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.

Robert Peston -BBC- has said Lloyds and HBOS are in merger talks. This guy is the one who gave early warning about Northern Rock and wouldn't make such a statement on the BBC without due thought. He is one clever chap and has impeccable sources. He will be spot on. Brilliant.

If true that could create some "systemic risk" to any hedge funds short at the moment.... LOL.

I hope so, greedy gits

CNBC say the bid is around 300p

spitfire43 - 17 Sep 2008 09:46 - 55 of 569

Why would lloy pay 300p when they could have picked up shares for half that.

BBC saying that the hedge funds are acting in packs and bringing down companies as and when they feel like it. Who are they going to attack next? Saying FSA need to bring in regulation now but knowing their ineptitude, I shouldn't hold your breath.

In the open market they can only buy 4% before they have to declare interest - then the sahre price will rocket on take over talks anyway

This is great entertainment....one bunch of hedge funds wiping out another bunch of hedge funds... Crazy markets..... :-)

In my opinion.

With a bit of luck they'll all go tits up and leave the way free for us experts lol

cynic - 17 Sep 2008 13:10 - 61 of 569

have been out all morning, but what an unbelievable big-dipper both with HBOS and the markets in general ...... i foolishly, with hindsight, bought too early, but should end up with a good profit at the end of the day

Strawbs - 17 Sep 2008 13:43 - 62 of 569

Be interesting to see the terms of the deal. I hope they haven't just created a bigger target for the hedgies.....

In my opinion.

Totally gutted today - only just got in to play!! 88p at the low, you must have been mental not to snap them up below a pound.

nordcaperen - 17 Sep 2008 13:58 - 64 of 569

Just read the news that Lloyds are in negotiation to buy out HBOS, like to know what the offer is !!

cynic - 17 Sep 2008 14:01 - 65 of 569

rumour is 300

nordcaperen - 17 Sep 2008 14:02 - 66 of 569

2.75p all share offer - I can live with that

spitfire43 - 17 Sep 2008 14:06 - 67 of 569

I believe the 300p was a unsubstantiated price by a BBC reporter this morning, 200p or less might be nearer.

cynic - 17 Sep 2008 14:10 - 68 of 569

all will be revealed in due course ..... only stumbling block may be the over-sized mortgage book the combined will create, so may be required to spin that part off.

anyway, with sp in backwardation yet again at 152/125, but perhaps quite well below 200 again, could be worth a dabble

amardev - 17 Sep 2008 14:56 - 69 of 569

Hi Cynic ..............

Good to hear from you and see you back in action.

Your thoughts always appreciated.

Be lucky
Amar
