HBOS are they worth 49p (HBOS)     

mitzy - 15 Sep 2008 11:16

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

Chart.aspx?Provider=EODIntra&Code=HBOS&S

The chart looks like one long suicide note.

HBOS are issuing 1 additional share for every 38.2207578 held in lieu of the 2008 interim div. Ex-entitlement date was 1.10.08. Issue date around 6.10.08.

read earlier post.

dealerdear - 03 Oct 2008 12:03 - 344 of 569

Wells Fargo and Wachovia agree to merge which might explain this upside.

cynic - 03 Oct 2008 12:22 - 345 of 569

thoght Wachovia was taken out several days ago by JP Morgan

dealerdear - 03 Oct 2008 12:24 - 346 of 569

apparently not

cynic - 03 Oct 2008 12:32 - 347 of 569

as you said ..... just pulled from cnnfn.com site ...... AIG: keeping core property, casualty insurance business and seeking buyers for other units. Wells Fargo, Wachovia to merge.

Falcothou - 03 Oct 2008 12:36 - 348 of 569

Also BOE collaterol auctions opened up

hlyeo98 - 03 Oct 2008 16:03 - 349 of 569

I think it is a good time to let go at 202p before the weekend as anything can happen. Market too volatile.

cynic - 03 Oct 2008 16:11 - 350 of 569

taking a profit cannot be wrong and i have just closed another 50% of my holding at 200 .... if i wanted to play that game, i think the last portion actually stands me in at zero

nordcaperen - 03 Oct 2008 16:12 - 351 of 569

I sold at 1.97 - thinking should I get back in ?????? First Hurdle been passed in America, so should be done and dusted tonite ....... or will it !! choices,choices :-) Playing with profits, but still dont like losing, see nearer end of day (20 mins)

cynic - 03 Oct 2008 16:17 - 352 of 569

no .... work out the upside potential, so prob getting a bit tight ..... good chance that Dow will boil over after the initial surge following the (positive) vote, so cheaper way in may be tomorow morning if you so wish.

just noticed i obviously qualified for 393 freebies .... lovely jubbly! = an additional profit of near enough 800

nordcaperen - 03 Oct 2008 16:20 - 353 of 569

hows that cynic - (the freebies) - what have i missed

nordcaperen - 03 Oct 2008 16:26 - 354 of 569

Sod it - back in at 2.00, I still think they should be nearer 2.40 mark so upside potential is huge, probably that'll be the kiss of death!! But in for a penny in for two pound !

cynic - 03 Oct 2008 16:34 - 355 of 569

apparently free share issue on 1st October in lieu of dividend .... i failed to notice.

post auction price tonight = 191.80, so it'll be interesting to see at what price it opens tomorrow


whoops! ..... in all today's excitement, i forgot tomorrow was saturday!

nordcaperen - 03 Oct 2008 16:37 - 356 of 569

Where is the free share offer in lieu reported - I didnt see it ??
knew it would be kiss of death if i jumped in!! Still confident of a rise though next week

maestro - 03 Oct 2008 16:41 - 357 of 569

rumour that lloyds is pulling out...could open sub 100p monday

cynic - 03 Oct 2008 16:41 - 358 of 569

an interesting little calc for you all .....
at tonight's close, LLOY was 290 and HBOS 192.
if the offer stays at 0.83, then the conversion is 241
if the offer is dropped to 0.61, then the conversion is 177

Optimist - 03 Oct 2008 16:42 - 359 of 569

Cynic

They are still in auction. It lookslike the price will be closer to 2.

skinny - 03 Oct 2008 16:46 - 360 of 569

Yep - out of auction @200.5

nordcaperen - 03 Oct 2008 16:46 - 361 of 569

rumour that ING are in the running with Santander ........ could open 400p Monday
throw a dart at the horses running tomorrow and back the one it hits - about as much chance of predicting these markets :-)
