Sorry but I hope you're wrong 2ngh.
I wonder if Hollerich is still there? And what he thinks.
Not just a respectable suburb of Luxembourg.

4/10
edit looking a buy around 780 but the fact the
dow might take a retrace, bringing all banks shares down a peg
lloy at 69p would be wishful thinking
15/10
touched a low of 69 but on the sidelines hoping for a bit more
of a drop, and the euro/$ to go higher, mcd lookin good & au to 12q
AU at 1460 looking good to take profits, & buy back in a bit cheaper
25/10 lloy dropping nicely,

Banco Santander SA, Spain's biggest lender, said it bought a portfolio of U.S. car loans from HSBC Holdings Plc for $4 billion.

The loans, which have a face value of $4.3 billion, will be managed by Santander's U.S. consumer finance unit, the Madrid- based bank said in a statement. The deal will cost Santander $342 million because most of the portfolio is already financed.

A senior Banco Santander executive was on Tuesday night charged with insider trading by the Securities and Exchange Commission in relation to the hostile $39bn bid by BHP Billiton, the mining company, for PotashCorp, the fertiliser producer. Juan Garcia, 35, head of Europe equity derivatives research at Banco Santander, which is advising BHP on its bid, was charged by the SEC alongside Luis Sanchez, another Madrid resident, the FT reports.

Yes, a really shrewd move, especially if they offer something innovative to UK customers. The existing high street bankers have been ripping everyone off for years. I hope they make the most of the opportunity. Time will tell.

[hollerich1] 04/8/2010 08:11

boy, this guys are who you really call a good banker, the amount of aquirsition made at this down turn will send this guys flying when the profit start rolling in, look at the rbs purchase details, it stated that it will be eps accretive and transaction will add 40 basis point to tier 1 capital and acquisition will add 15% in 3 years, this is smashing.

cheers evox.

Hollerich1 (434) - I think the answer is not much : the likelihood that this will happen is already priced in. Over time however it will become apparent how smart these Spanish guys have been in buying all these assets on the cheap. That is what will raise the shareprice over the next year IMO.

evox, many thanks for the info.

[hollerich1] 03/8/2010 07:10

so what happens to the share price if the bid for rbs branches are won.

[evox] 02/8/2010 20:29

fryingpan - yes the spread has been quite wide (>2%) just recently (and ridiculously wide at times), however this has only been the case since the volatile period from April this year. Prior to that it was routinely less than 1%

[fryingpan] 30/7/2010 10:16

Morning,

Just a quick one if anyone has a minute, is the BNC spread usually around the 1.5 to 2.0% ish range (ie quite a bit higher than our banks)? I've been keeping an eye on the price but haven't been paying attention to the spread.

Cheers,

fryingpan

[wad collector] 28/7/2010 09:28

Sitting on a small profit again here ; like many I suspect I am wondering whether to hold or to curse the whole sector and get out.Don't want to miss a surge but...

Hi all, can anyone tell me how much of the south American subsidury is directly owned by the spannish holding company and do the ADRs traded on the NYSE relate to just the SA part of the group or the whole entity?

[gbb483] 23/7/2010 17:53
