HSBC Plc (HSBA)
February 4th, 2008Eeeeek! Credit crunch. US recession. Tanking markets, collapsing bank, carnage, chaos and mayhem everywhere.
There’s got to be somewhere left respectable to put your money even if some French trick motorcyclist hasn’t flushed it all away.
Well, there is. Solid, dependable and it’s all in the name….

The old cliché has it that as far as the stockmarket is concerned one should go away in May and come back again on St Leger Day. What? And miss out on all the fun? Reeling retailers. Broken banks. Crunching credit. There’s so much more than mere capital accumulation, yield and dividend. Not only are there bargains out there but also more than the odd laugh.

Good and straight forward conclusion over the now somewhat under valued banking sector. Actually HSBC is not that cheap and in my opinion would not be my first choice, better values had else where. Certainly Barclays is even less desirable with a greedy bonus grabbing director behind it’s engine, I would stay well clear of this bank. No wonder dividend payments miss the mark and are lower then others.
