FSA & Popular Press baffled by share price falls

Well that must have them confused. Short selling of financial stocks has been banned but prices have still fallen this morning.

• Barclays -5.4%
• RBS -6.8%
• HBOS -11.1%
• Lloyds TSB -7.6%
• Standard Chartered -5.9%
• Bradford & Bingley -13.3%

This can only mean one thing - potential buyers are forcing prices down by sitting on their hands and sellers are accepting the lower prices. To quote the Finextra blogger from yesterday, what a bunch of evil murderers.
