RBS May Write-Down $14 Billion

The only good news at Royal Bank of Scotland is that the bad news is not worse. RBS will probably write down another $14 billion and raise as much as $12 billion through a rights offering.

"It will likely be a kitchen-sinking exercise. They only want to do this once," one of the sources said according to Reuters.

Those who thought the banking crisis was passing may want to think again.
