HBOS shares

Hbos shares will be replaced so your friend is roughly right, 2.32 thats all you need to remember. If you got them at 10 pounds its not a good day but its not zero

What about Howard from the halifax. Is he going to get the boot?

He got the boot last month. I reckon they should have kept him on as mascot for the new LloydsTSBHBoS

The price of shares can go down as well as up. If you think they'll go up then buy!

If the shares were bought before 9am this morning, you could have got them for under a pound. Now they are worth £1.44. But at 9.30am it would have been quite a gamble. By 11am when the news was out about the merger it heading towards £1.50. I'd imagine they will shoot up in the morning.

But will Lloyds drop because they are overpaying?

I would doubt it. This is about to become the biggest bank in the UK with a 3rd of the mortgage market and a vast amount in retail savings.

Hi, I'm new to this forum.

Have 800 shares in HBOS. I understand HBOS is now ripe for a buy out by a bigger financial institute due to the fall in value of some £4b. If this was to occur, what would happen to my shares in HBOS?? Would I completely lose all of my holding.

Should I sell now or wait for the price to recover, thats if HBOS doesn't follow Leiman Brothers??

Julian you should post more often, seems you guessed better then me:T

At 232 HBOS is undervalued and Lloyds are getting it at bargain basement prices.

Should we hold or immediately sell our new Lloyds shares then ?

Lastest news this morning:

''Under the terms of the deal, which must be agreed by investors, HBOS shareholders will receive 0.83 Lloyds shares for every HBOS share. ''

I wont be seeling my HBOS shares after all then.
