Market going to bounce around until the Fed announces at 1:15pm EST. Might get a pop up after that, but UK markets will be closed so you'll not be able to get out.Originally posted by sasguru View PostSticking - for now ....How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

As have all the other banks. The take up in the last round was pitiful.Originally posted by Cyberman View PostYou forget that HBOS has already had access for months to BofE funding, which Northern Rock was denied. That is one reason why HBOS' demise has been slowed down. You are slightly naive.

I doubt HBOS will go bust, at these prices definitely undervalued.Hard Brexit now!

The price will rise a bit before the end of the day when a sensible person should sell, and a sell-off will start again tomorrow and the price will be sub 1 pound next week.
