you cannot even think that a Trump win will be ok.
despite her flaws clinton must win for the sake of all of us.
she is a professional politician and knows what is possible, and the compromises that must be made.

Trumpo v Clinton...what a choice.


Trumpo = maybe change (good or bad, who knows?)

Clinton = more of the same (not good imo)


What you will really get is = the establishment, which never changes.

Any views here on how a Trump/Clinton win will affect rbs share price? or, as it's rbs will it fall on either one winning?

Are there not dealing costs involved?

what type of internet connection did he have that he could be trading that fast. When there is a premium on position on the rack to get a slight advantage over other hft I can't see that someone working from home would beat them. He obviously did and the big boys are not happy

He knew what he was doing and knew it was illegal.

Reading about the man who supposed to have crashed the market.
he wrote a programme that made about 7 million trades in a single day.
the trades were immediately cancelled,then bought back before the price had time to adjust.
we are talking nano seconds.
I never thought it was possible to cancel once sold/bought.
or maybe he only sold then bought back, sold again too quickly.

7million trades at say 0.01% profit each is a good day.
even with a medium sized stake.

And if he could do it, how about bigger operators?

RBS, NatWest, and Ulster Bank customers are having difficulties making debit card payments in shops and online after a widespread problem with the RBS card payments system.

NatWest said it was "working hard to resolve the issue" to customers who had complained on Twitter.

An RBS spokesman said: "We are aware that some customers are experiencing issues using their debit card.

"We are working on resolving this issue and apologise for any inconvenience."

BBC sorry for showing footage of gorilla instead of Nicola Sturgeon

This market is a like a monty python parrot. Being sold as alive and squawking but the reality is that it is dead.

[maxk] 14/10/2016 12:55

Yes, a clean slate.

Then they can start robbing people again.

Well that was a comment a couple of weeks ago on Bloomberg.


I guess as soon as the election is over the new President takes de facto office and appoints a new team including a new Att. General.

[cfc1] 14/10/2016 12:24

not sure what the presidential 'fiasco' elections will have to do with it? or am I being thick........

[leedskier] 14/10/2016 12:04

Towards the end of this month ahead of the US Presidential election, is the guess.

Following on from blaming everything on Brexit (or the weather) Unilever had a universal price increase in Ireland as well. I am not sure what excuse they used there, it couldn't be the exchange rate excuse that they used in the UK as they are on the Euro. hxxps://www.rte.ie/news/business/2016/1013/823654-tesco-unilever-row/
