I did not buy any when i asked the question last time, i had some shares in RBS before But these were bought before the credit crisis really exploded, After said crisis i asked re the bank sector, but decided to stay away, the shares had already gone up a fair bit by then and i felt most of...

For a longer term investment, would buying UK bank shares be a good move about now? I'm thinking Barclays and HSBC, both have dropped quite a bit in the recent sell off, especially barclays Is now a good time to buy do you think? for a long term 5 years + buy and hold or do you think there are...

Would now be a good time to buy big bank stocks? in terms of long term buy an hold strategy, they seem to be trading at pretty low prices at the moment and a lot of it seems down to all the negativity surrounding banking Are big banks like RBS and barclays a good long term bet at todays prices?

HERE, HERE These boards are about helping not rubbing someones nose in it, i to have just started out and was looking at this course myself, what i have noticed is that a lot of these course's are marketed at the beginner as being easy to understand, simple and that proven results are obtained...
