To what extent might we give this share the benefit of the doubt and say the risk of return of a devalued peseta is priced in -after all its been to 10euro since the crash. It still has to be said that however good the ECB are at managing the debt crisis when a country has 40% of its young unemployed and concentrated more often than not in towns this is a situation that cannot indeed/ will not be possible to ignore. Will an upturn in US paradoxically be enough to lift Europe out of the hole/off the hook?!

Year end review of my holdigs complete. So happy with the Div from BNC. Buying more for trading isa in April. Love it. When the share price rises so much the better.....but not til I buy more please.

[pvb] 14/12/2011 18:03

Oh well! It couldn't last... Checked at 6pm and I'm no longer a millionaire.

[pvb] 14/12/2011 11:44

's funny! My holding of BNC shares in my ISA has just jumped to over £1.2m
(and that's from a very good deal less than last time I looked).

Is there something we should know? Unfortunately I suspect it is more likely a brokers trading system_ glitch. Be fun to see how long it lasts. Perhaps I should sell all right now! A gain of 21,500% is not to be sniffed at after all.

WOW! My Air Partner shares have gained 9000% as well! That'll be another million then. I'm feeling rich!

LOL!

Consider whether the Bank of Ireland is fit and proper to hold a UK banking licence and operate the UK Post Office savings business
Responsible department: Her Majesty's Treasury

The Irish Finance Ministry announced that it is considering using legislation to write down the savings of thousands of UK citizens invested in PIBS of Bristol & West Building Society, which was taken over by the Bank of Ireland in 1997, by up to 100%. The Irish Finance Minister has recently stated that the Bank is, if anything, over-capitalised and amongst the strongest capitalised banks in the world. There is no justification for the proposed confiscation of savings invested in the former Bristol & West PIBS. These investments should only be at risk once the ordinary and preference shareholders have been written down. In the case of the Bank of Ireland neither has happened. The UK government should consider whether the Bank of Ireland, being subject to such actions by the Irish government, is fit and proper to hold a UK banking licence or to conduct the savings business of such a trusted brand as the UK Post Office.

Spain in race against time to avert bail-out

Markets have dashed any lingering hopes of an investor honeymoon for Spain's incoming leader Mariano Rajoy, sending the IBEX index in Madrid crashing through the 8,000 level and pushing borrowing costs to toxic levels.

22 Nov 2011

Yields on three-month Spanish notes jumped to 5.11pc at a sale on Tuesday, higher than rates paid by Greece last week.

Mr Rajoy's team is scrambling to find ways to shorten the paralysing hiatus until mid-December when the new government is finally able to take charge under Spanish law.

"We have to go beyond strictly legal requirements because the markets are not going to wait," said Miguel Arias Canete head of the Partido Popular's top body.

Close advisers to Mr Rajoy said the party will have to flesh out exactly how it plans to pull the country out of its downward spiral, and perhaps reach an accord with the outgoing socialist to start implementing emergency measures. The country may need €30bn (£26bn) in fresh cuts to reach its 4.4pc deficit target next year.

HSBC said the country is in a race against time to avoid becoming the fourth EMU country to need a bail-out. "The question now is whether the new government is able to reassure markets that it can deliver quickly enough to beat back the market bears and avoid turning to the (EU-IMF) troika," said the bank's strategist Madhur Jha.

Nervous investors around the globe are accelerating their exit from the debt of European governments and banks, increasing the risk of a credit squeeze that could set off a downward spiral.

Financial institutions are dumping their vast holdings of European government debt and spurning new bond issues by countries like Spain and Italy. And many have decided not to renew short-term loans to European banks, which are needed to finance day-to-day operations.

If this trend continues, it risks creating a vicious cycle of rising borrowing costs, deeper spending cuts and slowing growth, which is hard to get out of, especially as some European banks are having trouble meeting their financing needs.

The latest evidence that governments, too, are facing a buyers' strike came Thursday, when a disappointing response to Spain's latest 10-year bond offering allowed rates to climb to nearly 7 percent, a new record. A French bond auction also received a lukewarm response.

Traders said that fewer international buyers were stepping up at the auctions. The European Central Bank cannot buy directly from governments but is purchasing euro zone debt in the open market. Bond rates settled somewhat Friday, with Italian yields hovering at 6.6 percent and Spanish rates around 6.3 percent; each had been below 5 percent earlier this year.

For Spain, the recent rise in rates means having to spend an extra 1.8 billion euros ($2.4 billion) annually to borrow, rapidly narrowing the options of European leaders. For Italy, every 1 percent rise in rates translates to about 6 billion euros (about $8 billion) in extra costs annually, according to Barclays Capital.

If officials simply cut spending to pay the added interest costs, they face further economic contraction at home. If they ignore the bond market, however, they could find themselves unable to borrow and pay their bills.

Either situation risks choking off growth in Europe and threatens the stability of the Continent's banks, which would further undermine demand and business confidence in the United States and around the world.

Experts say the cycle of anxiety, forced selling and surging borrowing costs is reminiscent of the months before the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008, when worries about subprime mortgages in the United States metastasized into a global market crisis.

market sentiment, and being dragged through the dung with other banks unfairly simply cause it is a bank and its based in Spain with little reference to fact this bank is one of the best performing and one of best placed re risks at present. Just got to give it time till all settles I am afraid.

How unbearably hilarious. What a card you are! Wasted your life? Feel any tinge of remorse that you could have been more than an internet troll? I have a wonderful fulfilling existence. You are a bitter, negative weirdo who devotes his life to undermining and demoralising people.

I hope this helps
