Wd Skinny.
Bought yet more RBS this morning sub 350. Didn't think I would see this opportunity a few weeks ago.

Not buying any more until it hits 342. Not sure if I want to it to go that low or not ;-)


Still about two-thirds in cash and waiting for the right price or clear direction before I commit much more

Thanks CC - tomorrow could be interesting!
