Should I buy RBS or Barclays shares?

Bigt_2

If I buy RBS shares at 22p or Barclays at 85p, what compensation could I expect to get back from the government if each bank was nationalised?

why do you want to buy them if you think they will be nationalised?

why do you think they represent value?

you need to do a lot more research if you want to start to dabble in stocks.

If you bought shares in any company today and tomorow the government are talking about nationalisation I can bet you now that the big boys will hear about it before you do and the share price will plumet as they take their cash. Whats left is what the government will offer as compensation

Don't put yourself through the stress. After the last few days many strong companies are going cheaply, don't be greedy.
