adding again - 2.38 - think we will get some good divi rewards this year and a special divi too.

[ramco] 28/1/2019 10:33

The likes of you made it so deadbeat....;)

What about the final dividend kitty cats?

"Sir James Dyson relocates his head office to SINGAPORE despite voting for Brexit and backing a no deal - but insists it is NOT because of leaving the EU"


No much more likely that he wants out in case there is a resulting backlash which installs Corbyn in power and hits him with a tax bill running into £billions.

200DMA in reahc next week. Cant wait to see what the divi will be this year. CEO has said 40% of profits. SO I reckon thats at least 15p/share.

Doesn't seem to be any bonus to the share price compared to it's peers despite the welcoming RNS.

Barc, Lloy and RBS posting 3% gains I'd of expected more of RBS.

"sitting on the fence" suggests that I was undecided. I have never regretted several years ago selling my RBS shares at circa 45p (450p in current money) even though the share price rose to circa 55p (in old money) before collapsing as the post banking crisis euphoria evaporated.

For many this has been a good share to trade over the last few years and some who post here have taken advantage of those opportunities.

Providing the UK's economy and currency do not go pear shaped as a result of Westminster political misjudgment RBS's share price should continue to recover.

Buying back 4.99% of the Government's shareholding for cancellation is an important step in that process.

I wish you well with your long term investment here.

Leeds - tell me you are now buying RBS shares????? I know you have 'sat on the fence for years'...

[smurfy2001] 17/1/2019 20:14

That's great news especially if the cancellation is true. Not only would this increase the EPS it could over a number of years really boost the share price.

Now looking forward to the dividend news in Feb.

Under the proposal, the bank cannot buy back more than 4.99 per cent of the government’s stake in any one year.

[tradejunkie2] 17/1/2019 19:23

I posted it already WAAAAAAKE UP !!!

A bit more detail, from the Guardian:

Royal Bank of Scotland is looking to buy up to £1.4bn worth of shares from the government as part of efforts to cut the publicly owned stake in the lender, following its 2008 bailout.

The bank is seeking shareholder approval to buy a stake of up to 4.99% from the Treasury, in a move that would reduce the government holding from about 62.3% to 60.3%.

Shares bought by RBS would be cancelled, resulting in a smaller cut in the government’s total stake because there would be fewer shares in circulation.
