I would always be in a position where I would make money on my investmentand now that government legislation is being introduced to tighten on banks lending policies, i highly doubt that rbs will ever be in a position where it has such a low value again.

Goddaz Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 In my investments I never count my intial investment as part of the return. 10 x 3 = 30 - 10 = 20However I agree its trebled in value from 10 to 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would always be in a position where I would make money on my investmentand now that government legislation is being introduced to tighten on banks lending policies, i highly doubt that rbs will ever be in a position where it has such a low value again.Don't be sure/never say never/etc.It's very unlikely that should RBS survive, it's stock would plumb the depths it's at at the moment, I agree.But it's also very likely that should RBS not survive (as a partially independent/partially nationalized company), you will lose your entire investment.Both are equally possible.Nationalization doesn't mean folding.And legislation to tighten lending is a knee jerk reaction that will pretty much do f*ck all to curb what got us here in the first place. In fact it's likely to have the opposite effect and put a further stranglehold on an already crippled sector.The media is sprouting a whole load of sh*t about what's caused this crisis. Scapegoating Fred Goodwin as the devil, with bankers as fallen angels is part of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
