logic for buying HBOS was as follows ......
HBOS down 25% compared to LLOY doen 18% ..... differenetial was greater eariler.
LLOY currently 272, so on original terms of 0.83, conversion = 226
If terms dropped to the mooted 0.60, then conversion = 163
I bought (this time) at 173

Good luck guys. Got to give credit to the Yanks at least they are trying to get things going, pity Brown is not doing much for us Brits.

exactly that ..... hats off to Bernanke who said several months ago that one of the main causes of The Depression was inaction by central gov't and that he would not allow that mistake again

Enter Le Trichet head buried in sand. It is interesting that the fear is about 300 times greater now at 10,000 than it was at 14,000 last Summer, admittedly since certain things have come to light...

Lets hope Brown has something good to say at 15.30 otherwise I think FTSE will have a bigger fall than 300 points
