Not sure all the joy and hilarity at the problems of B & B are wholly appropriate. Almost get the feeling that a lot of bored souls with too much time on their hands would delight in seeing another bank fold.

Let's remember there are real jobs at stake here as well as very small shareholders often with only 250 shares. Not a lot of money but important to them. Let us all know where you work so we can all have a laugh when your company goes under.

Forgive me for being young and financially naive, but surely they can't go that much lower, and the government wouldn't let it collapse, I presume.

So aren't we looking at a reasonable opportunity for long term investment? I remember Nothern Rock shares doubling (If I recall correctly) when the chancellors bail out plan was announced.

Just curious.

And let me remind you that US the tax payer have already bailed the banking industry out to the tune of £80 billion,and shareholders knew the risk when they invested, the same answer giving by the Banks when a person loses their house..you knew the risks
As for Companies going under you can aim your remark to the banking industry, the same industry that has taken many small companies out of business with their charges;)

Perhaps some of us are B+B small shareholders trying to put a bright face on another crumbling shareholding value.

Good news at last , the shares have tanked so badly that the dividend yield on Bradford and Bingley shares is now a whopping 23%!! And that's after tax!

Div Yield = 23.2%


You'd be lucky to get 7% in a bank. Surely the shrewdies should now begging, borrowing and stealing and piling in and buying as many B+B shares as they can get their hands on! Or have I missed something
