More shares with HBOS

[tiger64]

Can anyone help about what action to take over buying more HBOS share. I hold 1523 and i can now top this up to 2107 shares at �113.6 per share. I konw we have lost out compaired to a year ago, but this is going to be my pension fund in about 20 years. so i hope shares prices will have gone up by then. I could fine the money but is it a wise action. thank you for any help.

At the minute their shares are 67.5p; if you want to invest in their shares buy on the open market. Regardless of what offer they have sent you the question is, do you want to buy more HBOS shares? If you do then buy at the best price you can.

The offer is 113.6pps. The market price is almost half that. The institutions are obviously too worried about what else HBOS are going to announce in the way of losses to even consider investing more at this time.
