Co-operative Group, the ultimate parent of The Co-operative Bank, has confirmed that it intends this week to submit a second round bid for 632 branches being sold by Lloyds Banking Group.

Lloyds is being forced to sell the branches under European Commission competition rules.

The Co-op merged its banking division with Britannia Building Society in 2009 which increased the number of its high street branches to 342.

Harry - I saw the RNS earlier - I'm not sure if its a good move or not.

indeed - guys in lloy are split - old timers (the ones that are left lol!) want to set up a seperate stock market company - ho's boys prefer a sale of all the branches - LOL - either way they have to go in some shape or form

ISDA estimated that as much as 90% of exposure to Greece's debt might be collateralized. If so, the maximum loss related to a Greek default will be about $350 million, much less than previously estimated

Weve wondered out loud before about the euro zones obsession with not triggering payouts on credit default swaps, noting the maximum losses relating to a default on Greeces $480 billion of debt amounted to $1.85 billion. In fact, it could be even less than that: about $350 million. Thats because a significant proportion of that net exposure is secured with collateral.

This detail can be found here in a post from the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, which estimates up to 90% of the total exposure could be collateralized.

Of course, its in ISDAs interest to minimize the prospects for disruption arising from the CDS market. But its estimate further reinforces the mystery surrounding the euro zones obsession with not triggering payouts on this form of bond insurance, even as it mulls creation of its own bond insurance through the European Financial Stability Facility.

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

i would not wanna be outta lloy tonight!!!!!! lol

.

doubled up

Gibby - see post 3162 :-)

Not that I'm really smiling having topped up @ 29.15 last week. Here's hoping your optimism isn't misplaced.

Let's see what Tuesday brings 

Opening lower I would guess.

day of reckoning tomorrow - gla

keep a special eye tomorrow on any impairments - acceptable is around 2.6B or less for the quarter - total income preferred not under 4.45B for the quarter - other major interests expected are how lloy will address current market conditions particulary delevaraging and issues of funding - a piece of cake :-)))))
