Royal Bank Of Scotland Share Discussion Threads

I was speaking to a couple of police officers the other day and they were saying we are going to have a second spike, they know what the public are doing and its on its way.
They are only slowing this thing down, if you are destined to die if you catch this thing you will be dead still, your just having extra weeks in your life right now because it has had the breaks put on.
I mentioned about the NHS saying they expect hospital to have to abide by the 2 meter distancing for a time period of 1 to 2 years, the police confirmed this as well.
with only 1/4 of people been able to occupy public spaces than before, for such a long time period, Business are going to fall like rain, I even heard councils are asking for subsidies, and we are still all paying our council tax, and those who rent pay that to, so why are they needing more money, they get the same money and are not giving the same amount of service back due to lockdown as before.
I saw road traffic vans are back in action, they will have felt the dip in there revenue.
If your furloughed you have less money, if your not your company may have asked you to take a reduced salary like Mine has,
Our economy has shrunk by 2% and they are expecting as much as a third by next quarter. We will officially be in a recession then, we are delaying the virus so why did they ever tell us it would be more like a "V" dip in the economy, a prolonged delayed plan was never the grounds for a "V" type dip. its always been a prolonged "________________/" type dip plan in the first place and we are not really saving lots of lives which this structure, and the only lives this is really saving are those people who are on the border line with there breathing, if your ill and can breath then they dont do anything, if you struggle to breath they put you on a ventilator and if you get worse you die, so its that section in the middle they are able to help and only them, the ones on the fence which could go either way as they have no other treatment, just a ventilator at the moment.
after this comes your tax increase and most are already paying for it right now with a reduced salary, then will come your council tax increase.
Perhaps business rates increase, but possibly there reduction either way, if they increase it there is only 25% of the footfall as previously if they decrease it the councils dont get the revenue's they need and will have to put council tax up further. Which ever way round you look at this we are screwed for a very long time,
It was always said councils dont have recessions, Well they will this time.
If anyone thinks there is light at the end of this very long tunnel, then your probably right but it might look like a man on a push bike with a dynamo.

I wonder who can have this test, because I still cannot have a test even today if I think I have it, The rule is still stay at home incubate and dont go to the doctors, dont have a test.

Bonda67.

I was with Barclays Smart Investor. I closed my investor account with them about a year ago. That’s just because I was tired of paying their monthly admin fees without any certain sign of growth with RBS. I had stocks in RBS before I closed that account.
The reason I had a trading account with Barclays is because you could merge it together with your current account and this made dealing more efficient. If your bank has a platform for investors, maybe you should opt to use their platform so you could have your current account and your investor account on the same page (yes, you can with Barclays, and probably with Santander too).

Another reason I closed my investor account and am no longer a stockbroker is because I didn’t trust Brexit. This might seem irrelevant but a lot of pro-brexiteers didn’t want to acknowledge that Brexit was going to have a mal-effect on the stock market - or perhaps pinning their hopes that it wouldn’t - saying things like remainers were acting like it was “the end of the world” and now ironically in the climate of corona.. somehow.. people are calling it that. I guess “remain” voters had already foreseen it. Not corona, of course, since that’s apparently unrelated. But I’m talking about the plummeting share prices.

If and when I open an portfolio again it will not be with Barclays but share.com (i.e. the share centre). It’s quite a neat platform and attractive to investors who are only willing to invest a small amount because the monthly admin fees are a lot lower at £2 per month if you invest under £750 - hence attractive to small investors. In the current climate I’m not looking to invest anything big or anything at all for that matter. I am looking to invest with the share centre, however, if I was looking to invest again. Hence, I’m no longer a stockbroker but a prospective one now. I no longer have shares with RBS. I don’t trust the current climate. That’s not just about Brexit.

Any recommendations for a decent online broker platform?
I was with SVS who went bankrupt, so now looking for a new one as I think that it might be a good time to start buying.

CI......I am in agreement with you about not giving any monies to Walsh and his associates.

I also agree that Signature should look into taking legal action against him for recovery of members losses.

[chinese investor] 16/5/2020 08:46

We are at the end game here.
Although we are giving monies to the legitimate "Action Group" advisers etc I would object to any monies going to fraudster Gerard Walsh.
Indeed I think we should go after him for extracting money from us claimants.
I'm sure Trevor Hemmings would be up for that !

As for Gayle - she was married to Sean Gayle who was a property developer who became bankrupt.
The two of them claimed Sean, in 2005, gave his wife at the time Gayle many millions for the benefit of Sean's children.
The signed documents were not witnessed.
The case has been going through the American courts for years yet to be resolved.

Thanks CI....keep up the good work please.

[chinese investor] 16/5/2020 08:02

Here's another :-

"A key issue has been whether Mr Dunne held a beneficial interest in Dublin mansion Walford.
The Shrewsbury Road property became the most expensive home in Ireland in 2005 when Mr Dunne bought it for Gayle Killilea for £50 million."

[m1k3y1] 16/5/2020 07:22

CI...thank you for the info.
Do you have any links to where we can see more details.

[chinese investor] 16/5/2020 07:18

Gayle vs Trevor !
Game On !

"Gayle Dunne (aka Killilea), the wife of bankrupt property developer Sean Dunne, is the beneficial owner of a company that has loaned a fraudster £1.45m to fight a legal action over access to a share of £200m in compensation awarded to thousands of shareholders of Royal Bank of Scotland in 2017."

[smartie6] 15/5/2020 06:55

Just get the feeling that with warm weather and social distancing measures they’re presently in top of the virus. If they prepare ahead for rates rising in autumn then the impact could be not too severe.

[tfergi] 15/5/2020 06:51

I think the markets need to retest the lows again before the recovery starts. I just want it out of the way and to confirm that countries are able to manage the virus and prevent a big second wave. Then I will show some market enthusiasm.

[qantas] 15/5/2020 06:47

Some good news.
