    IMO wanking preference shares are oversold now - bargains to be had.

    PS. Why is "wanking" not converted to "tuliping" ?

    For me it would be Barclays or HSBC. Neither have had government handouts and I believe have "relatively" little exposure to the European banks. I've had my eye on both of these for some time and not jumped in yet. Too much risk for me.

    If I were to have some play money for a punt Barc would have to drop below £1.55 and HSBC £4.00

    Good man.

    BTL and Gold. It's doom proof.

    FTFY. given that the only reason 1 (or latter rumors say 3) banks didn't go belly up yesterday was due to the American's riding to the rescue I wouldn't hold up much hope on Germany fixing anything.

    Its not such much the issue that Germany is fiddling while Rome burns its the fact Rome has burnt down while Germany is still haggling over the price the orchestra wants for playing.

    You say this as if it's some kind of foregone conclusion. The Eurozone has spent over a year trying to agree some means of rescuing the banking sector and have so far failed, what makes you think they will ever succeed?

    I think trying to quickly double your money on banking shares is highly risky, probably have better chances sticking it on lottery tickets.

    For long term investment, I think the best UK listed banks are HSBC & Standard Chartered.

    I see in the long term, 2-5 years banking shares could go up 3 fold or more and that’s why I bought in, but I don’t think last weeks blip was the bottom.
    Eventually the carriage has got to fall off the rollercoaster.

    It's like a game of buckaroo at the moment.

    Credit Agricole seems likely to be big news i the near future.

    RBS. I bought a load yesterday and I want them to go up as much as possible before I sell.
