Northern Rock : Monday Share prices

[RightLaugh]

Anyone actually considering buying some shares?

I think I will buy shares but not yet and not northern rock.
Soon will be a good time to buy cheap stocks in good companies.
I bought NR a couple of weeks ago and the next day decided I had been stupid and sold them. I only lost £100 with a £3000 investment. I if had left it in it would be worth £1500. Phew.

The only safe place for money is BTL.

Honest. Safe as houses.

Out of the frying pan into the fire?

What we need to see is all the Northern Rock punters transferring their £2bn into the Halifax or the Abbey or whatever and then one of those banks going tits up because they were in real trouble and hadn't said anything.

It's curious how the Northern Rock customers are so suspicious of their own bank but don't seem at all worried about shifting the cash to another bank which could just as well be in a worse situation.

A friend of mine who works for Barclays was stood outside the Cambridge branch of NR poaching customers on Friday.

She was reeling them in for fun!

Her commission has gone through the roof!

Tank,

Northern Rock is a hard-nosed, aggressive bank only interested in hooking people in. Once they get savers the rates drop like stones.

Maybe the sheep will get better deals elsewhere...

share price through the floor - £3 now - down £1.60 (was £12 not long ago)

Tank.

The general public are as thick as a herd of sheep and their run on Northern Rock will continue and spread to other banks. General loss of confidence in whole banking sector followed by much discussion and hot air. It will all calm down in a few weeks as the BoE bails out the rotten lenders with tax payers' money.

Slight loss (5% or so?)

[Sockpuppet]

I think they may have recovered but I think more and more people will want to withdraw money having seen the "difficulties" that other people are having accessing and withdrawing the money.

NR will crash and burn. Someone will buy them and hike the mortgage rate .25% house prices will fall.

Doomed!
