Morning all...
In regards to divi's, the likeliness is Lloyds will pay out first as they don't have the DAS to overcome and their earnings per share are likely to increase ahead of RBS.
Marty, in regards the shares, bear in mind RBS had a huge rights issue back in 2008 which heavily diluted the amount of shares thereby falling heavily in value. If and when a divi is announced, it will pertain to x amount of the profits the board, as Jings said, decides to pay out to shareholders. It would be more accurate to look at it that way then try to figure out x per share. At the moment the core RBS are making around 6 billion in operating profit. Im hoping once the non core has been virtually depleted, the board will pay around 2billion plus out of that to shareholders.
