£1.50 first stop

Brxit was as much about getting rid of the gravy train of largess that pays huge salaries and expenses to Euro MP's who spend everyone's money and achieve little at a huge cost to Europe and in particular to GB who paid far more than they received ....what an ignorant thick brexits comment......its the beauracrats we wanted to get rid of not our European breatheren

WHEN are politicians and media going to realise we just need to get on with life now....no choice AND 99.5% of people that get covid recover, dont even know they had !!
We either hve economies or apparently stay safe without one!
WHY has onone come out and said - "we've got no choice" and here are the ACTUAL number of deaths per 1million people!

To quote Dom Cummings there will be "hard rains".

Beyond the shores of Europe and Australia/New Zealand, Covid-19 appears to be out of control.

With the USA moving back into lock-down it is no surprise that the VIX is rising and Australia is down 2% this morning.

must be good being the CEO of RBS....nothing to say, no comment, no sharebuybacks, no directors buying...huge salary and quite as a mouse.

If not too good US banks may have to drop divis, UK banks already done this though.

[hamhamham1] 25/6/2020 21:00

Yeah. Didn't banks move up yesterday/today on lower capital requirments, thought I heard that, maybe not, yet?

[smartie6] 25/6/2020 20:30

Ham, need to watch US stress tests tonight.
Could have big impact on bank shares, upside tomorrow.
If majority pass well, as the FED have indicated, remember Barclays and HSBC will be tested as well, then the saying will be don’t keep you cash in a bank earning no interest but invest in the bank and watch it grow.
Could see some big moves.

Dow perked up

[hamhamham1] 25/6/2020 18:40

I am not sure the gov, especially a Tory one, is interested in state controlling banks or any companies.
They just want their money back or as much as they can anyway. Amazing they into it for 502p a share, but I guess allowing for divis and other payments, am sure it's less than that now. But still several times this price.
So that's why I am happy to be here, the share price price has to go up or the gov has to take a big hair cut. Either way, share holders will be winners at these prices!
They already taken a hair cut on the other 20% they bought back to date.

If the government keeps the 62% it means that it cannot be bought out by an aggressive
entity. Get a grip. Dyor.

[hamhamham1] 25/6/2020 16:51

Cfc, there are these articles, especially the bit about removing the bought back shares from circulation; ) ...

[cfc1] 25/6/2020 11:55

meanwhile, I wonder whether we will EVER get any good news from RBS...shares destroyed. Not a word of any future positive anything for share holders. Not a single share buyback or hint of future dividend - nothing!
But I guess the execs are ok - massive salaries, FREE stock options - alls good in the world!!
