Bella-Angelique Posted May 17, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Here is an article from a business site reporting on what appears to be a Spanish run on the banks. Bank shares fell by a massive 27% in value in a single day. I do not understand why something is not being done when for the past two years all of the great financial minds of Europe assured us that they completely understood that situation and that they knew exactly what to do to correct the situation and get things back on track. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/187a0562-a00a-11e1-90f3-00144feabdc0.html?ftcamp=published_links%2Frss%2Fhome_asia%2Ffeed%2F%2Fproduct#axzz1v9YRYoZy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, all of those gold sellers that have been calling people and harassing them to buy more gold. So many different groups trying to work scams and take advantage of people. Seems it should be illegal to cause panics that hurt people if they have caused this. Wouldn't that be like shouting fire in a building, some sort of law like that?

Not if you get a gullible journalist to print it, then it ceases to be your responsibility... unless demonstrated that the journalist is in cahoots with you.

I hope they can sell and turn their savings back into deposits. Do you have a news blog you operate by any chance that I can go to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithisco Posted May 21, 2012 #8 Share Posted May 21, 2012 It doesnt help that unsubstantiated rumours of 1.6 Billion euros of withdrawals from the Bank were made in 2 days. That is equal to just 145 euros withdrawn by each investor - hardly a run... Bankia is my bank in Spain, and they have a not insubstantial amount of my money on Deposit, yet I have never been asked to convert my liquid savings into Bankia Stock, despite receiving alerts from their Investment Group on potential acquisitions. As for the Investors in the Bankia Stock then I have little sympathy: ALWAYS,ALWAYS,ALWAYS seek independent advice before committing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
