Originally posted by Cyberman View PostHBOS has generally been regarded as the next bank to fail, for the past year or so. Anybody buying really is crazy IMO.
When banks fail like this they fail fast. Lehmans was gone a matter of days. Northern Rock only lasted as long as they did because speculation and dithering about what the Government would do kept them afloat for a couple of weeks longer than they should have had.
The deal to sell Merril Lynch was done in a week because that was the timescale they knew they had to get it done before they risked going under themselves.
My money is on Barcleys being the success story after the dust settles. hey seem to eb the only bank in a position to take advantage of whats happening."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

You 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.Comment
