Just a layman's perspectiv who has also money tied up in this stock. I am 75% down on my invetsment but don't see the point in dumping the other 25% yet. RBS is mainly owned by the UK Govt.. They have pumped billions into it to keep it afloat... it is steadier now and in time will pull back to the point where Gov.t will sell at a profit. If the Irish Govt are going to put over £3billion into ALBK I cannot believe theythink it is going under. On the contrary they want to see it survive and flourish. So it may take a year or two but I am thinking that if I hold then one day my current paper loss will trun back into break even or possibly a profit.
I hope this doesn't impact on OML

No, me neither, had HLO on my wathclist and had had a llo for 117 when it was up at 224 but glad I took it off. A broad portfolio trdaing on trends and cycles with the little daytrading when possible. Will ride this one out and see where ti takes us. 185 has just been posted by SHUM don't know looking at resistance levels it would see that there is not a lot standing in the way of a bullish share. Need to see what the conviction will be.
Saw you hoped for £2 today... Why do you think the sp will rise to £2?
You seem to have been on this sp for a while. Obviously the broker forecasts have not been adjuysted yet so are all relating tp the pre-result price but what sort of new level will this make? I read the results and couldn't see the justification in the huge drop. Yes an accountanvu change but the forecast and revenue looked healthy, wondered what you thought? Thanks

I haven't been on this boeard before normally stay on Lloyds and RBS but it is amazing how most shares drop on result s day. Obvioulsy not as much as this share has which amazed me until I read the the financial statement. HHowever apart from their accountin procedures which reflect a drop of £6 million approx. the Revenue has increased and the prospects look quite positive. IMHO. I bow to those on this board whose experience and knowledge have kept investors going. Thanks chaps, forun your comments very helpful and 'bullish' !!
Restates previous years' results * Says adopting more prudent accounting policy * Raises FY dividend to 5p from 2p last year * Shares fall 35 pct (Recasts; adds analysts' comments, details, updates share movement) BANGALORE, March 23 (Reuters) - British medical staffing firm Healthcare Locums Plc (LSE: HLO.L - news) on Tuesday posted a full-year pretax profit that was well below market expectations due to a change in its accounting for revenue, sending its shares down nearly 35 percent. The company, which supplies staff to hospital and social services, also restated its previous years' results to reflect a new accounting policy for permanent placements. "There are two things going on with the share price this morning. One, the accounting policy change that has an impact on profitability. But, there has also been a slowdown in the core locum business," Evolution Securities analyst Adrian Kearsey told Reuters. The company's new policy, which will now recognise most revenue on the start date rather than when the candidate accepts a position, resulted in adjusted operating profit of 25.2 million pounds ($38.0 million) in 2009. Healthcare Locums said it would have reported an adjusted operating profit of more than 31 million pounds if it followed its old accounting policy. Arbuthnot Research analyst David Brockton said while a more prudent accounting policy was required given a growing international contribution, the acknowledgement that the prior policy was becoming inadequate and the way it was communicated to the market would not help investor sentiment. Brockton downgraded the stock to "neutral" from "buy". However, analyst Kearsey said the focus over the next few months would be on the core locum business, and not the accounting change. Turnover from two of the company's three locum business segments, doctors and social workers, fell by 0.7 percent and 19.5 percent, respectively, in 2009. "After the elections, whilst there will continue to be significant demand for temporary workers within the (National Health Service), the commissions paid to agencies could be looked at," Kearsey said. Healthcare Locums said it looked forward to the future with confidence, helped by the passing of U.S. President Barack Obama's healthcare reforms. For the year ended Dec. 31, Healthcare Locums posted a pretax profit of 17.7 million pounds, compared with 13.9 million pounds in the year-ago period. Revenue climbed 5 percent to 172.1 million pounds. Analysts on average were looking for a pretax profit of 31.0 million pounds, on revenue of 199.8 million pounds, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Healthcare Locums also declared a final dividend of 1.9 pence per share, bringing the full-year dividend to 5 pence a share, up from 2 pence last year. Shares of the company were down 31 percent at 152 pence at 1216 GMT on the London Stock Exchange (LSE: LSE.L - news) . They tou
My dummy buy price is at 147.95 Saw on the 3 month chart that the stoch was overbought. That big sell off has brought the stoch down to 38. Obviously on all signals Sw Index Dyn RSI Macd they are all down.. so I think I need to see it stabilise before buying in.

Just put it on the 3 month chart and looking bullish with stoch up, Macd appears to have crossed the signal on the bullish side and the RSI is up
