They'll always find something to keep us depressed, won't they! :-)

"A sudden jump in carbon prices coupled with floods and droughts this year would lead to losses of at least €70bn for the eurozone's largest banks, the European Central Bank said."

Just 220,000 new personal accounts have been opened so far this year, despite the impending closure of around one million bank accounts in the coming months due to the departures of Ulster Bank and KBC from the Irish market, new figures show.

STP... good article, thanks for posting it.

Radar... in fairness there was a lot more going on then (will the bank even survive, rights issues, etc.)... but of course it's also true there were fewer green boxes needed to keep an even keel. :-)

ashton... I got mine too. That's it, I can retire now! :-)

Paddow... not yet. I was supposed to be paid out on the 14th. I guess they need that extra interest on it! :-)

So, everyone feeling rich today! :-)

Howth1... you must be a very optimistic guy if a 5 cent dividend can be seen as a bright side! :-) Only kiddin'... better than nothing for sure but I still think it's a p***-poor yield.

That's me f***ed then! :-)

"Older people could have access to their bank accounts stopped by a teller, under “terrifying” new legislation being rushed by the Government."

... but business dented as costs rise.
Is this news any good to us? I don't know. We seem a bit range-bound at the moment.

I seen the article already. TBH, I always take any big pronouncement like that with a grain of salt. It's a bit like the 'perma-bears'... they may get it right one time, or eventually, but you'd have missed out on a lot of wins if you'd taken them seriously right from the start. Just my 2 cents.

@observe2... I was around in the good ol' days and then the board got taken over by lunatics. I used to pop back in every now and then, mostly for a laugh. Then someone suggested filtering the stuff you don't want. That did the trick alright. So now, for me at least, it feels a bit normal again (I can live with the multiple green boxes.) :-)

Irish banking is facing a new mess where customers are the perpetual losers as Ulster Bank and KBC exit and the big two tighten their hold on our money.

@StickyToffeePudd... they're just trying to scare us into selling our shares. Don't fall for it! :-)

... there's always something, isn't there (to keep the s/p down).

Brugel: the dividend is a measly 5 cents.

"when did you ever see a Gov sell there holding at the top of a run"

There's some comfort in that statement alright! :-)
