I am always hopelessly wrong at moment but if close can survive the next few years I would have though a lot of competion will be gone as the 'merchant banks' seem to be disappearing quickly. The strategy seems right to me-a break up would have been a disaster. But what effect does the lack of inter-bank lending, drying up whole sale markets etc have on these?

GONE XD...now the trickle down to 3 quid!

[jarjar] 07/10/2008 21:12

xd day tomorrow
will it tank 25p or will it rise with the crowd ?
edit
with DOW at -508 I guess it will be down with the crowd
the Yanks really don't know how to help themselves
and we always follow them blindly

[jarjar] 03/10/2008 19:41

xd date is now 08.10.08 = Wednesday
that is why it is rising at the moment
a good dividend coming in November
but the Dow drop this pm is worrying

[l376233] 12/9/2008 19:32

looking good for 700 by month end

[jarjar] 06/9/2008 23:29

buy at 500p - sell at 700p - give it 6-9 mths
take over at 800p plus

[jarjar] 03/9/2008 14:27

L3 - which share are you looking at ?

[l376233] 02/9/2008 17:15

Good share to be in. at 587 and moving north, and yes dividend to come

[its the oxman] 04/8/2008 15:51

looks like c.500p might be the bottom - hopefully ok results will see us climb a little further as well. financial disaster stories have been factored in and the assumption is stock markets have further to fall or will take years to stabilize/recover - i'm also happy to bet something else will probably happen. sit back and enjoy the dividend in the meantime.

[corrientes] 21/7/2008 08:45

What's going on here ?

[corrientes] 19/7/2008 00:15

That's what many think and that's why it won't happen.

[roidstermuthafukk] 18/7/2008 17:24

i espect a bid maybe...but not buying back in no matter what...the markets shagged...only time will tell...as i said dow 8000...ftse 4000 within 6-8 months!

[corrientes] 18/7/2008 16:27

I expect the weekend press will be full of reports on financials anticipating exit from their nadirs. What the heck if the UK Government is changing its self imposed borrowing rules, why shouldn't the market change its attitude to debt.
