Today they have fallen 22% to a new low of 223p ..are they another Marconi..?
The chart looks like one long suicide note.

Banks seem to have imploded bought lloyds at 218 and hbos at 167 probably too early

total arseholes this gov't may be, but they will not allow either RBS or BARC to collapse ..... therefore, quite good argument that bank shares in general will bounce, though perhaps not these two ..... betting the financial sector as a whole (hope not hole!) could be the safer way to act

Ahh, the market Guru Hlyeo offering advice to Cynic - haven't stopped laughing since I read that comment :-)

good morning Peter .... guess you must be back to the cold and wet and wind shortly ..... lovely golfing weather! ..... i shall now own up and admit i bought further at 135 for it is a racing certainty that rates will be cut and even more certain that neither RBS not BARC will be allowed to collapse

Yes indeed Ricardo, not long to go now, hope the weather improves but I doubt it will. Good luck with the HBOS trade(s).

am pretty confident they will come good ...... banks in general have suddenly recovered sharply, though HBOS is lagging badly despite LLOY being much improved from its low

Now it's the time to buy at 123p

Can't blame the short sellers this time. It is good they are locked out otherwise I think they would have further destroyed SP of many banks yesterday, and today.

just got in - missed all the action it seems !! Bloody hell, what can go wrong from here !!!
Cynic - I reckon if Lloyds tried renegotiating HBOS deal, we would have a complete meltdown on banking stocks - were near enough there as it is !! Its just a case of picking WHEN to jump in - wish I could call it right for once !!

strange that HBOS has been hit much harder than LLOY who are actually the ones said to be looking for gov't money!

Maybe they have had a run on savings accounts being closed as I have done today with Birmingham Midshires.

If the short sellers weren't locked out it would be like Mad Max 3 out there !!!! The Country is on its arse - along with a few others ! Its mental, and there seems like there is nothing thats going to change it - think we better declare war on North Korea or Russia to get us out of this mess.

not at all ..... LLOY is currently 222, so even if the conversion is dropped to 0.6 = 133 for HBOS
