06/3/2012 15:30 | A four-fold increase in profits at Northern Rock's 'bad bank' has helped lift earnings at the taxpayer-backed company that owns it and Bradford & Bingley. Northern Rock Asset Management (NRAM) saw underlying profit before tax rise from £191m in 2010 to £790m in 2011. This resulted in a 145% increase in pre-tax profits at the company behind NRAM and Bradford & Bingley (B&B) to £1.09bn. UK Asset Resolution (UKAR), which was set up in October 2010 to operate the two banks, had reported underlying pre-tax profit of £444.1m in 2010. The number of mortgages three or more months in arrears fell 14% year-on-year to 33,216 but the company was forced to repossess 98 more homes in 2011. In its first full year as an entity, UKAR said it has repaid £2.1bn to taxpayers over 2011 following the bailouts at the start of the financial crisis. So far £3.1bn of NRAM's loan has been paid back since its separation from Northern Rock in 2010, with an additional £1.21bn in interest payments. B&B commenced loan repayments in 2011 to the Government with £150m given back over the year. | loganair | |
03/3/2012 12:39 | Thanks PWhite, Many of us owe enormous admiration and gratitude to the few like you who continue to battle away. Others are so embittered by ITO this enormous injustice that they have given up. It's now just about the principle, and about whether The Mighty State can get away with confiscation of positively accounted and market-valued property without compensation, and with passing retrospective Laws which rig the valuation process. To demand that creditors are paid 8% 'statutory' interest when the bank can only charge its debtors 0.5% plus a small margin inevitably leads to ultimately no value left. And I am sure HMRC does not pay us 8% on any due refund or overcharge. Once more, I salute your perseverance. I keep hoping that a win could be my most joyous day-but-one; the best would be to see Brown convicted and noosed. | zastas | |
02/3/2012 18:36 | Its not over yet. A question was raised in the House of Lords on 31/01/12. We are still awaiting on a decision from the upper tribunal as of 31/01/12. 31 Jan 2012 : Column WA302 Banking: Bradford and Bingley Questions Asked by Lord Hoyle To ask Her Majesty's Government whether, and if so when, former shareholders of Bradford and Bingley will be refunded for the value of their former shareholding.[HL1492 The Commercial Secretary to the Treasury (Lord Sassoon): Following the transfer of Bradford and Bingley into public ownership, the previous Government made the Bradford and Bingley plc Compensation Scheme Order 2008. The order provided that each shareholder should receive compensation equal to the value of his shares immediately before they were taken into public ownership. The amount of compensation would be assessed by an independent valuer. Peter Clokey was appointed as the independent valuer. On 5 July 2010, he published his report, setting out his determination that, as the shares had a nil value at the relevant time, no compensation is payable by the Government to former shareholders of Bradford and Bingley. Subsequently, shareholders referred Mr Clokey's decision to the upper tribunal. The tribunal has yet to decide that appeal. | pwhite73 | |
28/2/2012 17:04 | In the DM today: UKAR has said that the total profit for HMG out of BB. and NRK will be 9-11 billion after 10-12 sitting on the confiscated assets. | zastas | |
28/2/2012 15:01 | I wonder how much money HMG are going to make out of the nationalisation of BB??? UK taxpayers are expected to make a net profit of up to £11bn from the nationalisation and resale of Northern Rock, according to UKFI. UKFI, the body which controls the Government stakes in bailed-out banks and other financial institutions, said taxpayers could eventually expect a return of between £46bn and £48bn cash from Northern Rock. The Government has provided £37bn of funding to Northern Rock since its collapse in 2007, meaning the taxpayer is in line to make a profit of up to £11bn. | loganair | |
24/2/2012 09:59 | You should see the latest edit of a post as far as I'm aware. We are able to store deleted posts and sometimes have to for legal reasons. New Tech, I'm afraid we have no plans to reduce the cost of Level 1 data. As you have pointed out, Google do now offer real time prices, but they can get the prices and a lot of other data wrong, for instance, they are currently showing GKP as being at 369.5, whereas the actual price is 367.75. It's also worth noting that they don't show Bid and Offer, which is pretty important if you want to use the data to trade. Each time I look at the data to compare it to us, London Stock Exchange and Bloomberg, we all match apart from Google. Also on GKP, they are showing a Market Cap of £2.82billion (rather than £3.14billion) and shares in issue of 762million (rather than 854million). John | jgpgw | |
24/2/2012 07:15 | can you see edited posts now? Alf not be happy | jon827 | |
24/2/2012 01:01 | It's interesting that posts with deleted content are included in searches. So I assume deleted posts are kept on the server, and simply flaged as deleted. | thetatrader | |
23/2/2012 23:01 | John when are we going to get some decent time fibs. goodness its about time! your charting is getting ancient. | andonis | |
23/2/2012 22:12 | stop kissing ass..u wont get a free subscription jon | joe moon | |
23/2/2012 20:10 | sanks John, no wonder ADVFN's share price is going up :) | jon827 | |
23/2/2012 19:07 | John, are we still able to see original posts, (ie, pre being edited), like we used to. If not, is there a reason for it, and can we have the feature back! | waywardlad | |
23/2/2012 18:50 | Can I ask what the benefits of it are? | lennonsalive | |
23/2/2012 18:35 | Brilliant!! | loverat | |
23/2/2012 16:26 | Using the power of cleverness, our devs have just indexed everything back to year dot in ADVFN years (June 1999 in Gregorian). It looks like it was easier than I first thought. You can now search for any word and will get results from every post on the BBs. John | jgpgw | |
22/2/2012 16:58 | Jon827, it takes a very long time to index the data historically and it sucks up a lot of our power, so to speak, meaning that the site could get quite slow whilst we are doing it. We should be able to increase the historical stuff as we go along, but it'll be in fits and starts. John | jgpgw | |
22/2/2012 16:18 | sanks John, if id read the header above i would of had my answer anyway! why only a few years snippet of data? looks like your 'oil' search has called teh top in GKP btw :) | jon827 | |
22/2/2012 15:47 | John (and W), I was also thinking of the numerous user ids I see on these threads ramping a stock or alternatively creating doubt and confusion. Not to mention those that follow other posters around and cast aspersions. Due to the anonymity, you can't rely on any poster being bona fide. Easy to fix by requiring strong ID at registration and linking all alias together for us all to see. Nic | nicd | |
22/2/2012 13:35 | Hi WStirrup, We have that available on a lot of our pages, for instance if you go to and start typing something it will start to offer suggestions. If you still can't find what you're after, we also have a . You can use the BB search as well to find stocks whose tickers you don't know, for instance, if you don't know the symbol for Gulf Keystone, you could go to , type in "Gulf Keystone" and you will get these . Doing page specific shortcuts is quite tricky as the shortcuts tend to refer to what is built into the browser rather than the page itself. Ctrl + R for instance refreshs the page in most browsers. A troll on a forum is normally taken to mean someone who posts off-topic or tries to rile people. John | jgpgw | |
22/2/2012 13:00 | Another feature I'd like to see is searching for EPIC Codes where you know part of the name of a company/etf/trust fund/etc but don't know its ticker symbol(and vice-versa) and for Aussie/Canadian/Amer and a short-cut to the [post-reply] button - something like in Outlook e-mail - . . .[Shift] + [Enter] Or [Ctrl]+ [Enter] Or [Ctrl]+[R] to (reply) Cheers John | wstirrup | |
22/2/2012 12:53 | Nicd... What's a "troll"? :¬) W. | wstirrup |
