Royal Bank Of Scotland Share Discussion Threads

shares don't always trade through the stock exchange, they can exchange through the broker as well, never even seeing the exchange.
There called Over The Counter Trades OTC, and then there is DMA Direct Market Access.
The stock market is anything but transparent even though everyone shouts transparency.
Iceberg trades are another none transparent thing, you only see the top and not the volumes underneath, which keep popping up the more of the top you take allowing massive amounts of stock to be traded whilst it looks like only small amounts are available.

Hope that answers your question.

Funny that but RBS is away to buy back goverment shares on the cheap then they will skyrocket

[delphiman] 21/2/2020 15:22

nearly there now, all the none believers are you starting to believe sub £2 was been laughed at on here over Christmas, and what are we, 6-7 weeks later, a few pence away.

[mallys83] 21/2/2020 15:06

Yeah can you explain to me why the share price drops when 6mill bought and only 3mill sold

[tradejunkie2] 21/2/2020 14:28

Coronavirus.

Explain.

[tradejunkie2] 21/2/2020 14:27

[arja] 19/2/2020 16:24

stewart : I'm in at 212...with 8p dividend (inc 5p special) ..goes ex next month ..bring it on ! March budget ..forecast to be 'expansive' could also give bank shares a boost.

The Llst time the government sold this stock it was like, 20p below the trading price, because they where getting rid of so many, the share price instantly fell below the price they traded, which equated to a 20p plus drop for everyone else.
You want only RBS to buy these back, no-one else.
Current trading conditions and outlook is uncertain and markets dont like that either, Down down down for now I'm afraid.
If the next few sets of (End of year bank results) come in bad then even worse.
Recession is looming.

Yes if the government sells off some of its holding...
They will have lost zillions of your tax pounds, and
There will be more RBS stock released back into the "market"
Got to be good news

[portside1] 18/2/2020 08:59

I bought a few yesterday looking to add more this week I believe it's a good bet

[mallys83] 18/2/2020 08:20

Great opportunity for people to buy. Read a few news feeds that the state is going to sell some of its shares to rbs. Boris has to fund his spending somehow so I guess it will go ahead late March.

[delphiman] 18/2/2020 08:10

Nearly sub £2, economy shrink last quarter, zero economy growth this quarter just gone, Think the shops have sold out of rose coloured spectacles, Getting close now

[tradejunkie2] 17/2/2020 22:05

Don't worry kitty cat.

[dmf] 17/2/2020 20:40

Dangerous because no deal brexit looking increasingly likely

[smurfy2001] 17/2/2020 15:59

Why dangerous? Because of the potential buy back>

[arja] 17/2/2020 15:56

expected a little bounce today but did not eventuate . Might become a dangerous stock to hold and maybe just best to trade it in near future

tfergi
Here is an idea for you
When your capital investment in a share is "up"
Sell that investment return your capital and bank the profit
If you want the "div", buy the share the day(or 2 or 3) before it goes ex-div, and receive the div payment...
Sell again when your capital is restored
There is nothing in the "investing" rule book that says you must hold a share "for ages" to receive the div payout
You do not profit from share loyalty

[portside1] 17/2/2020 12:55

207will do me fine

[portside1] 17/2/2020 12:34

I am looking to buy into these in the next few days

[tfergi] 17/2/2020 11:49

I have 9863 shares. Had them for ages and I'm up. Just going to hold and take the divi. They will come good one day.
