The problem is the € has weakened a hell of a lot in the last week or so. You'd be locking in that loss. Is the € going to rebound? In my opinion not a cat in hells chance.It does not look good for the € and no way the Spanish Government can support it's banks id proverbial hits the fan with Greece and Spain becomes next domino so looking at a big bailout from the ECB. All in all very nasty times we are living in.

Do you think so, I trust your monetery wisdom. "Sit tight", how long for. What if the "proverbial" hits the fan. They say that 1/3 of Greeks have already transfered their money to Switzerland.

Good luck tomorrow, by the way,[;)]

the more that withdraw the worse it will get. . Was the same panic buying at the fuel pumps a while ago and it created a problem when there wasn't one.

Extract from Banco Sabadell website:

"We are pleased to inform you that we have restored all services of the group and the operational merger between Banco Guipuzcoano and Banco Sabadell has been completed successfully"

Sabadell/Solbank was offline for 24 hours and I feared the worst!
