Natwest Share Discussion Threads

[minsky] 22/4/2021 23:57

At the risk of being depressing, there was a very active ADVFN contributor called Miata who set up several threads for popular shares. Here is his second last post from 2014: https://uk.advfn.com/cmn/fbb/thread.php3?id=10614230&from=22188#firstpost

Has anyone tried sending 'leedskier' a personal message through the site?

We'll probably never know for certain, gcom. For a while, I hoped someone like an executor might come across ADVFN on his device and have the interest and good sense to post a short note, but I've given up on that long shot now, after several months. We're a week away from the Q1 RNS and that is immediately followed by a long, bank holiday weekend. If that does not elicit a contribution - the Annual Results drew a blank, of course - then I'm quietly and sadly going to draw a line and get on with life.

@delphiman22 Apr '21 - 09:12 - 876 Pawsche20 Mar '21 - 13:48 - 840 of 875. Doesnt the share buy back increase the price due to less shares been out there in the market place ? In theory it should... However, in none of the shares that I have personal experience of buy-backs has it made the slightest difference. Certainly not as useful to a private shareholder as a special dividend (or just an increase of the normal div). Only "advantage" that I can see for a buy-back is it generates lots of lovely fees and commissions for their mates in the city.

Difference between Natwest and Barclays is very close again, used to be a good 30p now 10p, NatWest needs to Geer up a bit.

bring on the buy backs, this share was £7 before it sank to the lows of 7p when it rose to 17p they did a multiply x 10 making it £1.70, that puts the original price at £70 in comparison. so in terms of loss this share was £70 and is now £1.92 as like for like, they did issue more shares, but they are buying them back now, this share is worth around £35 after all the sell offs they have had to make to comply with the agreement of bailout, but then over 10 years equity normally doubles, putting it back at £70. If you follow the theory, I know there is a lot more involved but a price of £1.92 is absolutely nothing to where it really should be. Anyone buying now is still going to make lots of money and the bank is buying its own stock back at less than half the price it sold it, what a good move, its like they got paid to take a loan, look at all the dividend money they save on that. The government had preferential shares which meant , they got a dividend when no-one else did all the time from day one. The government has had its money back with interest, so the tax payer didn't lose out, but wait yes we did as the government kept this and didn't give us anything even though we footed the bill. if there is anyone here not doing justice to the public its the government keeping our money and wait for it, covid is also the perfect excuse for the tax hike they were going to do, so they got behind that and will now blame that and not them for screwing up the economy.

https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/944334/natwest-group-buys-back-11bn-of-shares-from-the-government-944334.html "The bank said it intends to cancel 390.7mln or two-thirds of the shares acquired with the remaining 200mln to be held as treasury shares to give flexibility in areas such as employee share plans." This means the share price is worth more as value of company is the same divided by less shares equals higher value of each share.

Three more weeks have passed since leeds' absence from ADVFN was remarked upon on here - I was hoping for some sort of Resurrection over Easter, but nothing. Not looking good at all, is it... The likely possibilities seem limited to me - either he has decided on complete radio silence, or very serious illness (or the worst) is the explanation. As I said previously, incommunicado isn't his style. There is a Twitter account in the name of "leedskier", the individual behind it named Michael Taylor. That name mean anything to anyone? Trouble is, the account tweets are protected - no access to casual passersby - but I have noticed it has been stuck on 20 tweets total for ages, very little overall activity considering the account was opened in 2009. Not much help there, then. I did come across a local newspaper obit for a 'Michael Taylor' dated last December, a week or so after his last post, but that may be little more than a coincidence. Sadly, in the absence of anything to the contrary, I'm leaning further towards assuming the worst. If leeds doesn't respond to this post, for me, that will be it...

China Warns It'll Use Military Action to 'Stop Taiwan Independence' as U.S. Officials Visit Island Just before American officials arrived in Taiwan at President Joe Biden's request, China warned it would not rule out the use of military action to keep the island nation from "the interference of external forces." "The signal given by the military drills is that we are determined to stop Taiwan independence, and stop Taiwan from working with the US. We are doing it with action," Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said to reporters on Tuesday. https://www.newsweek.com/china-warns-itll-use-military-action-stop-taiwan-independence-us-officials-visit-island-1583568?piano_t=1

Central banks becoming hooked on stimulus, Mervyn King says Former Bank of England governor warns of risk of inflation as Covid lockdown measures are relaxed King said “zombie companies” were being supported by low borrowing costs and needed to be “allowed to fail” to help a more efficient allocation of resources as the economy adapted to a post-pandemic world. “People have failed to recognise that the problem is one that can’t just be solved by even lower interest rates or even more fiscal stimulus,” he said. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/apr/12/central-bank-hooked-covid-stimulus-plan-mervyn-king-bank-england-governor-inflation-risk
