Anglo Irish Bank

[Thomas Ralph]

As of about 8pm this evening, Anglo Irish Bank is going to be nationalized.

[Thomas J Stamp]

Lets all have a par-tay!!!

"It's the end of the world as we know it!" should be our new national anthem

[Mark]

This has created serious issues with government borrowing for infrastructure now according to Prof Lucey.

Anglo Irish Bank may have just killed off a large infrastructure project or two.

[Thomas J Stamp]

ok lads, lets keept the serious discussion of Anglo and the recession to the mega thread in the members section - where we can decide what stance we're taking and that.

here - lets just party on like its 1985!!!!

why can't the builders on the dole build our infrastructure as a condition of their unemployment benefit?

Why what did I say? :D

It will be interesting to see what the net remaining value is in Anglo. It seems a similar exercise to that done in Northern Rock is in progress. It will be interesting to see how any final distribution is handled, especially to shareholders and directors with large loans against Anglo and who purchased their shares on the basis of those loans.

I was wondering over on the Slugger blog whether Anglo could be refinanced with the asset value in Postbank, with Anglo essentially taking over the back-end of the Post Office operation. Fortis would have to be bought out but they might welcome the cash right now.

Do you think I'd be able to get all of it by myself?
