HBOS a good investment?

[booder]

If my bank goes tits up, does my overdraft get written off ?

only if all the banks go bust, but then tobacco becomes the new currency.

I'm putting everything I have into fags.

Must be the way forward ... after all, Flushy is NEVER skint

not enough love for this

All the part nationalised banks (RBOS etc) are going to be lousy investments for a long time, possibly decades. Not being run for you now, being run for the government. Lower dividends, less commercial decisions. Horrible for investors

Lloyds TSB will be a better investment sooner, but on an 18 month view the enormous exposure to UK housing and HBOS' poor lending makes it a poor proposition at the moment

and we still ahven't seen non financial bankruptcies

avoid, still. In my opinion.

I should have listened. FML that is all.

In the current climate, does anyone thing debt collection agencies would be a prudent investment?

Full nationalisation ahead?

Full nationalisation ahead?

if things don't pick up on a six month view, absolutely

I'd say it was currently odds-on

I think from the press that all the bad news is out now as there would be no point holding any more back, but who knows.
