...beacause the fsa thinks you are a very very naughty boy and should be locked up for criminal activity.

so next time you have a rumour, keep your mouth shut....because rumours are no longer allowed.

big bruvver is watching.

ps...if you can pm next time you have a story that would be great, happy to go 60:40 your favour

It was "howard" from the adverts, he asked for a pay rise and they said they wouln't give him extra........so he thought he'd get his own back and screw his bosses nest eggs!

I think the whole 'malicious traders' thing was a smokescreen.

Traders have been swapping ideas and information on a daily basis for decades.

A friend of mine who works in one of the banks was taken in that very morning for a presentation
on liquidity and funding, so how 'unfounded' was the rumour?? Obviously the firms are wary of another NR run
but isn't it a traders job to profit from news/ideas.

Companies weren't complaining last year when 'unfounded' rumours of takeovers were sending their stocks
soaring. FSA didn't step in there either.

Rumours or not, HBOS has fallen below a key Gann indicator which should result in a further fall to 294ish, all thats needed now is a 50% rally back to 587.
