Whats the best way to buy these shares? sorry for being so naive but i am really interested as i think this looks like buying money

What is the amount that's guaranteed?

This might be a daft question, but I have a lot of £ in HBOS accounts and what would happen to it if HBOS went down?

Protected by the Bank of England's depositors scheme, up to a point

"UK banks are required to be members of, and to contribute to, a deposit protection scheme. This entitles depositors with a failed institution to receive 90% of their protected deposits, subject to a maximum payment to any depositor of £18,000 ."

Would it be better to plough some of your savings into the shares then?



As per NRK though, highly unlikely the bank of england would get it that far (Lehmans in the US isn't a retail bank)

Im thinking of buying about 10k worth of these shares, whats the worst that can happen?

Where do i get the best up to date prices?

So its a lump on?

I don't know a lot about this, but would this not be the time to buy loads of these shares?

Well i have to add something everyone seems to be missing, good money management outside of poker is key without this even great players go bust. You know if/when its right to turn pro basically when your house is in order so to speak.

It can be tough and stressfull but if you do it right it can be a great life also. The other thing i would say is it is much harder online now than it was a year ago so your game has got to be very good to withstand the test of time and stronger opponents

Ok sounds as if i will fit in a treat then

I am looking for a team if anyone is interested or just short of a player?

I would like to come think my name on blonde is Mole007, really should know as i just joined it doh...let me know if this is ok.

Can the bar steward in Luton put in a triple order for Glenfiddich please, actually better double that 

Good call i am sure the buggers ran out when i was down for the gukpt and that deviant Alex Martin had me on some sort of fruit juice.
