Stephen B | UK - With RBS shares at a record low of 12p per share, is now a good time to buy? Surely only way is up? |
What would happen if it was nationalised, would the government have to buy the shares back at market value? |

Are you a gambler?
The odds are quite good. Even if you invest ÂŁ500 you could easily multiply that by 4 or 5 times within a year. Or, you could lose the lot - although I think the government will do everything it can to avoid nationalising the bank.
I think the odds of making money are better than roulette that's for sure, but you need to be able to risk losing a load of money. Nobody knows how long this recession will last or how deep - there may be some more nasty surprises in store for the British economy that keep the banks at a very low valuation.
I do believe, however, that if the UK economy can weather this storm and start to going upwards within 18 months, some brave people might well make an absolute killing out of all this. In that respect, it could be a once in a lifetime opportunity to make some serious cash. |

I would be carefull.
The government own 75% of RBS and they have messed up everything else they have! |

I would avoid RBS common stock. If it was nationalized, the common stock could go to zero. Look what happened to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, among others. |

RBS with 41bn loss reported is likely to be nationalised. or will be given away to a more solvent Bank. But Shareholders wont get any thing if its nationalised as ithas no net worth left. |

Dont touch it with a bargepole. Some commentors above are getting confused - if the government nationalises they wont lose out if the shares no longer exist because put simply they would own all the shares and therefore all the profit and loss the bank makes ie remember British Coal.
Furthermore as the economy shrinks and companies fail and shops close all banks have huge exposure to commercial property. That means if these properties are empty and not receiving rent then the further writedowns on assets will have to be made which might just yet be the straw that breaks many banks backs. |

Probably not; 12p on the downside, how much on the upside? It's a punt, if you can afford to lose the lot.
How much would you gamble? A few hundred quid is not worth it and a decent amount is v. risky. |

It is a very very risky thing to do -The company is basically worth nothing at the moment,41 billion is alot to lose.
If the economy continues to get worse,as much as the goverment has alot riding on RBS themselves now,it could still fold and get nationalized.
I have a fair amount in RBS,i`ve considered buying more,but it`s so volitile and hanging by a thread,that sure you could dip in and out short term and make some profit,but that thread may break at anytime,and when it does /if it does ,you will be 100 % screwed.It`s not for the faint hearted.You will never take your money out in time if it goes wrong.
So much rides on America getting it right now.One more blow could kill this share(Hopefully all the massively bad news is finally out)But you just never know.
Although everything said:The goverment need this share to survive,in some ways they simply cannot afford to let it go now.They have so much money invested in shares of RBS that if it fails ,they can kiss that money goodbye-If it succeeds later though ,then they bank a big fat profit for themselv......er hummmm i mean the tax payer.
A (slightly) safer bet might be Barclays
Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Barclays was a good shout!!
Could have made 70%profit on Fridays price!!:(
(Thought it might be ok ,but not that ok) |

No it's not a good time to buy. You can only be sure RBS on the way up if it climbs above 70p and the government doesn't buy more RBS shares which causes the stock to go down.
If you're from the UK and want a winning stock at a low price, go for oil stocks:
BOR - Borders & STH. @ 22p
HAWK - Nighthawk Energy @ 32p
They trend up and down in a similar pattern to crude oil which will reinforce their uptrends as oil has only just began trending up and has a long way to climb. |
