If I were a mod, I'd be asking myself whether this thread is getting anywhere - or indeed whether the same principles should be applied to the discussion of individual banks' safety as are applied to the discussion of individual stocks.
I know in my case, the thread has maybe given me a bit of heat but not a lot of light - to use an old phrase from round here.
I don't think anyone pn AAM can make a conclusive statement on the safety of any financial institution, and back it up with facts and figures.
We all have our own opinions and ideas.
All one can do is look at the financial reports, info in the media, past behaviour of regulators and governments in the events of banks failing, etc.
Not an Anglo employee or shareholder - but a depositor and a citizen aware of the potential implications of Chinese whispers!
