I'm sensing a bit of tension.
RBS is at a low point for a very good reason.
Just do your own research and invest in companies YOU think are worth investing in. I personally think RBS and LLOYDS are, but in my eyes you won't see any substantial returns for 3-5 years.
Of course you can day trade, but he who plays with fire tends to get his fingers burnt.0 -
RBS aren't likely to be paying a divvy for some time, this is reflected by there share price and the fact the UK Gov owns a major part of it still, should more losses be incurred by them then the Gov could well need to take full control as with what happened to N Rock. Dividends may not be important to you but they offer a steady income stream in proportion to the risk that you take with your money by investing, i personally wont buy a share which i won't see a dividend from inside a year, that said RBS could well be worth a punt with a lowish investment for capital growth over the next 1-2 years.Norn Iron Club member No 3530
