a redundant employee would help.....so lets put that in the next AGM......balls checked in the vice if not in touch with the plebs....

to whom is that directed?
apart from general spite, which perhaps gives you pleasure, what do you see as the justification for imposing a totally arbitrary and penal tax burden on a share trader at UBS?
do you think that those guys had anything at all to do with the corporate (mis)governance of the likes of RBS and LLOY?

just for the record, i am not a banker or professional share trader or anything of that ilk.

Der - I have no problem with people making vast profits from hard graft - long hours - and some skill and dedication but if you have a licence to print money and a safety net for yourself what chance is there?
I'm sure this world is going mad when these guys are effectively let off the hook and allowed to troff again!! barmy

i am not disagreeing about mainboard directors and those who were in control of the (mis)governance of the "failed" banks having their bonuses or similar totally anihilated ..... however, this swingeing penalty is being levied against all and sundry in the banking sector, including the share traders ..... that just smacks of spite for political ends and is without any justification, moral or otherwise

cynic the real test for us plebs is when your prospective MP knocks on your door looking for you to give them your valuable vote,you ask them why you don't receive a cash food allowance and they do. Come on it's time people grew up and recognised what politicians are trying to do and that is deflect attention away from their proven greed which will come back to haunt them shortly at the general election.

cant wait to meet my local MP and a board member of RBS......the MP will of course call before the RBS man....be great to discuss allowances.....and claims....and where the plebs fit in.....then lets hope it gets to the vice like grip.....oh to dream

At the end of the day it's time MP's realised they need us plebs more than we need them, that is of course till after the election then they are allowed to become greedy again for the next 5 years.

halifax - of course you're right ..... we pay MPs peanuts and get the deserved monkeys ..... taxing the bankers at any level is primarily just a PR stunt, but as sure as eggs are eggs, a lot of the trading banks (UBS etc) will be thinking very seriously about moving out, with the odds at about 65% (i guess) for them doing so

Excellent start to the year.

Why the move north - loads of political uncertanties includingfull gov ownership at the next election??

RBS is showing its strength upwards.

looks like a fools rally to me ..... unless someone want to buy a big stake!!!

showing me a nice profit at mo...
