It does seem that someone really got mugged. Paid 31p for 10k of shares. Hope that it will go higher tomorrow, Haha

Last trade price wouldn't it be the latest price? 😊

Yes, google closing price is 31p !

According to the financial diary above, it says XD on the 12 January, that was yesterday. So we have three different dates now, haven't we?

George Soros is a gambler but a very good one. He only makes sure bets. So, if he bets on Santander then it could only mean a very good sign for the SP to recover well soon. GLA

after a reasonable start, the SP has been dragged down by TSCO's accounting scandal today...

The SP has recovered well and very swiftly indeed. Let's hope this will carry on next Monday. Merry Christmas everyone and GLA.

You don't seem to make sense to me mate, if you can see this will drop to 65 - 70p why sit tight but not sell them now and bought them back later when it does drop to that level then?

how RSA could manage to keep on rising? So, I may have got it all wrong by saying that it could never get back to its previous level any time soon then.

the latest spike from 91p ish, I have no intention to buy the share at the current level as I have serious doubt that it will go back to the previous level any time soon. Equally, I don't think it will drop to as low as 75p either. But of course I could be wrong because this is only my own opinion. Please don't take it as an advice or a reccomendation and always do your own research. GLA

Martin Scicluna, RSA Executive Chairman said: “The issues which emerged in our Irish business in 2013 were completely unacceptable and I have made it my personal priority to ensure that this never happens again. The Board is now confident that the financial and claims irregularities were isolated to Ireland and do not reflect the quality of our control framework elsewhere in the world. Does this mean the worst is over now, and it is time to consider buying the share back? Or the recent re-bounce in the SP has already reflecting the true worth the company for just now? hmm, decision, decision.

No, that's what I have just said. There is no way how we can price RSA at this particular moment. It is all depending on many outcomes for just now. It could mean one way or another making a very risky gamble for now. So, the best way is to stand away and watch and see. Good luck to you mate.

sold my previous purchase @102.7p and took a £300 hit just before the third shocking news by luck and I bought back @82.9p on Friday again after the big drop missing the bottom but sold @94.8p yesterday. This is it. I will stay clear for a moment and see how the sp will go before I decide to have another try. Like many have said, this is no way a settled matter. With many potential threats are likely waiting to surface such as the divis cut or may be a cash call making this share very dangerous to hold but of course there is a chance of being a take over target, which would also give the sp some sort of support. Still, I think I rather stay clear from it at this particular moment. Wish everyone the very best of luck.

You know what? I think you are quite right. Whatever we say or anyone says, it would not make a damn bit of difference to the SP. May be I was over-reacted. So, you can carry on with what you want to post. I don't care anymore.

or should I call you 2-come-back-from-death? I only have one question for you. What exactly is your agenda(motivation) to post like that? What I mean is, what can you possibly gain from it?

hate to tell everyone that if posters appeared in a bb like this can only mean one thing, which is the share is definitely in trouble. This situation is exactly like those disgusting flies hoovering over carcases. Alltough RSA is not dead yet, they would just gather around quickly as soon as they smell something bad. let's hope the bad smell was only RSA breaking wind! False alarm girls, the sp drop today only may be have something to do with the falling market. Why don't you girls come back again tomorrow and see if RSA is really dying or just had too much bake beans?

I quite agree RSA's sp is too low due to the knee jerk reaction to the two terrible shocks. But since the investigation is still on going, a swift recovery is not yet a dead cert. So, at the moment, it is a two way pull depending on the outcome of what PWC might find. The only thing we can be sure right now is that the current price is not expensive and it might not be the bottom either. And it is definitely a good entry point with a chance to top up at an even lower price. Of course this is just my own take. Let's hope we won't see a lower top up price. Anyway, WAFDIK. Please don't take this as an advice or recommendation, always DYOR. GLA

Unless you have bought your RSA shares long ago but as I have pointed it out in my previous post. More than 85% of the people, who bought them in the past 5 years would be in red now. Because the current price only higher than less than a month in Nov 2011 and about a month in May 2012. The rest, 4 years and 10 months were at least 105p or higher! So, unless we can see a quick recovery before Xmas, otherwise, many would be in a loss after buying them for years. Of course the dividends were good but still if you have bought in @120 or even 130+ then part of these dividends would have also been cancelled out too. If you work it out this way, I don't think you can call this is a good share at all. The good thing is, now this share is much more attractive than ever before because its sp is near to almost the lowest for 5 years. There is a very good chance to see it rise, provided that there will be no more shocking news to come. If not, then at least we are getting in cheap!

the investigation is still on going then we should be well aware that there could be more skeletons to be pull out from RSA's closet. So, here we are. The reaction to the news actually isn't too bad. The sp only down 0.7p or 0.66%. Perhaps we are already got used to it and beginning to feel numb if it isn't so painful!

That's what people call it hindsight mate. We always make wrong decisions and ended up kicking ourselves for either bought the wrong shares or sold the wrong shares. Simply foresight can never beat the hindsight. Therefore at the end of the day, we need a bit of luck with our investment no matter how safe or certain they might have appeared. There is a quote from Anon: 'Keep your bowels open, tin head on and trust to god!' Anyway, we can never call everything right. Life should be a two way traffic, there are some coming your way and some taken away from you. Again, there is another quote from Anon: 'When everything seems coming your way. You must be in the wrong lane!' So we should look things at the bright side. Don't think that we are the worst. There are many far worse than us. Oh dear, I think I am talking carp here, please ignore me. Anyway, good morning to you and to everyone. And thanks for your feedback.
