Will have to see with what happens in US before we have any idea of how banks are going to recover. Share value will rise fairly quickly when signs of recovery. But could be a long time before bank shares are anywhere near previous values of a year ago. If money to gamble with then buy in now, or wait and buy in while they are rising.

Would depend on what price bought in at.... Mine are no where near 80 odd % loss down aound 8%. But are a lot of glass half full or half empty opinions. I'd say most people buying in now are aware it's a calculated risk.

How did you know my loss???

Actually I bought at 450p early last year (along with M&S and BT, class eh?) and managed to lose about 66% until I sold last week with Lloyds at about 105p, following the rebound from 50p (given the RBS and Barclays issues) and am now very glad I did.
Given I have lost £2000 in a about a year I will stick to regular savings into trusts so I can think longer term and benefit from pound cost averaging.

Also I found that holding individual stocks makes you go nuts checking prices, and its not fun staring at a major loss. Am much happier now

Sorry to hear about your loss Cozworth806, not good.

I'm fortunate that I bought at a level where I can appreciate the thrill of the game - that said, let's see where I am in a years time

To everyone else...as my favourite shrunken head says..."take it away Ernie, it's going to be a bumpy ride"

Glad I didn't take a punt at Lloyds - one of the worse performing companies on FTSE index 100 today.

Bought Legal & General shares earlier on instead - have already made a small profit in the last four hours of trading.
