    HBOS Shares crashing

    HBOS shares have crashed 35% today alone, now at £1.51, this is looking very dodgy, anyone started to withdraw money from HBOS? I would have if I had money there.

    Wow! If I had money there, you'd have to think about it. How long did it take Northern Rock to go under? This could be worse.

      Maybe I should give 'em a call and say I can't pay; might tip em over the edge!

        This could be another Northern Rock scenario, but remember Northern Rock did not have toxic debt. HBOS has approx. 22 Billion.

          Oh no it's not (well sort of) It’s called under selling. Ie. A large shareholder sells a lot of shares to start a slide in value and when the price falls enough he buys them back again making a profit.

                Did you read pages two and three?

                Do you work for some bizarre dump & pump reverse boiler room scam?

                  howdy,
                  my Ltd company bank account is with Natwest

                  Im asking myself how do I get at the dosh

                  Ive taken way too much grief off my boss over the last 6 months to be losing it LOL

                  can I legally withdraw it or is its movement restricted as its a Ltd company?

                  Ive left a message with my accountant but she aint answering for some reason

                    Natwest is part of RBOS which are not really in danger.
