Royal Bank of Scotland (NYSE:RBS)

royal bag of ____....well who really knows whats in that bag.....but if you look at the ticker you could get an idea...the EU issues aren't in the rear view yet ...just a temporary breather from the seemingly everlasting plummet since 2008..

herp derp rally

PIIGS Exposure: $146.42 billion

Market Cap: $60.96 billion

Common Equity: $83.58 billion

Exposure as % of Common Equity: 175%

RBS is well positioned (minimum capital req. - basel 3, no strategic assets sell-off, dividend scheme) and on a longer term basis, if RBS is eventually able to operate as a profitable stand-alone institution without government ownership this should improve the core metrics and lead to a high stock price.

how low can it go?? how about all the way?

With 2011 proving the core banking operations showing increasing profitability, the dudd assets are being sold off at a fast rate, RBS already has the high capital ratio Basel 3 is recommending, with the expected release of the independent banking review expected to show a ring fencing of retail from the casino bank my guess is Steven Hester is already moving in that direction, 2012 will be the year the government starts selling off its shares.

An Airstrip One stock

2010 is the year of the recovery of the banks

Buying betdowns and hoping for big returns longterm

Watch it grow, We are looking at $80 in less than a year from now

They are correcting past mistakes.

Oh Yeah... I bought 5/7... Laughing all the way to the bank.

Its time for a new dawn

Great long term play. RBS was incoporated before George Washington was born. Very little long-term risk here.

Eventually the market will rebound for Financials

Get while you can. Cheap.

A new 52 week low, now is the time to buy

This is like the BAC of the UK. Im going way long on this stuff too.
