Beware of vampires!

I am pleased to let you know that Monique has arrived safe and sound; all too sadly, Dracula had another plans for the evening.
Plans include a snooker binge.
Meow.

When still reading this, send her my deepest sympathy for the football team.

Thanks, Paul, but a bunch of panicky old hags isn't worth them.
Go, the Dutch!

Financial crisis

Seems we all have a boring life.

Well, today I have taken a risk and invested a vast amount in a (rumoured) bankrupt bank, called Fortis, around close of the trading. Bought opties (dont know the english word) around half of a maximum. Fingers crossed. .
I expect it to rise up to 7 euros the coming months and then I will retire

you can follow the share price on

If it goes down, its sunken roofs there is an anagram

Bought shares at 5.5 € today this is a Belgian bank with Belgian CEO Verwilst at the the top - so this must go right Paul I hope

[PaulTheSoave]

Fortis has 160 billion in equity (savings), so I cant see why they are under pressure. Think they have been talked down by the media. Pretty sure some are making a biggun as shares has flippered 20% up and down in recent days.

btw GMAC (mortgage bank) is borrowing money themselves for around 24%, so this one must be the first one going down. They have even stopped giving out mortgages since april!

No way Fortis is going bankrupt - a take over could be on his way,but CEO Verwilst - backed by Yves Leterme - are talking of 12 €/stock as a fair value.
They need some selling of fixed asset after the acquisition of ABN Amro and in todays market conditions it won't be easy.

Monday morning up early to buy some more!

Well Fortis boss Herman Verwilst lives a 500 m from where I live. I dont know him personally but he has a lovely wife so that s a good reason to buy some stocks I guess
