Shares in Northern Rock are down more than 25% today. NR is responsible for around 1 in 5 mortgages in the UK. What do you make of the apparent current crisis? Could NR go bust?

I doubt that they will go bust but they may be targets for a takeover.

Wit hte government's assurance today, I would think they are now in a much stronger position. Still a takeover possible, I would imagine, but maybe we'll see the share price head back upwards tomorrow.

Time to buy shares. Quick rush to the brokers.

Yep, around 10% up today. Thankfully, I bought around lunchtime yesterday, at 263p (they got as low as 261p). Not a lot... it's a bit risky for my liking, but so far so good.

Yes I heard about this in the news. The queues outside the branches were like chaos. Understandable when you hear they needed an emergency loan...

Sadly the share price has still been performing terribly so my apparently timely investment wasn't so great afterall. Good job I only put a little bit in.

My comments to buy hi sell low were only a joke.
