The Government has offloaded shares in NatWest worth around £420m as it continues to slim down the majority stake it took during the financial crisis.

The Treasury sold another 170.4m shares, meaning it now holds a 52pc stake in the bank formerly known as RBS. Its stake is valued at around £14.5bn at current prices.

The Government last year said it would sell down its stake over a year-long period from August. It said no more than 15pc of the lender's total trading volume would be sold.

The Treasury remains NatWest's biggest shareholder, more than a decade after RBS' £45.5bn bailout. It will likely suffer a hefty loss, even with the share price rising around 50pc in the last year.

yes smaller profit though, oh well, thought I was being clever with the stop loss :D

The drop took out my stop loss, very volatile, I was going to hold, hand forced

I've added to my holding, could easily double again.

This will continue to rebound rapidly with improving news on Omicron mildness + rapid spread. It will be over fast.

Happy days, I'm just a few % away from being cost neutral on this, after sitting on paper losses of 40% during the pandemic with this holding! Hopefully some bigger dividends to look forward to in the future.

I've done quite well with it, but I am not sure on the trend from here. I am considering whether or not to hold or sell.

MS is not going to acquire iomart. MS will likely partner with them for things like datacentre space, ahead of building their own facilities if the market they are interested in is deemed too small to build a large facility. I have some insight in the requirements MS have for things like datacentre space, even in small markets (Manchester for example) they will build 50+ racks for 1 project, high density. At MS scale you do that 2-3 times in 1 city and then it may become attractive to build your own facility if other large operators, such as equinix, have limited capacity.

MS "partners" with every MSP.

Although it then seems to fall back a few days later, will be good if it sticks...

Good US jobs figures also

Covid pill? Some leaking news?

Will be great to see this get in to the 60's again and then beyond, this is a holder for me

Bought a bike :D

I made an investment in this a few months ago, it went up 100% super quick, I sold half, kept original investment in, happy to keep on holding for long term...

Daft share price over reaction, UK property market is not like Chinese market, contagion IMO will be limited, if any. The price was responding more to the constant streams of doom from our media, about 3 day working weeks, lights going out etc etc

Was hoping for a bit more of a fall today to be honest, give me a more compelling reason to top up. But I have reallocated some funds from profits in a few other shares, moved a bit more in to Gamma.

I made the move in to this stock some months ago, happy to hold for medium term.

Nice to see some solid day on day gains, this is one of my largest individual holdings, holding

What's driving this? Just some speculation or some news leaking?

This is in oversold territory now...
