Banks aren't the highest yielding shares at the moment, this is true, but they have done quite well over the last few years. They also tend to make money during hard times, unlike most other companies.

They are also fairly safe, ironically, as recent events have proven that governments aren't going to let the big ones fail.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

It's not like banks are technology companies that can massively increase share value overnight - the growth in value of shares is modest at best and it goes in cycles (look at BARC shares in the last 10 years).Last edited by AtW; 9 August 2010, 14:51.Comment

Plough your share of the £100K you've made over 6 years back into your company. Make sure to leave some money over for your rent and pot noodles, you hear.

RBS were paying very healthy divvies up until the crisis, so were Lloyds, Barclays & HSBC weren't far behind.
I think we can expect to see 5%+ out of the latter two (who didn't take money from the state) again in the next year or two.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

I was getting 5%+ on my savings account in "good times" (before QE and negative interest rates) ffs - why take extra risk with those shares then?Comment
