It is also a problem for large banks who bought bonds when interest rates were low and have yet to account for the losses they have incurred as the value of those bonds have dropped as interest rates went up. And then there are the unrecognised losses on commercial property loans.
Expect the BoE to enforce mark to market rules soon as holes in balance sheets will need to be found and addressed. There will be first mover advantage for regulators as there is only so much money floating around to recapitalise banks that need funding.

Some here are still keen on the returns and NAV discounts offered by REITs. I think the party is well and truly over with just some drunks still dancing.

Down over 99% from the 11p highs and postalot has the audacity to suggest shareholders are getting a bargain. The Dear Leader (praise be his name) must be delighted that he has rampers who are prepared to post rubbish in his defence in the hope of getting some of their money back.
I do not subscribe to the 'paid posters' conspiracy theories on some of the boards but postalot's comments do make me wonder occasionally.

There has been no historic problem of students fraudulently voting twice. What the CONservatives have done is create an imaginary threat to campaign against which (a) makes them look good to their swivel eyed voters and (b) has a marginal effect of suppressing non-Tory voters (who are poorer and less likely to have acceptable photo ID; less likely to have the leisure time to be politically aware and know of the changes and less likely to have the time to go home and collect photo ID if they forget to take it as they are too busy working 60 hours a week on minimum wage.
It is just cynical gerrymandering dressed up with a veneer of 'eliminating voter fraud' (which was almost non-existent).

Type "James Sunderland immigration" into Google and it comes back with a note saying: "Some results may have been removed under data protection law in Europe".
Has he had the lawyers onto Google to clean up past offensive statements?
