muscleman Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Any thought on Hellenic bank? It is a small cyprus community bank. It is trading to a huge discount of equity. Cyprus is hit hard, but it seems they came through that the best. And it seems that cyprus stocks completly collapsed, and are very hated. So cant hellp thinking that there might be a couple bargains in there. What is the symbol for it? I can't find out which exchange it trades on. What about the financial reports? It does seem interesting because Third point offshore participated in its recap plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are publicly traded, but i dont see them on yahoo or google finance. Hellenic bank is trading like 10% equity, but i dont really like their numbers. I think you can buy using etrade. http://www.cse.com.cy/en/Research/quotes.asp Iv been there tho. It doesn't really look as collapsed as the news wants you to believe. There is also talk about bitcoin becoming their new currency, but when i asked people, nobody ever heard of bitcoin :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BargainValueHunter Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 http://www.businessweek.com/news/2014-04-12/national-bank-of-greece-said-to-plan-eu2-dot-1-bln-capital-increase The Governor of the Bank of Greece, George Provopoulos, said in an interview on Skai television station on Friday that the National Bank of Greece could tap private investors successfully if it chose to. The board will propose an increase in the share capital of 2.1 billion euros through payment in cash and the cancellation of the preemption rights of the bank’s ordinary shareholders, including Greece’s bank recapitalization fund HFSF, the person familiar said. The National Bank of Greece will also propose the buyback of 1.3 billion euros of preference shares currently held by the Greek government. To finance that, the lender will sell some assets, two people said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the link you gave me, I put into hellenic and clicked go, but still nothing shows up. You deposited money into Hellenic bank?! :o I heard that Cypress bank recapitalization requires haircuts in depositor's money, which is almost unheard of before. Normally I think shareholders are cut first, followed by bond holders. Depositors should be the last one to be cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BargainValueHunter Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 http://www.marketsemerging.com/national-bank-of-greece-adr-nysenbg-plunges-on-bad-news/177096/ National Bank of Greece sank 14.53% in pre-market trading on Monday after a report the largest banking group Greek, National Bank of Greece (NBG) unveiled plans to increase its capital by 2.1 billion euros to cover the shortfall identified by the recent stress tests conducted among Greek banks. NBG, present on the market in Romania, is expected to take a decision on the possible capital increase at a meeting of the Board of Directors scheduled to be held on April 15. Back in March, NBG declared that it will unveil a plan to cover the equity gap without selling new shares. However, the Central Bank of Greece, the Greek financial institution that oversees the system rejected to accept the plan. Governor of the Central Bank of Greece, George Provopoulos, said last week in an interview with Skai TV that NBG might successfully address whether private investors will prefer this. “National Bank of Greece wants to seize the opportunity created by high demand for Greek assets to recapitalize quickly,” said Thanassis Drogossis, director Pantelakis Securities.

Depositors should be the last one to be cut. they were one of only banks who didnt haircut depositors in the crisis. and they succesfully recapped last year and their rating also was upgraded this year. so that made me think it is pretty safe now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
