Lol, I like dopes professional business title description. But we all know he is a Vision Technician. For those who think that's something to do with spec savers, naw, it's a windae cleaner.

The number of companies in trouble recently is quite concerning as an investor. Last time l saw this much trouble was back in 2007....

RBS embarks on first takeover since ABN Amro deal that broke the bank

[leedskier] 27/3/2018 11:19

if you look at today's RNS from IGG you will see how it will bite.

[leedskier] 27/3/2018 11:16

maxk thanks for that. Private investors should welcome the move towards greater transparency which should help to level the playing field.

It may kill the golden goose for intermediaries in the financial sector, especially in the City. Far too much information will have to be published. There is going to be a big push towards online trading with capped fees.

leeds.

Picked up this article on another thread, is it a very big piece of legislation? It certainly sounds huge, but I have no way of knowing.

The extensive piece of legislation, seven years in the making, already has more than 1.4m paragraphs of rules, which will grow as regulators complete the final standards in coming months.

gcom2, the "SHOW ME THE MONEY" mantra seems to apply. I suspect it maybe because many invest in FTSE100 funds which reinvest dividends. Clearly FTSE100 not offering dividends do not fit that matrix.

[leedskier] 27/3/2018 10:03

FTSE100 peaks above 7000.

[gcom2] 27/3/2018 08:57

so, another upgrade here, 1st profit in 10 years, cfo talking about divi ,a net interest margins set to rise over coming years. share price just stays where it is.

[leedskier] 27/3/2018 08:15

Now just 10 points shy of 7000.

[leedskier] 27/3/2018 08:02

up 90 points

The guy who heads up UKFI is quitting and returning to the City. So now the FT is reporting that UKFI is confident of cutting the govt stake despite his departure. A snippet from Google:

The government has committed to restart selling its 71 per cent stake in RBS by next March, despite currently sitting on a loss of almost £27bn after injecting £45.8bn into the bank during the financial crisis. The independent fiscal watchdog currently forecasts £3bn worth of share sales in each of the next five ...

Of course, much depends on the DoJ, as well as all the usual considerations. The implication remains, I think, that selling below, say, 300p, is something the govt is prepared to consider - it needs the cash!
