Banks.......

Hi all,

With regards to RBS, HBOS, etc, and their rights issues, do people think that Barclays and Lloyds will follow suit. I've got shares in both and not sure what to do.
Cheers, Bill.

    Lloyds and HSBC are unlikely. Barclays could go either way but they wont want to do it and would try other things first. (IMO)

    A+L will almost certainly ask for cash from shareholders.
    Barclays, maybe. Lloyds TSB, almost certainly not.
