    Personally I would still see banks as high risk at the moment, I believe there are plenty more write downs to come, and they will likely require significantly more capital injections in the future which will further dilute shareholder value. Share prices can still fall much farther than you think.
    Hope for the best.....Plan for the worst!

    HBOS......good time to buy or not??????

    Yes / No !!
    Probably!

    I haven't got the bottle myself.

    And don't forget that you will get 0.605 Lloyds shares for each HBOS share on 19th January.

    Unless HBOS shareholders commit suicide in the vote on 12th December.
