    Its lucky its a bank rather then a ship then.

    Ill let you into a little secret, banks take peoples money and charge other people for using it. Giving both the bank and the saver a cut. Shhh, dont tell anybody ;-)
    You mean like Bear Stearns and Northern Rock used to do??!! :beer: Whatever happened to them I wonder

    My dad said about his Northern Rock shares - when they were trading at around £2... "can't afford to sell now.. they are worth so much more".

    Doesn't anyone else find it strange when banks come asking shareholders for money ... but not for expansion / acquisition ... but merely to keep trading / liquidity. ?

    I am glad that I sold mine.

    Thank God I managed to sell a month ago. Bradford and Bingley shares down another 8% today! I hope everyone has managed to bale out of these before their shares are totally worthless. :rolleyes:

    Going down...

    There are other organisations that are going through this as well. Its not just these shares that are going down.

    Are their ISAs safe?
    I'm stressed enough over this - please don't add to it.:eek: :cry:

    Keep up young man ;)

    The shares used to be about £5, now they're more like £1! And you say nothing's wrong:eek: They need to go up about 400% to get back where they were. These will be penny shares soon enough.
