  • where can I watch shares and their live trading price?
  • You could buy one share and watch its value that way, halifax and selftrade let you do that
  • Buying B&B shares would be nothing more than a pure gamble. This time next month there may not be any B&B shares to buy or sell!

    Can you reccoment a good website where you can buy/sell shares etc?
    Also if they are saved by the governement would their shares still be "active"?

    i would presume the government would cease all shares as per northen rock.

    I wrote to the CEO on Tuesday, got a letter back the next day to say the B & B has 52b in assetts, and that the bank was in a good financial position and all my savings are perfectly safe, so on that basis I removed savings out leaving a level just below the FSA gaurantee level
