Which are the safest UK banks with little exposure to the sub-prime malarky?
I've worked too hard to have my money disappear overnight by a shock overnight bank collapse.
I always thought The Royal Bank of Scotland was safe, and still do sort of.... but now I'm wondering cause I'm sure they went shopping and bought US banks/lenders a while back.
Are there any banks with loadsa cash, strong asset sheet, few dodgy bad loans on their books ect... where it's safest for money.
HSBC worries me cause of all that World Bank stuff.... makes me think they are exposed to risks in every country and what would happen in there was a run on deposits in like HSBC accounts in Singapore or France or whatever, as I'm sure that would affect UK depositers standing too.
BTW - I'm going out now with my Mum... will have to check for answers (and thumbs up good ones) when I get back in 2 hours. Thanks.
Don't worry, you money is not going to disappear.
All banks which have been following the Central Banks' (i.e. BoE) guidelines are covered.
And a requirement has been for then to take out insurance against such a collapse.
So the man on the street will not lose any money, investing in one of the household name banks.
Numerically, that is.
In real terms, the value of your money i.e. the currency may go down, but everyone suffers equally.
As the Irish Republic used to say, "We may bnot be rich, but at least we're all equally poor".
But of course in reality, some are more equal than others.
The point you have to remember is that the money being lent to sub-prime borrowers was not real.
It was based mainly on securities and bonds coming from East Asia i.e. it was just a promise of money.
As long as no one actually spent it i.e. the guys you paid a stupid price for you new house "invested" it wisely in another stupidly priced house, everyone was happy.
But the source of all this virtual money is of course the 3 trillion or dollars that the US Fed has been printing since 1971.
So the problem now is actually with all the foreign companies and banks trying to "invest" in the USA, saying "hey look, we've got a fistful of dollars here; what can we buy ?"
The fact is, they can't buy anything real without making the american economy very unhappy, which is the source of the collapse.

A Cruise Through The Royal Carribbean
cruises are luxury hotels that move every half hour, it's a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, a mass of one hundred thousand tons, that glides on the ocean between Florida and the islands of the Caribbean on a regular basis.
Royal Caribbean International is the second largest cruise ship operator in the world with revenues in excess of $4 billion. It owns 28 ships with more than 65,000 berths on them and is growing. Here's their story.
Flash back to 1969. An idea suddenly struck Arne Wilhelmsen and Edwin Stephan (Arne was a Harvard-educated investor and Edwin a famous Floridian businessman). The idea was that there was a large community of extremely wealthy Americans in Florida, and that this community would put down top dollar for a short, relaxing luxury cruise to the nearby Caribbean.
Arne and Edwin marketed this brainwave to some of the shipping magnates in Norway who readily bought it and came up with large investments. After a short gestation period, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines (and an entire new industry) was born.
By the next year (1970), the infant company could speak of it's first possession: The SONG OF NORWAY, a splendid cruise ship, weighing 18,500 tons and equipped for 700 passengers, custom-built in Finland. The most stunning feature of it was a cocktail lounge cantilevered around the smokestack (Edwin Stephen got the idea from the Seattle Space Needle). This lounge was built into many of the Line's later ships and became the hallmark of the Company's fleet.
* Growth, Growth and More Growth *
The founders of the Company pursued their vision of achieving market dominance through a continual program of adding ships and services. A consolidated record of this, which is very difficult to find elsewhere in the media, is presented below:
1971
Cruise ships NORDIC PRINCE and SUN VIKING arrive

2002

... and of course, more ships, even larger that the earlier ones, are on order!
* Conclusion *
With revenues in excess of $4 billion, RCCL is a juggernaut which will not slow down.
Its ships are floating cities, boast amenities such as rock climbing walls, miniature golf courses, swimming pools, ice skating rinks, sun decks, basketball courts, beauty salons, exercise and spa facilities, gaming facilities, lounges, bars, cabaret performances, cinemas, shopping arcades, multiple restaurants and casinos.
Most importantly, when on a cruise, one experiences some priceless bonuses: unpolluted air and a virtually noise-free environment. These are truly, in the modern context, balm for the soul.
If you can afford the entirely reasonable average fare of $400 per person for a 3-night cruise in a luxury stateroom don't think twice about it, sign up for a cruise and gain the experience of a lifetime!
If you want to be rich and famous, you have to focus on its strengths. Do not dwell on their weaknesses. Select your most valuable asset and building a huge advantage.
After finding the desire of your heart, your happiness, dare to dream big, but the biggest dream, wildest dreams imagined. Decide that you are in his particular talent is phenomenal want the best of the best, unforgettable. The fame can not be improvised. One must want it!
Now his dream of translating plans into two manageable. Firstly, to develop their talents. Second market. Then continue on the reality to test and refine their plans. Create feedback loop between your desires and the image inside and the outside world the possibility of reorganization of the work and their talents and abilities.
Take Action with unbending intent. Rely on your plan to do things twice the force at its disposal procedures. Researched and tested, the talents and skills you need in order to attract attention. For example, to hold, subscribe to international journals up to date of their chosen profession.
In line with its aim was learning more routines dedicated their talents, especially as others their unique assets created. I also study the reaction the public. When watching movies you can learn to see cultural patterns. For example, since Americans loved drama and tension, build the element of surprise in performance.
After dominating their talents, develop a second path to success. Learn how to sell, transfer, their talents to an audience of agents, managers and owners of production worldwide.
On their journey, they refused to believe in its limitations. All famous people have confidence in himself appears before the development of their talents and connections. They have put faith before experience. And they have taken risks, invest time, money and energy in their projects.
In short, big dreams, develop plans, and then taken with courage, with unbending intent.
You can implement all important aspects of planning your road to success. Here's a summary:
1st Aisle stronger talent. Forget about your weaknesses. Use your precious energy to master one skill in particular. Focus to be on the best quality and a success in it.
2nd Forget your personal shortcomings. Make business decisions while on the road. While it may be able to change maladaptive conditioning, view this as a further risk. Build On their property. Once assets are strong enough, you can go back and look its liabilities.
3rd Dare to Dream Big. Why take the trouble with half measures? Committed dreams have no power to act, energy and excite. Playing it safe is a losing proposition. Even if you never live up to a absolute standard, it is far beyond what would have dared to push to go.
4th Divide your big plan into small and manageable. Seeing the great Image, and then figure out how it fit together to make.
5th Keep in touch with the outside world. Keep date with the latest trends and use them in their Plans. Learn only what is relevant. Avoid obsolete technologies. Keep an eye on the market. Note where you are, where you move, and perform accordingly.
6th Stay away from the shadows. Make some noise. Find a way to attract attention. Frank Sinatra broke into show business by standing on a table and sing. He was a waiter, and sang a more local producer. Equally famous singers, dancers and actors who have sent newsletters, not to people who knew neither cared nor apologize to him, but finally have interested them. Create a way to help people help you.
7th Learn more about your market. Isolate your target audience. Study what interests you is fun, daring and exciting.
8th Refuse to believe in its limitations. Limited thoughts create limited People. "Heaven," as Wayne Dyer Law reminds us, "is the limit." Napoleon Hill once said, "imagine Whatever the mind of man can and believe you can achieve. "If you doubt their competence and your decisions, you lose life energy. you need that energy to their objectives . Pursue The most original ideas, criticism, more can be found. Do not add to the momentum, adding his name to the list of the critics.
9th Above all, plan, dream and act.
10th And if not, to learn from mistakes and continue.
