calscot 0 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 For once I actually have enough spare cash to buy shares but I have too many reservations about investing either directly or in the RST scheme. I'm thinking the best way for my finances and value for money would be to buy shares in a year or so once the share price has settled down - but then Rangers won't have my extra money to spend. I'm put off by the fact that there are people who are going to make super normal profits out of this - a bit like a pyramid scheme, and the fact that it's the holding company for sale. For the RST version I'm put off by having to be a member and after being a former member my trust in them has not yet returned since the mass resignations. I'm not worried about people "resting" money in their accounts, it's more about those that seem to be overly power hungry to the detriment of the trust. I'd also be more interested if I didn't have to pay them a tenner every year as I could see a one-off £125 investment as more of a donation quantity. So can anyone convince me that either avenue is a good idea? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aweebluesoandso 290 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I opted to join the RST scheme, two reasons for this was firstly was the price £125 plus £10 for RST membership is within reach of my petty cash and with Christmas coming on and the extra expense we have at this time. Secondly I like the idea of being part of a larger group, I don't own the share directly but the RST does but hopefully everyone committing to this venture will turn up and have our say at their AGM. So the more voices heard the more we get a say with the RST and ultimately with Rangers, which is as all we really want, a small price to pay imo. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anchorman 0 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Is there any indication or way of knowing how well the fans' take up is going? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read something on another forum where a poster stated that the uptake was something like 100 applications per day? that may though exclude the big institution's and wealthy investors. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capita Registrars has the subscription at 24m not sure who much of that is the fans but about 50K a day coming in according to them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is 50k per day from the fans then that points towards a mega flop for the "Offer" part of the flotation. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So can anyone convince me that either avenue is a good idea? If the uptake is positive the fee will hopefully be waived for members investing via the community share scheme. Basically, there could be enough cash in the bank from membership subs to let the RST trade for years without the fee. Nothing set in stone but that's the thinking. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
