i fail to see what was wrong with the business. i think these traders who "short" the price have got a lot to answer for. and who is to say they wont turn their guns on LTSB/HBOS next ?
...
The new bank will have about a third of Britain's mortgages - they can do whatever they want because that could never, ever fail yep...a few years ago they would have put a halt to this but now the govt won't object to this (approves it actually) as not doing it would destabilise the economy even more...so...let's have the banks make a mess of things and then give them a monopoly in return. Brilliant. This is a ridiculous merger to allow to go ahead and some day this will come back and bite the consumers in the arse...then what? |

F. me
How much further can thes banker sector drop ffs !!
HBOS down ANOTHER 20% today to 160p
RBS down 20% aswell today to 148p.
I used to work at RBS so know more about them than HBOS but 18 months ago these shares were trading at £8
The economic conditions are just unbelieveably bad at the mo.

this is nowhere near the bottom
we need to see non-financial bankruptcies first, and bad debts to the banks from that
good luck though!

Better than HBOS though. Short would have been a good play then |
