Lets not get started on politics....

it amuses me greatly to hear RAB squawking that it is unfair to the shareholders - aka them! - if they do their bollox! ...... oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! ...... so this bunch of so-called professionals looks likely to have chucked 80m down the drain ...... i cannot believe the incompetence of these guys; similar happened with Barclays and BFC just before that went into receivership ..... the rest of the world knew it was going to happen, but they knew better - didn't they just!

The difference is Barclays ended up owning BFC (for what its worth) and RAB will end up with 80m of wallpaper.

Off topic again, when are they going to award Tony Blair the best actor of the last 10 years, for his role in the film ' Britain, a country betrayed '

cynic - 24 Nov 2007 14:29 - 886 of 1029

and i bet Barclays did too!

I think that NRK will be having a Kamikaze next week. Be warned. SELL out before it's too late.

I dont think so if they get down to around th 50p mark someone will buy them in the hope that thye will be given a life line, migh be a few pound to be made for the brave and i just migh jump back in with them agin for a very short time.

Certainly must be serious as it's even reported in Tehran Times now:

http://www.tehrantimes.com/index_View.asp?code=157808

"A Guardian investigation showing that more than 70% of the beleaguered firm's mortgages were owned by a Jersey-based offshore company further dented confidence in the bank's ability to attract a bidder prepared to pay the current value."

Mojo - you might make enough to take some typing lessons. You never know.

mitzy - 25 Nov 2007 17:16 - 891 of 1029

thye will be less than 50p tommorow..

hlyeo98 - 25 Nov 2007 18:15 - 892 of 1029

I think it will fall between 20-40p.

cynic - 25 Nov 2007 18:26 - 893 of 1029

it will be interesting to see if NRK can be shorted ..... very much doubt it, but shall prob try

survived87 - 25 Nov 2007 18:27 - 894 of 1029

interesting point of view on NRK from north of the border:-

"It has been a prime takeover target for a decade, without a single bid being launched. If no one wanted to buy it when it purported to be a dynamic and growing business, why would anyone risk good money on the car wreck it has become? "

alright blackdown dont you know no one likes a smart arse

survived87 - 25 Nov 2007 19:55 - 896 of 1029

>no one likes a smart arse

or a NRK Director.....

mojo47 - 25 Nov 2007 19:56 - 897 of 1029

yes it might have been a bit expensive up untill the last few months and that makes it a good time for someone to sit back and wait for it to hit the very bottom and you watch someone will jump in and get it for peanuts

Virgin will launch a deeply discounted share placing that would value Northern Rock shares at between 20 pence and 40 pence each if its offer is accepted, the Sunday Times newspaper said. The shares closed at 85.9p on Friday.

Funny prices. Never seen a bid like this. See http://uk.biz.yahoo.com/25112007/325/northern-rock-name-preferred-bidder.html
