    Oh dear,there really is no need for that sort of post is there, using words such as nutter,saddo and then making remarks such as get a job just goes to prove that you are nothing more than a trouble making busy body who feels the need to throw your rattle out of your pram just because you dont like a thread.
    I can't see any posts on here aimed at degrading people,that was until i read yours, perhaps in future you should consider what you are going to post,because there was certainly no reason for you to make personal remarks such as you have ;)
    Not to worry. Earl Grey has obviously done his conkers buying bank shares in the vain hope they'd shoot up again. I feel your pain Earl Grey :rotfl:

    I've both bought and sold bank shares in recent weeks (though not specifically HBOS) and done very nicely from the volatility thank you. :)

    As I seem to remember that setmefree said he had never owned any shares he is presumably unaware that there's money to be made both in rising and falling markets.

    Which is why he will probably end up as impoverished as he is now and still thinking the whole world has been unfair to him, and especially the banks he's evidently so upset by. (Wish he'd get a job though though and a life to go with it.)

    Bradford and Bingley shares finish down 18% today

    Alliance and Leicester shares finish down 13.5% today.

    Total carnage. Poor old Earl grey, he'll be begging on some street corner soon enough. :j

    Has earlgrey never heard of Internet at work :rotfl:, so sad that a parasite gloats over the fact that they have made a profit in buying shares through a volatile market.
    Perhaps earlgrey should remember the fact that without public funding the Financial market would have been dead and buried and that there would have been no profit to be made.
    As for getting a life,i donate on a regular basis to those less fortunate in third world countries, this in turn gives me a good feel factor, perhaps earlgrey would like to do the same with the profits he/she makes out of shares..

    I doubt if he ever held a share in his life. He probably still lives with his old mum in a council house. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

    i wouldn't buy a share,never have,never will.
    So no home of your own, no money to invest and presumably don't even have a pension in which you own shares indirectly. No wonder you're screwed up.

    So tell us what happened in your sad life? Did you try to buy a crumby little terrace in some god-forsaken town, welched on the payments, and the bank took it back? Good. Would have hoped you'd have learned a valuable lesson but apparently has taught you nothing.

    If shares go down to a point where I can can make a profit then I'll buy from those who want to sell. Most of those are likely to be the small-fry with just a handleful of shares frightened by it all which is sad. That's not my doing but scare-mongerers like you do have your uses, so thanks. :)

    And sorry, I'm not swapping boasts with a loser about what he gives to charity. You are fortunate to live in one of the most prosperous countries in the world and you still can't succeed. A prosperity built on the investments of people like me while you do nothing but live off it. If you spent more time getting yourself a decent job you'd have a house, money to invest, and a lot more wealth to share with those who have never had the opportunities wasted on you.

    . .

    Now this is obviously the words of a person who believes the world owes them a favour, firstly i have never had a mortgage so thats your theory of welching gone out of the window, secondly your wise words of learning a valuable lesson,well perhaps if the Banking industry had used their brains and not the greed factor they would not have to been bailed out by us the tax payer ;), as for your remarks of making something of my life well i do well thank you very much.
    Now with regards to those who are poor, these people pay tax, these same people have had to bail out the financial institutes with their hard earned money(public funds) these same people live in council houses,some of them are up to their necks in debt.
    so lets now look at the truth is it, before you earlgrey start making judgements about others,perhaps you would like to take your head out of your butt and realise that without the financial banking of the tax payer regardless of their status,this country regarding the Banking industry would collapse.
    I can only hope that your negative views jump out and bite you in the butt, because you my friend are the only one in desperate need of help.;)
