So the UK, Japanese, and US governments are all undergoing increased scrutiny for pumping dollars into financial companies. Not just by angry voters, but by ratings agencies now! This is as it should be, you can't reward poorly managed companies without repurcussions. By giving them money and keeping their stocks alive (even more suspect), you not only reward bad behavior, but punish those who didn't make the same mistakes. That's communism practically by definition. RBS is certainly giant, but not immune due to size. A move from 3.33 to > 12 is just a bit ridiculous for a bank th...

Im looking at this stock long term.  I see it has great fundemantals.  Recently i saw that it had written down 14 billion in looses and they already have 21 billion on hand.  Meaning they have almost 7 billion for future losses if they occur.  Long term  I see they bank doing great here in the US and internationaly.

You look at the graphic and think: Why!!??

And I tell you, although the ROE and ROA are below the industry average (14.6 vs 19.2 and 6.1 vs 11.4 respectively),its Net Income Growth (ytd vs ytd)is 12.90 vs 22.90 for the industry and its expected £950 million second half subprime related write downs. This Bank has good fundamental ratios: P/E of 6.1 vs 11.7 for the industry (I), P/S: 1.21 vs 2.51 I, P/B: 0,84 vs 1.67 I and P/CF 4.1 vs 9.1 I. Also its debt to equity of 0.65 is lower than the industry 3.33 .

But as you can see from my previous analysis, one must be c...
