ex the answer of course is to create volatility which all traders love.

I have been shorting UK banks for all of 2011 and made more than my investing over the last five years. Even if they do not have exposure to Greek debt it will still fall at least 30% on the day Greece goes bankrupt.

I think that is probably right as the whole banking sector will get hit, but the 'safe' ones should bounce back pretty quickly, imo.

ask ladbrooke for odds on greece being allowed to be kicked out of the eu. never assume find out first.

Greece problems will drag Indices and stocks down yet again at opening.

Lloyds Red or Black, My money is on red.

EOD - Black

The more things stay the same the less it changes.

BNP Paribas downgrades Lloyds Banking from neutral to underperform, target price cut from 45p to 30p.

BNP Paribas downgrades Barclays from outperform to neutral, target price cut from 320p to 195p.

BNP Paribas upgrades HSBC from neutral to outperform, target price raised from 700p to 725p.

bernie BNP downgrading british banks with little or no exposure to greece what a laugh, pot and kettle spring to mind. this is really like a carry on comedy,.... keep de-ramping!
