Unless you are a day trader and need to make profits on a day by day basis, then there are no good or bad times to buy shares really: the key thing is that you buy them then hold onto them for a LONG time, at least 7 years (the average length of an economic cycle) if not longer. Over the long term the share market will always outperform any other investment type.
RBS shares ARE very cheap right now but it will be several years at least before they really start to be worth something again, so if you can afford to wait then by all means buy some. However, you should NEVER put all your eggs in one basket with shares: always spread your investment over a number (at least 10) companies AND over a number of different sectors (e.g. banking, resources, infrastructure etc.)...that way you are cushioned from any dramatic losses and I say this regardless of the the fact that RBS may well be partly nationalised, which could be bad for shareholders (although not disastrous). RBS will NOT however go bankrupt: they have a LOT of capital and are nowhere near close to the danger zone. It is just that they don't have much liquidity and folk are nervous, which is why shares in general have plummeted.
My advice is to buy SOME shares in RBS while they are cheap but ALSO buy shares in some other firms which are cheap now too (and there are LOTS to choose from!), so you spread your risk.
Good luck |

It is a tad risky. The company could fall further and go bankrupt or get nationalized in which case you shares would just be worthless. But then again with this bailout scheme thing I doubt/hope that neither of those things would happen and although the shares might drop at first if you hold on to them and "weather the storm" the shares could be worth quite a lot in the future just don't expect instant success. Whatever you do in the stock market you will be taking a risk no matter who your investing in.
RBS shares are trading at around 71p they used to be worth around 700p just over a year ago. So if you get them while there cheap it could be a very good investment, just remember the risks. |

The shares are trading currently at a similar P/E ratio to that which Northern Rock and Bradford and Bingley were trading at before they were nationalised. I don't think shareholders got much out of the nationalisation, so from this perspective it does not seem like a good idea.
One might take the view that the selling pressure is really slightly overdone, and consequently there could well be some buying next week. Bears and bulls fight, and bulls get very agressive in the face of a bear market.
The shares are at a low point, and are likely to be diluted soon by another rights issue or a partial privatisation.
A short term trader might be tempted to buy then sell due to the high volatility. A longer term approach might involve dripping money in chunks over the next three months rather than one big purchase on Monday.
Of course, the takeover of RBS is possible, but I cannot see who might be the buyer. |

As long as you can afford to sit on them yes. |

No! because it will end up Nationalised, and in any event, the Banking business has changed forever. No more large profits and dividends. It will take years to get out of the mess that this Government has put us in. |

As a long term investment , yes. But you will have to wait a few years for them to be worth anything and then they will go throught the roof. Because al;though it is troubl;le just now RBS is one of the biggest banks in the WORLD. so but as many as you can afford to keep for about ten years, Thats when I reckon they'll be back at their premium. |

if you have enough money to be able to buy something that will be completely useless for a while then yes. |
