I hope not considering how many people here work for HBOS, it's by far the largest employer in Halifax.
No view on how financially sound they are as I'm out of touch with their economic status.
I doubt any of the UK banks are doing well in share price terms for obvious reasons. -
Any particular reason for suggesting this? Or is it along the lines of "Subject I Picked at Random - Discuss?"
If so, we already have the Daily Mail for the purpose of inciting meaningless panic about non-stories for the sake of gaining some attentionComment

They may have to raise up to 200 Billion quite soon on money markets(Northern Rock had to go to the BofE for similar reasons after those markets had dried up) to roll over loans and without BofE help they may well struggle. Time will tell, but it is much easier to get loans from the BofE now!!Comment

I think HBOS are subject to a ridiculous amount of unfounded rumour.
The underlying facts are somewhat different.

And where did you get that 200 yard guesstimate? I call BS."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Although am not sure its going to be HBOS, but must admit we've seen the trend before, one giant fall, others will follow, not necessarily another banking giant, but you never know.Comment
