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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

not sure they are floating around the 170 mark... i think it's a risky business

Cynic - if Lloyds are in advanced talks (first we've heard from yesterday) when do you think they'll make announcement of offer - do you think it would be sometime after close or a few days ?? I'm back in in at 1.63p cant see it falling lower than 1.60ish , but can see it flying on a an offer.

Bloomberg reckoned it may be tomorrow but judging by the sp, people obviously don't believe that.
