With any luck, the tea party is lurching towards obscurity.Do we have to keep on entertaining the rabid fringes (over and over through history) before realising they've nothing to offer?

Royal Bank of Scotland's £3.2bn distressed-property arm is trying to sell off a portfolio of more than 1,300 UK residential properties, and is considering floating them on the stock exchange, in a move that would be seen by the City as the creation of a mini "bad bank".

The investments are worth around £200m and are held within a little-known RBS subsidiary called West Register, which holds assets valued at more than £3bn, mostly in the UK and Germany.

The offshoot buys troubled properties from RBS and would almost certainly form part of the potential "bad bank" that chancellor George Osborne is considering hiving off from the rest of the 81% taxpayer-owned lender.

leedskier - COOL ^__^ (...I've just exported the FTSE ranking tab onto excel, and created another column with my own formula for it:-))) Cheers my dears, it's a helping start...and thank you RBS bb:-))))

Atino .... this will help down to companies with a market cap of £30m.
You will have to divide the market cap by the share price to work out how many shares are issued.



Hit the FTSE ranking tab. All shares from the top down to £30m are listed. Aim are shown in grey.

I'm somewhat surprised to see so few ripples ... thus far

"Overnight, Bloomberg reports that the wait should not be long (in fact it may coincide with the default of that other insolvent mega-creditor: the United States), and will mostly certainly take place before the end of the month, following the retention of bankruptcy specialist law firm Quinn Emanuel."

ADD: MDB - "Oil company bankruptcies are the early signs of the emerging green economy. "

October wobbles are renowned - usually back where it was in November.

Not always though - caveat! :-))

Dow's lost about 700 pts in last few weeks - could be a massive upside coming soon - or could it be a massive backside??!

He who dares....................

Well done, Dope007.

[atino] 09/10/2013 15:45

Hello RBS bb:-)))

Does anyone know...where I can get a list, of ALL the companies on AIM (...which I can 'sort' by...'SHARES IN ISSUE') ?

Many thanks in advance

Took profit on tesla again :-)

The Yellen news has not underpinned the markets for long. The DJI is already red and the S&P500 is just above the gain line.

The Republicans have changed tack.

It is now being argued by some in the GOP that default would not be such a bad option ...

"We always have enough money to pay our debt service," said Mr. Burr, who pointed to a stream of tax revenue flowing into the Treasury as he shrugged off fears of a cascading financial crisis. "You've had the federal government out of work for close to two weeks; that's about $24 billion a month. Every month, you have enough saved in salaries alone that you're covering three-fifths, four-fifths of the total debt service, about $35 billion a month. That's manageable for some time."

Makes one proud to be British.

[leedskier] 09/10/2013 12:27

RBS and the FTSE100 both just above the gain line.
