HBOS slides as Lehman stirs funding concerns

 

10:18GMT 15Sept2008-HBOS (LSE: HBOS.L - news) slides as Lehman stirs funding concerns

 

----------------------------------------------------------------

 

Shares in British bank HBOS slump nearly 22 percent to 220.5 pence, leading the FTSE 100 losers' list, as the collapse of Lehman Brothers (NYSE: LEH - news) fuels concerns over the bank's funding costs.

 

HBOS depends more than any other major UK lenders on borrowing in the wholesale markets for its funding, and could face higher financing costs as a result of Lehman Brothers' demise, anal cysts say.

 

'HBOS has more sensitivity to issues around the functioning of the interbank market,' says Fox-Pitt, Kelton anal cyst Leigh Goodwin.

 

'If the interbank market gets more dysfunctional, the likelihood of the mortgage-backed security market ever getting going again is put back.'

The panic buying of Treasuries is completely insane. When this blowoff ends, it is going to be horrible.

been looking to dump my FBNDX (fidelity investment grade bond fund). been holding a few bits of this in my 401(k). should have sold months ago, when it was in the low 7s. . . now it's 6.93/share. i'm anticipating a fright to perceived quarity in the next few days, which should give me an opportunity to sell the stuff a few cents higher.

 

any thoughts on timing my exit, doc?

 

tanks in advance. i'm going to sleep. hope to see plenty of red when i wake up.

I have no feel for hygrade corporates, but I like Hygrade Ballpark Franks.

 

Trader Joe is probably the guy to ask about corporates.

 

I also don't know when the Treasury market is going to reverse. WHen it does there's the issue of whether corporate spreads will narrow or widen.
