        The rumors were about HBOS, it shares plunged but have recovered a bit now. They denied any liquidity problems, but didn't mention if they might have some solvency problems

            I was at HBOS treasury for 6 months - I just asked my mate there who said all is fine.

            I expect many more threads like this.

            Of course make enough predictions and some well come try - but don't tell Nicky G that...

                  They have canned a couple of big IT projects in the last few days, but that's probably rife accross the FS industry ATM.

                  Give it 6 months, Mad Max scenario, I have a motorcycle and a shotgun and lots of fuel. Time to start buying tinned beans in bulk.

                    Attention anyone with money in the bank

                    You might want to look at this and then pop down the highstreet at lunchtime.
