Question?
"Billions of pounds were wiped from its stock market value despite the Government’s pledge to keep it afloat with more money from the taxpayer."

Perhaps a subtle point, but a company's share price could fall at the same time as the probability of the company going bust also falls. Indeed, is a nationalised bank considered to be "afloat", from an operational point of view?

"despite" usage here suggests that the Government's pledge should make share prices increase, not clear that was the point. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.198.233.108 (talk) 16:16, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Link this page into (newly created) second bank rescue package?
Have started a 2009_United_Kingdom_bank_rescue_package that is about the second bailout package, and thought that this page could reference to that? Peterkeltie (talk) 06:05, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
