Today they have fallen 22% to a new low of 223p ..are they another Marconi..?



The chart looks like one long suicide note.

Without wanting to rock the boat .....correct me if I'm wrong but the Isle of man has a weird status.....I'm not sure if it is part of the UK or even part of the EC.....I do know that it only pays 10% tax, that's why so many hedge funds and banks are based there; (ref 216).

I've never been to Scotland in my life but they say its gruesome.

where do u come from mitzy.......your credibility on this has been shattered for life......49p but by end of week almost 5 times the price.

uk will be bankrupt soon........just scottish oil thats subsidising england and all my illegal immigrants down there

so hornby is getting 2 million quid in shares...........unbelievable, sickening and obscene.........this man (if u can call him that) should be hung drawn and quartered for bringing down a profitable bank lasting more than 300 years......oh yeah, it was stupid yorkshire building society full of numpties on the board with no banking experience.
whole HBOS board should be in jail..........if we had someone like stalin who was a real leader and best project manager, this would never had happened.

about time we became communist in this country

i bet u aint got a clue where scotland is mitzy from your hysterical comments

EDITED MoneyAM

Never been there and not likely too... whare the hell is it..?

its on top of england

where do u come from mitzy.......sounds as though u were educated in some tin pot nation......r u one of those illegal immigrants

u wouldnt be allowed in mitzy.......we'd smell u before we saw u i bet

I know one scot guy David Duffus.. do you know him.

I think I have been to Scotland once, a place called Skegness.

Mitzy do not take any notice of the Scotsman. The Scots men must be a little weak as my Scottish wife had to come south to find a real Englishman.They also export real idiots like the PM and Chancellor not to mention the Sec for Defence who send our guys to war with limited equipment.
Their greatest asset is malt whiskey.

lol colin..

Edited MoneyAM

your wife left as most scots r cos of all the english dross coming to live here......the more english we have here, the more the scots leave

Mitzy - I've just read through your posts, everyone is doom and gloom on every share you ever mention - are you a total pessimist or just tryin to get everyone to follow your shorts - Little advice , dont try shorting financials - your nt allowed (Shame Really = You could make abundle on Barc.this week) :-)

Oh Forgot - Kcom, 15% rise on this week - hate them myself but got to back a cert when its there !! More fun with financials for a few days but trust me on this one !
