Its assured now .

With rights issue and no divi for shareholders me BONUS is assured.

JOb very well done. I LOVES THE CITY.

HVS....you is still no stopping with your bonus!....I was thinking the same when the news of Hester came out...similar to your post of 7946....

[hirani2] 25/2/2014 10:23

He sold Abbey to Santander

[dope007] 25/2/2014 10:06

In the words of Paul Daniels "Not a lot"

But he has earned millions for not achieving it

[hvs] 25/2/2014 10:04

What has HESTER achieved ???

Can't see a traditional RI in the present unstable market (and climate where insurer's fortunes can turn on a die). Probable placing with favoured IIs at 68.5p. Problem is they will dilute the heck out of LT holders and with the divi cut likely to see 40-50p in near future. This is not a forgiving market. Will buy in a couple of months and keep for a few years. imo

A rights issue is the easy way out, something a schoolboy could suggest. The new CEO is able to provide a better solution, if not he is not worth is ample salary.
We will soon find out if he is.

iTS A DISASTER.

dRESS IT UP AS U LIKE. iTS the cityS way.

May not get to a rights issue before being taken out at a higher price than today's?

[jonntara] 24/2/2014 17:48

Well today could have been a lot worse. I think it is fair to say that the prospect of capital raising and dividend cuts are in the price now.

[hvs] 24/2/2014 13:01

lol !!!!!

And your cousin is being paid with RIGHTS ISSUE CASH or TAXPAYERS CASH.

with a very nice BONUS to BOOT.

Nice.

THE CITY has it all down to a T.

Like I said in another language it would be called STEALING.

I think its fair to say Hestor could have earned more, and was relatively lowly paid at RBS. Relatively being the key word there. To use the football analogy Suarez is underpaid compared to Rooney, but they are all grossly overpaid in my eyes and its the fan that has to stump up the cash be it at the gate or through TV or both (as in my case, but following a championship side is relatively cheap).

I think he did OK at RBS - Goodwin left it in a terrible mess and whilst its not out of the woods its doing better. My cousin is a banker there. I'm not sure what he earns, but its a lot.

[hvs] 24/2/2014 10:51

lol !!!!

Do you mean BANKERS and ACTUARIES ?

Who LIVE off FOOTIE watchers ?

[hvs] 24/2/2014 10:46

Get real topvest,

Them footballers provide very good entertainment and what people pay to watch is
above board.

What BANKS and INSURANCE companies do is CHEAT the footie watcher and pay
themselves BONUSES out of the footie watchers MONEY. In any other language it
would be called "STEALING"

Footie players DONOT STEAL.

[dope007] 24/2/2014 10:41

Like he Turned RBS around? Another £8 billion loss as yet another Kitchen sink gets used?

[topvest] 24/2/2014 10:34

Well hopefully he will get a massive bonus and pay tax on it. That is good for Mr Hester, good for RSA when he turns it around and good for the countries tax income. He was underpaid at RBS by the way, in my view! Does anyone complain at ridiculously greedy footballer salaries...no...why should we complain when the top man at a major corporation owns a big bonus..it's not as though it is easy to do what he does or get to the top in RBS, RSA or any other FTSE 100 company.

[hvs] 24/2/2014 09:50

HESTER is here.

Stuff the shareholders and GET MORE OTHER PEOPLES MONEY to PAY MY BONUS.

[portside1] 24/2/2014 09:38

1 for 3 going down

[portside1] 24/2/2014 09:07

I say not these will fall a lot more /. sell sell sell

[jonntara] 24/2/2014 09:02

All in the price guys...

[portside1] 24/2/2014 07:56

they are as good as bankrupt share holders to put in 1b and still need to scale back the business no divs for 2 years if then .these will drift down funds will sell . private investors will pick up the tab
