The only reason this has fell so far is because of coronavirus so your chart is great for showing what the share price has done but not good for showing what it will do.

Here is an idea for you, it is much better than a ferry company with no ferries.

The UK government could build a tunnel under the Irish Sea instead of a new bridge linking Scotland with Northern Ireland, Alister Jack, the Scottish secretary, has revealed.

Jack told MSPs on Thursday he had raised the tunnel proposal with Boris Johnson as a cheaper and more weatherproof option than a bridge over the sea.

He said he believed Johnson’s previous references to a bridge were a euphemism, and that the best crossing would be a tunnel – a theory he said the prime minister had asked UK government officials to investigate.
“It would be less expensive to tunnel it,” he told MSPs on the Scottish parliament’s culture, tourism, Europe and external affairs committee.
“It’s no different to the tunnels connecting the Faroe Islands, it’s no different to the tunnels going under the fjords.”

Jack insisted there were longer tunnels in other parts of the world, and told reporters he envisaged the crossing starting as a bridge, then going under the sea for a 22-mile tunnel before rising up to be carried by a bridge again.

“Once we get better sight of the costs involved, should the prime minister decide to press the button, we would then want to engage with both [the Northern Ireland assembly and the Scottish parliament] to get a better understanding of the benefits and the challenges,” he said.

"starting as a bridge, going under the sea, rising up to a bridge again"..
So the tunnel starts in the sea!!!and ends in the sea??
Hope they sort the drainage out for that.

CI, you timed your SLA exit well, did say around that price looked a gift.

Germany has 555 cases but no deaths and only 2 critical !!?

LLOY is a safer bet than most shares in times like these !

Covid-19 is 20x deadlier than the Flu IF those requiring hospital beds& treatment get it.

If the health service is overrun, mortality rate of those seriously ill is 50x worse than flu.

The inability of the NHS to deal with a normal winter should be what worries everyone.

Why? Because it means more people wont get the hosital care they need so the mortality rate will soar.

i.e. it won't be enough. ;))

UK goverment are not even pretending that they are able to deal with the outbreak now
The plan is to "delay" as many of you from going to hospital as possible untill later in the year, so that there will be enough beds for you to die in, and they will save a few quid in over time payment to agency employed nurses.

"This is the southern media's revenge on Northerners for voting Brexit."

Interesting theory mr.elbee.

All a Bank these days is a Hard Drive in a back street of India
Cynical, me?

[essentialinvestor] 06/3/2020 09:13

The general points EK made look fair to me, whether you agree with
the prices mentioned, or not.

[alphorn] 06/3/2020 09:13

Ekuuleus - thanks for those posts.

Germany's Robert Koch Institute confirmed on Friday that the number of coronavirus cases in the country climbed to 543 as of 7 am CET, rising by 143 from its previous days figure of 400.

The government agency stressed there could be more cases in the country that still haven't been reported to the institute and urged all people who suspect they may be infected to contact health authorities.

According to ear;lier media reports, 17 people in Germany have recovered from the disease, while there have been no COVID-19 related deaths in the country. No data about the number of tests performed in Germany has been available.

The remainers predicted the end of the world if we voted out.


And so it comes to pass...

[smartypants] 06/3/2020 09:03

LLOY is not Lloyds bank...its just another ticker on a screen
LLOY falling 3% a day and posters cheering a div payout in 3 months time?
Yesterday USA's Pence said they hope to have 75,000 test kits available!
They can not even test yet never mind treat or contain.
So today is Friday...what is the good news you are going to hear over the weekend that will boost LLOY share price come Monday morning?
Perhaps you could ask a couple of bank clercs in the pasty queue at Greggs

[ekuuleus] 06/3/2020 08:51

perhaps mr.elbee

Yesterday lunchtime I was chatting to a couple of LLOY's employees and they were saying it's Bonus time but they're refusing shares and wanting cash.

I told them I'd go for the shares but they said confidence is low in their offices.

[smartypants] 06/3/2020 08:48

You people..
There is no point shouting at your screens... this is silly
You have to accept what is before your very eyes
Do you want to see, it will be a big relief for you when you accept
It is not about how many people are dying, its about things such as China car sales down 80%...do you understand?

[mr.elbee] 06/3/2020 08:46

Dont agree with anything you have said Ekuuleus..It is all factually wrong and very superficial.

Never mind..We'll get on down the pub I am sure.

[mr.elbee] 06/3/2020 08:42

God help this pathetic country if something really serious happened.

Right now?

illogicality rules
ignorance rules
deference to illogical and ill-informed and ignorant experts
rules

and ,statistically, and medically there is hardly a problem...

we are all becoming snowflakes..

This is the southern media's revenge on Northerners for voting Brexit.

cant anyone grow up?

[essentialinvestor] 06/3/2020 08:32

Yup, men have a tendency to confuse a cold with a flu, ask any women!!.

Some major differences. A flu will usually raise temperature, your appetite disappears and if you drink tea, it will leave a metallic taste in your mouth. Aches all over, often with joint pain.

[ekuuleus] 06/3/2020 08:32

You can only record 1 cause of death. Measuring the death rate can be very misleading.

Whilst CV may have a higher rate, it is generally people that already have serious conditions. About 2% of people die every year. At 2% for corona virus, it sounds scary but death rates from other conditions, e.g. cancer, copd, diabeties, will substantially reduce.
