    The chickens are coming home to roost.

    HBOS shares plummet 13% so far today to 30 pence below rights issue level

    Who was it that said to take up the rights issue?

    And who was the joker that said these shares would £6 or £7 soon enough?

    They'll be lying low today

    Regardless of share price, the country is now in such a financial mess that there is no longer the money for further bail outs.

    So it's now just a waiting game before the next Banking institution goes pop.

    In all honesty, what would you say to someone who has well over £35K in savings with Halifax? Should they be panicking?

    The market must know something we don't.

    HBOS is down 33%, that's twice as much as any other bank shares.
