HBOS have been the whipping boy for short selling speculators for a while now, any time there are market jitters they take a kicking.

Alistair Darling made specific reference to HBOS this morning when he criticised shorting in the markets as being partly responsible for the fall in prices."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment
