Anyway Mr Magoo,at least you have a legitimate excuse in your name.
Anyone fancy buying onel of B&bs bonds ?They offer 7%.

i thinkyou will find anyone saying there shares r worth 0pence have there own agenda i do not see the government allowing banks and builders to fail it would be catastrophic for them

Mr Magoo - 08 Jul 2008 14:08 - 19 of 132

funny - my account has gone up 2k... thats nice, my broker do look after me :)

I bought these ages ago at 1.65. Can't believe how far they have fallen :)

I see that the 2 underwriters for the rights issue have sub underwriters, namely all the other british banks....looks like they may be looking after one of their own :)

dealerdear - 08 Jul 2008 15:12 - 21 of 132

and if you read the press this am, taking heavy losses if the sp stays under the rights price.

Mr Magoo - 08 Jul 2008 15:36 - 22 of 132

400m is more than you need in a bank of this size... i remember lloyds, midland and natwest doing rights issues of this size in the 1970s but they are much bigger banks. this is really just a building society

Mr Magoo - 09 Jul 2008 10:37 - 23 of 132

you will be surprised

BAYLIS - 09 Jul 2008 13:19 - 24 of 132

Mr Magoo What was the recession like in 1973/4 and when did Banks recover, cheers.

prodman - 09 Jul 2008 21:02 - 25 of 132

baylis - It's no good asking Mr Magoo, the last time I saw him he was talking to a coat stand. :-)

chessplayer - 10 Jul 2008 20:24 - 26 of 132

Were there 2 hats hanging on that coat stand?

explosive - 10 Jul 2008 20:53 - 27 of 132

Holding lots of these and buying on the lows, ok so your looking at a fall in yield sooner or later but the companies intangables are worth the market cap. Also the BoE and government have promised assistane if needed shown with NRK. Big over reaction in the market at the moment which I see as oppertunity. Each to their own though.

Mr Magoo - 11 Jul 2008 00:00 - 28 of 132

these markets are very easy to understand - just buy up shares when they are cheap and sell them when they are expensive

Mr Magoo - 11 Jul 2008 15:52 - 29 of 132

took my profits - 48 is not my lucky number

scotinvestor - 14 Jul 2008 09:23 - 30 of 132

hey mitxy........you 20p target looks knackered......it can only go one way u say.....is that up?

mitzy - 14 Jul 2008 09:27 - 31 of 132

I thought you would say that never mind you cant win them all

Rift oil is going great today so no problems.

scotinvestor - 14 Jul 2008 09:39 - 32 of 132

if u shorted it then serves u right

Mr Magoo - 15 Jul 2008 15:11 - 33 of 132

48 always brings bad news

Mr Magoo - 16 Jul 2008 14:35 - 34 of 132

why cant these move away from 48p

pcyam - 21 Jul 2008 22:18 - 35 of 132

sorry new to the site, just wondering if BB are a good buy when they are trading as low as 55p, and advice would be great. thanks
