Top faller in the Banking sector today with a 25% fall are they about to go bust as the housing market stalls .. are they another Northern Rock failure about to blow.

Just scare mongering from Nrk experience only difference is they are not in debt. Should rebound tomorrow. No doubt shorters were having a laugh today, but they better to watch out tomorrow though IMO. I may buy. 21p divi/NRK - nil that the difference.

A petition is underway it seems:

Petition

We call on the FSA to investigate whether Steven Crawshaw, the CEO of the Bradford & Bingley, has committed Market Abuse

In March, when bear raiders spread false rumours that banks were planning rights issues, the banks and the FSA said this was market abuse as investors had as a result trades shares on the basis of falsehood. On 14th April Bradford & Bingley said it was NOT planning a rights issue. Investors buying shares on that basis paid 165p.

On 18th of May a deeply discounted rights issue was announced. The shares trade at 115p. Investors have lost 30% in just 1 month because they bought shares on the basis of the B&B statement. We believe the FSA should investigate Steven Crawshaw, the B&B CEO whose package in 2007 was a staggering 1,112,548, to determine whether he and his board are guilty of market abuse.

BB is looking a bit sad so is my AL. I got out of bb feeling a bit done after it went to 500p+ buy or not to buy could this be another N/Rock.

online trading platforms so tricky to use - i thought i had bought yesterday but infact had sold shares i didnt have. never mind, sorted it out this morning... im in now at 34p

you know if you want to throw your money away, you could always give it to me to invest..

Anyway Mr Magoo,at least you have a legitimate excuse in your name.
Anyone fancy buying onel of B&bs bonds ?They offer 7%.

i thinkyou will find anyone saying there shares r worth 0pence have there own agenda i do not see the government allowing banks and builders to fail it would be catastrophic for them

funny - my account has gone up 2k... thats nice, my broker do look after me :)

I bought these ages ago at 1.65. Can't believe how far they have fallen :)

I see that the 2 underwriters for the rights issue have sub underwriters, namely all the other british banks....looks like they may be looking after one of their own :)

and if you read the press this am, taking heavy losses if the sp stays under the rights price.

400m is more than you need in a bank of this size... i remember lloyds, midland and natwest doing rights issues of this size in the 1970s but they are much bigger banks. this is really just a building society

you will be surprised
