Bale,

I am using SBs and can always re-enter when the market decides. There is usually something in the market worth a punt.

I made a few bob and wished to keep it, but when I bought, I thought I would have sold at a higher price.

Trying not to be as cocksure or greedy.

RSI,

Have you had a bad day again, or is your beer sour.

I would expect, when you are walking down the road and others see you, they cross to the other side of the road to avoid you.

Perhaps, it is just your nature to be offensive.

I wonder why.

Virgin enters UK banking sector08-01-2010 08:36

Richard Branson's Virgin Money has stepped up its plans to move into the UK mortgage and savings market with the acquisition of a private regional lender.

Virgin Money is to pay around 12.3m for Church House Trust and will inject another 37.3m of new capital into the Somerset-based bank. The Financial Services Authority has already approved the deal.

Branson has long been trying to break into the UK retail banking sector. His Virgin empire tried to buy Northern Rock two years ago and recently registered it interest in buying the 'good bank' part of the nationalised lender.

'The Church House Trust business offers us a strong platform for growth. Virgin Money aims to bring simplicity to the UK banking market, which has traditionally been a complex sector,' he said.

Virgin Money chief executive Jayne Anne Gadhia added: 'The financial crisis has tarnished the reputation of many UK banks. Virgin Money will provide a better, different form of banking to its customers, increasing competition in the sector.'

'Our approach to banking is founded on developing a sustainable, savings-based business. We see the acquisition of Church House Trust as a strong and sensible first step in delivering Virgin Money's banking ambition.'

Virgin Money, which operates from Edinburgh, London and Norwich, currently has over 2.5 million customers and offers payment cards, savings and insurance products.

Fred - wouldn't surprise me if the bank has first call on the bones and earns fees in winding up.

Banks warn their growth to be hit in 2010
By Nicholas Paler -- 11 January 2010

The UK's banking sector does not expect the recent upturn in its business to continue in the coming three months as demand from consumers dries up, a survey of the country's financial services sector has revealed.

The latest Confederation of British Industry (CBI) survey on the financial services sector found banks expect the first three months of 2010 to be tough, with no repeat of the growth in business seen at the end of last year.

Business levels will peter out as private individuals - who last quarter supported the sector - do less business.

The CBI said 89% of companies thought a decline in demand would hamper business expansion in 2010, while there are also fears about the impact on businesses from renewed competition and regulation.

But those surveyed believe it is increasingly unlikely there will be another downturn in markets: 58% said there was a low probability of further deterioration, a rise from 49% in the last survey.

Ian McCafferty, the CBI chief economic adviser, said: 'The bounce in financial services activity over the past six months is not expected to last as we enter 2010.

'Firms see their business volumes falling back again, with no further improvement in profitability over the next three months.'

John Hitchins, UK banking leader at PricewaterhousCoopers who helped compile the survey, added: 'The (banking) sector's short term outlook is less encouraging. Activity and revenues are expected to decline over the coming quarter, predictions for demand remain weak and an uncertain regulatory future continues to temper the banks growing confidence with caution.'

From Bloomberg .................

Three cheers for MAM
