Hello Crystal. It appears the MM's are busy putting pressure on SP. I still think that there will be moves to float SantanderUK shortly, as they wanted to a couple of years ago. In my view SP will rise to 400p. in coming months and when they pass US stress test next year will regain 550p.

Hello Crystal.. We seem to be the only ones on this BB. Banking is still in a bit of turmoil but they always come out on the bright side eventually. I consider Santander shares to be a good buy for long term, they have decent dividends and are lifting off the bottom. I came in previously, a few years back, at 330p when most were standing back and within 18months had doubled on that occasion. I still think Ana will launch Santander UK shortly to bolster group funds until Santander recovers globally.

I have purchased over last 2 weeks and if price holds will purchase more before dividend cut off.

As I see it there is no reason why Santander should not start to recover SP. Leaving aside Brazil the main problem was failing the US assessment. I think Santander BOD have that in hand to make sure they do not fail a third time. I feel that SP should now recover to 550p. and if UK was floated then a rise above that. Santander is a solid company. That is only my opinion.

Hello. I agree but with current times this is a buy from my point of view. I feel that with brexit, the rising market and being isolated as a separate country away from failing European banks Santander UK would stand a good chance of improving group profits. So SP would probably improve in anticipation and again on capital income from sale. As Santander wanted to do this anyway it is just a matter of timing.

Over the years there has been talk about Santander UK being floated with a 49% sale leaving Spain in charge but receiving the capital receipt which at the moment would be very useful to improve current SP. Santander has done this all around the world. At present the 123 Account Santander is very popular and although banks generally are suffering I think that it would be a wise move, with the FTSE100 at a high, there would be a premium on pricing. If investors were offered a one for one allocation, with 20% discount, on say holdings at 15th July, I feel you would get 100% take up as there is not much else around currently..

Hello maid.. I think the decision just shocked the world, but the world is not involved in our social life just our economy from a safe distance. UK had no problems with trading and finances just the other inconveniences like NHS, housing and schooling but that does not affect the world just money. There is a worry about our overpriced housing stock declining but that will probably reduced further and become realistic. I heard that rent controls were being considered. Many outside countries are now asking to do deals now that we are free.

I am surprised that Santander has not done up considering depressed GBP. As Santander trades in Euro or does mean the Euro is even worse off than us.

If you want to chance on a rising share look at Cyan Holdings, could be an ARM in the making.

With Santanders low SP isn't it time to float 45% of Abbey. It is probably one of Santanders best products at present. As the books are fairly clean compared with other UK banks it would attract a good opening price and if offered to small shareholders exclusively Ana would regain their trust after the last quick sale to the big boys only, which did not appear to get the desired results. I would buy.

Would now be a good time for Ana to consider floating 30% of old Abbey. It would be a high point as in good condition and give her a breathing-space.

Missed out years back when jumped from 1p > 4p > up to 10p. but I dont think they will progress for some time now. If you are thinking of bailing look at Cyan Holdings. This is a 10year company that seems on the brink of a big break out. I am in this one.

READING BRIANSMITH 100000. If the final value of all new shares is calculated to be 1p. and any buys before the decision is made in December do not get the 1p offer then there is no value in buying at 3p. especially with the ultimate possibility of winding up. Unless stock is being manipulated for a purpose I can only see it dropping like a brick to below 1p. as there is no true value in existing stock.
