any comments, thoughts, on this stock.

Theres too much doom and gloom , the government has made it clear it has no intention of letting it go under and there is no reason why the current management can't sell out to a bigger bank with access to lower rate funds who could run their book at a profit.

DYOR , shares can go up as well as down.

Fill yer boots.

damn fool if you do! ..... investors may be protected but the shareholders, quite rightly, are not ...... how much is NRK worth? ..... prob <300 is my guess, and it is no more than that

Fed has cut by 50 points

Here is the first spanner.

Northern Rock set to draw upon Bank of England lifeline

Dil - 19 Sep 2007 08:04 - 175 of 1029

Already priced in seawalker.

stay out if you don't already hold ..... NRK may not be going to zero, but if you think someone is going to pay significantly over the odds (current price or more) then you could be in for another nasty shock .... meanwhile, there will be heavy bear covering i expect

seawallwalker - 19 Sep 2007 08:45 - 177 of 1029

Yes Dil, I was aware.......... poor choice of words

Kayak - 19 Sep 2007 09:02 - 178 of 1029

Short here, really can't see it.

cynic - 19 Sep 2007 09:10 - 179 of 1029

??????????
do you mean you cannot see shorting of NRK to be profitable at this level?
you may be right; far too difficult to call, but certainly no good reason to buy either!

Dil - 19 Sep 2007 09:13 - 180 of 1029

Been short , been long but now no position.

Kayak - 19 Sep 2007 09:16 - 181 of 1029

No I meant I'm short and I can't see it going up.

chocolat - 19 Sep 2007 09:21 - 182 of 1029

There's also this for anyone who hasn't seen it

The European Commission has requested information from the British authorities over the government bail-out of Northern Rock, concerned that it could violate EU state aid laws if support leads to distortion of the banking market.

Bank bail-out may breach EU competition laws

Any point in holding on to these at current levels for the divi. or will this enevitably require to be slashed in view of s.p. collapse. ? Regards.

richardbees - 19 Sep 2007 10:03 - 184 of 1029

Darling won't pay the divi !!

Kayak - 19 Sep 2007 10:04 - 185 of 1029

Last thing a company that has no money does is pay a dividend.

Speaking of going down, what happened there!

cynic - 19 Sep 2007 10:18 - 186 of 1029

quite right too Kayak, as current price shows

oilyrag - 19 Sep 2007 10:19 - 187 of 1029

When Carter & Carter dropper from grace it fell from 1100p to 40p. Is this going to repeat that? Its difficult to see the bottom, I'm not a holder just an interested bystander.
