Good time to buy shares?

RBS shares are 11.6p, does this look like a good time to buy? They look real cheap, considering they were £6+ only one year ago. This is a massive discount. Looks like a good buy and hold for a year or so before they rocket :money:

  • They wont be 6 pounds ever again is a pretty safe bet because they recently issued 100% new shares and again today some more new shares were issued and then there was the rights issue last year of 12bn wasnt it

    Yes I'm sure Gordon and Alistair will greatly receive any donations, to help pay for the nationalization ;)

    Bradford and Bingley looked like a good long term investment at 20p...

    I'm tempted by Barclays - seem to be in better shape than most, maybe undervalued?
