On Thursday 13th September, after the market had closed, the Bank of England announced to have provided emergency cash to Northern Rock, the fifth largest mortgage lender in the country. The Bank of England played down the intervention, saying that it is not a "bail-out" but rather a loan meant to ease the bank's difficulties in financing its short-term operations in the face of the recent market turmoil. The bank's assets are reportedly solid and there is no risk for shareholders.  In spite of this reassurance, the stock price of this former market darling tumbled 30% on Friday. People were seen queing outside branches while the website went down as the bank clients rushed to withdraw their money using the online banking facility.  It's the first time in my life I've seen that Great Depression staple, the bank run.
