Lloyds Banking Share Discussion Threads

Ekuuleus - good earlier post re where Lloy share price could go.

On the death rate, I agree, difficult to measure. All deaths recorded but probably not all those infected. And may not record CV as cause. If it spreads as much as it could, I would guess NHS might not have resources to test widely, so then guesses/ surveys.

If stats emerge (gbh2 post above) on recovering individuals, then people might relax.

@Mitchy,

Germany is probably fiddling the figures like everyone else.

Case,Cae, case, cluster, cluster, boom.

Germany just entering the boom phase now.

Skorea / Singapore the ones to watch for how to deal,control, mitigate imo
But it is warm weather in SKorea/Singapore so that could be a factor...

We have no visibility on impact on service industry, job numbers, etc. Etc. Etc.
No way this thing stabilises, surely?

[smartypants] 06/3/2020 09:52

Would you prefer the 15 day view of the same chart?
Draw your own...it might turn out different?

Only respite banks is virus antidotes available asap.But according to pundit it may be by end of the year.

[smartie6] 06/3/2020 09:51

Who knows how far this will fall. Be a brave man to say it would go up to 60p.

[careful] 06/3/2020 09:50

We got out of the eu. and look at the result.
crashed markets, panic, airlines going bust, and end to all holidays.

I know you will all be gullible and believe it is because everyone is catching this years flu virus,
but the real cause is Brexit.

deep down you must know this.

[action] 06/3/2020 09:50

30p that is a big call.

[smartie6] 06/3/2020 09:49

Smarty pants, you aren’t wrong. This falls, we’re on day 5 of probably 90 and the crxp is flying now. I can’t even imagine where we’ll be on day 90 but region of 30p can’t be far out can it?

A Crisis Within A Crisis

Minny, sorry you can't understand simple concepts. Tracing is being abandoned as it's useless now. Transmission is by those who show and those who have it but don't show any symptoms. Therefore tracing strategy useless. Does that explain it in sufficiently simple terms for you? If not, CBBC may explain in their children's news.

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.
The employee share scheme is a guaranteed win. These days mostly 3 year although 5 year and 7 year possible. You put an amount in the scheme and the bank matches that amount or some other percent. It's an option to buy at a price from the start of the scheme but only execise at the 3/5 or 7 year mark.

The bank has a vested interest in a more volatile price. They can set up the scheme for a lower price and gain more.

When the share price goes down under the option price, it's better to take the cash back. On a positive for the wider share holders, this will mean less dilution.

Plenty of culture on his feet I bet.

Our Recovery figure rose from 8 to 18 this morning.

[gaffer73] 06/3/2020 09:42

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.

38p when capitulation happens.

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.

[mitchy] 06/3/2020 09:34

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

[chinese investor] 06/3/2020 09:29

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

Minerve2 = Less culture than yoghurt.

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.

[alphorn] 06/3/2020 09:26

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

[smartypants] 06/3/2020 09:18

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.
