    Ok it is possible for one of them to go down, but how likely would it be for both banks to go bust?

    Percentage-wise ?

    I wouldn't take an even-money bet on it not happening in the next 12 months.

    So, I suppose in my opinion, better than 50%.

    Not many places doing well at the moment. However I think emigration will really kick off in about 1 year.

    I fell in to a burning ring of fire
    I went down,down,down
    and the flames went higher.
    And it burns,burns,burns
    the ring of fire
    the ring of fire

    The plain fact is that AIB is still a strong & sound bank which is internationally diversified, UK (RBS) & rest of Europe's failings are obviously having a knock on effect on it's share price but nationalising is not the way to go...shareholders/pensions etc. it would be a disastrous move!:mad::confused:

    Although he did say the same thing re Anglo about a week ago. Who knows what will happen next.
