I bought some RBS last week and made about 18% on the way up, but forgot to tell SP. Might as well ride it down following the London shares.

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.

 In her top-ranked Global Investing advisory, Vivian Lewis looks at a lesser-known area of the income market -- non-cumulative preferreds -- explaining these vehicles and offering some favorites.
"Over 20 years ago, Barclays Bank, which is British, invented a new vehicle for raising money in the U.S. market to enhance its capital ratios and finance its growing dollar business.
