I'd have taken a bet that you were familiar with it ..... My post was meant to be sarcastic .The report gave Osborne the excuse to make what I have always considered ,another bad decision and not one that was in the best interest of the taxpayers . City boys did alright out of it ,nothing new there .
If your going to pay for professional advice , might as well take it . Lol Rothschild’s recommendation There is currently limited trading in RBS shares and its shareholder register is very concentrated by the standards of similar-sized companies. In part as a result of this, it would at present be challenging to make substantial sales of RBS shares that were material in the context of the government’s overall shareholding, other than at disadvantageous pricing. As a result, we believe that it would be in the interest of taxpayers for the government to set in train an initial small disposal of RBS shares. By increasing the free float now, the government will improve the marketability of the remainder of its shareholding, enabling it in future once the bank and the share price has fully recovered to execute larger sales on better terms than would otherwise have been the case. We believe that sending a strong signal that RBS is on the road to normality may also bring further benefits to the bank and to the government as a shareholder. We believe that the current price of RBS shares reasonably reflects the prospects for future recovery and the risks associated with this being achieved. We do not believe that there are any other reasons that would preclude a share sale in the short term or render it poor value for money for the taxpayer. Given the current limited market for RBS shares, any sales in the short term would need to be carefully calibrated by reference to the depth of the market and the current size of RBS’s free float and with a clear objective of maintaining an orderly aftermarket following any transaction.
Wouldn't object to a nice slow uptrend , still a few skeletons rattling about that need to be attended to , some that could have a significant effect on the SP . ......fingers crossed it won't be too bad . ATB
Should read " they weren't sold on the open market "
Aye, 5.4 % ,, but they weren't bought by a bloke , lol. ......they were sold on the open market but to a number of institutions who most probably will be holding them as longish term investments , so although as you say the price has dropped a fair bit , they may not be all that bothered.
Thank you ....but why are you telling me ?????
Hi mate , no disrespect but I think you may have misread those figures . At present HMG hold about 73% of the issued shares , these aren't being traded. That leaves just over 3 billion that are . 600 million would be around 20% of traded shares , can't see anyone holding that amount .

If you are a private Investor on the London Stock exchange within a Nominee account, i.e. your shares are held by an institution like Barclays Stockbrokers, Hargreaves Lansdown, iii, LLoyds, Halifax, etc. Then can I please ask you to consider signing the e-Gov petition set out below, set up by the ShareSoc chairman Roger Lawson, it doesn't take long, but could save you your investments and a lot of money in the future - http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/16769 If you've heard about the shenanigans that the Private Shareholders of Cosalt PLC have had to put up with over the last 12 months you'll understand why it's important for all of us. Let all Private Investors unite and tell the authorities that we need better protection. Up to 60 MP's are meeting to discuss the issues Cosalt shareholders are facing on 11th July 2012, if they can see there is large support for this issue they may act to help us all. Please feel free to copy and post this onto other share chat boards - lets get it viral! Here is what it says: Restore Shareholder Democracy by Ensuring Nominee Account Shareholders are on Share Registers by DefaultResponsible department: Department for Business, Innovation and Skills Private shareholders represent more than 10% of the shares held in publicly listed companies. They typically do not receive information, do not vote, and cannot attend general meetings of the companies they own because they are now mainly in nominee accounts. Unfortunately many stockbrokers do not, and will not, enfranchise their nominee clients. The reforms in the 2006 Companies Act did not solve this problem. The alternative of an electronic replacement for share certificates was killed off by vested interests. We need a proper system to ensure that all beneficial owners who hold their shares in nominee accounts are treated in the same way as those on the share register. Indeed they should be on the share register with the ability to opt out of company or third party communications if they wish. Such an option should only be granted if they have read specific wording to advise them of the loss of their normal legal rights and an explanation of the disadvantages of doing so.
