Yep American links seem true.

The battle not to let this go blue is on but looks inevitable why the sudden big shift in an hour what’s spooked shorts

You do realise what these posters do who are short or looking for entry. You play right into their hands. They disrupt any decent good chat and turn it sour on purpose. Always best to filter ignore and keep posting facts and educated conversations chaps. Seen it so many times. Notice when matlot turned up today. When it started rising.

The rns said stakeholders. Someone pulled it. Plain and simple. Whether that be as basic as “wtf you doing you know you’ll get better rates” who knows

Its not doomed at all. Everything was all good people were positive. The prospectus shows things improving. The fca aren’t going to ruin a bank again. The board have said q3 will be good. (We already know q3 closed) so they know and all what happened was bonds didn’t go away. But they have months and they will they may even get waved. Talk about major over reaction but that’s what shorts want

Like there was this in FT if you google ok two years ago but this is very attractive as even cheaper now with exchange rates.

Goldman Sachs is looking to expand its retail banking business to the UK, replicating its mass-market offering in the US, as it continues a steady march from Wall Street to Main Street.

The New York-based investment bank began to pivot in the US about 18 months ago, offering high-interest online savings accounts for a deposit of as little as $1. Last October it took a step further by launching Marcus by Goldman, a digital consumer-lending platform that seeks to rival the San Francisco trio of Lending Club, Prosper and SoFi.

What are people’s views on an American bank stepping in with a bid? Not starting anything just wanted to see if people follow my reasoning and thoughts. Bank of America would have been close to things with the prospective and canvassing of the bond.....not suggesting them. An American investment house took over 5% very aggressively in space of 6 weeks. Vernon and his pals obviously American and have connections and finally the weak pound makes this cheap and could offer and American bank a good base and intro properly into the uk.....I know many ya is have been saying everything in uk is far to cheap and will put money into uk businesses etc.

Yeh it tried twice in the morning and then the bots went to work traded out some I got the other day - why let the traders always win. Kept core. Eventually this will breakout over 9. Could be opp to pick some cheap ones up around 770. Doubt 760s would get filled but will see

Nice to see some good buying into close like the 46,000 shares bought five mins before close well over ask at 168.9. Few other decent sized trades again over. Only got my toe in but see what comes up here tomorrow.

Didn’t bank of Ireland have same issue and then raised fine?

No. Many companies have issued updates even before results. Look at boohoo who issued their results yesterday but issued an rns upping guidance two weeks earlier than that.

Sorry don’t believe you as I know who you are all the best good samaritan shorter. What I will point out is the shirt market is rather crowded. Late comers are risking just like those holding now. You’d expect a board update

Bit late to the shorting party aren’t you 4kandkes tim

Dipped my little toe. Ftse rising and seems a little steady here. Hoping for an update

Correct. Closed period. The silence from the board is intriguing though as they could do an investor call or release a statement clearing things up. Have a slight hunch something behind scenes is going on. Not back in but watching closely

Ambulance chasers.

Seems a bit desperate either way doesn't it, what are your thoughts?

Either a director buy or short closing up, we saw a lot of these £2m trades a few weeks back when it was fluctuating. Either way a big chunky buy which should set things off nicely tomorrow. I had been waiting for all the dust to settle properly like this now, look forward to the long haul like you here and making very good money.

2m buy after hours open up tomorrow then
