Comment in the Daily telegraph...Graham Phipps31 Jul 2020 8:02AMThere's an easy way to make a small fortune with Lloyds shares. Start with a large fortune in them and watch it gradually wither away

No. Write offs.

Anyone know if impairments include the missed payments from the 3 month payment holidays on mortgages and credit cards?

Banks looking oversold now at or below this year's lows.

How much did Lloyds save by cancelling the buyback plans and the dividend cut?

[smartie6] 31/7/2020 07:53

I just think Lloyds as been very conservative in its approach and the others not so.
Whilst more local based and tied to UK economy, just can’t help feeling that provisioning model is tested to much more severe levels than other Banks.
Realisation may set in and we may see movement, at this moment Lloyds should be at 30p not 26p alongside other bank positions, imo.
DYOR.

"Lloyds will be over £6 a share in 25 years"

Only if there's a 1000 to 1 Share consolidation!

Free trade and national securityBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JULY 31, 2020As a free trader I think it is usually a good idea to specialise and then to buy in the goods and services you do not produce yourself. All individuals practise this, relying on the supermarket for our food and the power company for our electricity. They are better at those, with economies of scale, whilst we earn a living as best we can.It can be true for many things for a nation . There are, however, some obvious limits. It would not be a good idea to rely for your defence on importing war supplies when you need them from countries that may be on a different side in a conflict. It is probably a good idea to produce enough food at home so we do not starve should there be some major disruption of global trade.The UK needs to reassess its national resilience and ask if it has become too dependent on the goodwill of foreigners to supply many of the things we need. Some things ought to be easier to supply from local sources. Water, quarried stone, many other building materials, timber and energy are heavy and expensive to move around, so going more local could make economic sense.How would you arrange our affairs so we have more of the essential capabilities and technologies an advanced nation needs?I have written to the government proposing an energy policy that puts self sufficiency at its core. I will take up the issue of more home grown trees leading to more home grown timber, as the government is already committed to the costs of more trees. We need to turn this into a sustainable resource cutting the need to import substantially.Importing bottled water looks like a bad idea environmentally as well as Economically, so where are the U.K. entrepreneurs who can win the battle of the bottled waters?The U.K. government controls a lot of economic activity which gives it power as a buyer to organise competitive procurement that can stimulate U.K. activity in the chosen areas. It needs to learn from the NHS experience with procuring protective clothing, drugs, and medical equipment in the pandemic. It can doubtless improve on its experience then. It relied too much on possible foreign supplies which let it down, and ended up paying expensively for more domestic output in a hurry. Longer term planning and working with suppliers who can match world prices for sustained orders is required.

Absolutely horrid numbers from NatWest. Can't be good for the bank sector.

[redirect12] 31/7/2020 07:11

64% of the adult population pay no income tax, why you think ALL the ftse 100 companys are losing there dividends. we ARE the only targets the government got the balls to hit.

[hellscream] 31/7/2020 05:13

the ftse 100 index is garbage, fact is over the long term you lose money investing. only thing that goes up is house prices. government garrenteed.

[johncasey] 31/7/2020 00:54

[yasyas1] 31/7/2020 00:16

Well what a mess! Bought at 32p thinking it was cheap and then this massive drops! Not sure what big deal is - we knew results were going to be naff but i assumed that was priced in

Alp.


Just to refresh the memory.



Negotiations under Article 50 TEU (Treaty on European Union) will be conducted as a single package. In accordance with the principle that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed, individual items cannot be settled separately.



ie, nothing has been agreed to date, much less the lot. And certainly not a blank cheque for a counterparty who can alter the terms at will.

[diku] 30/7/2020 23:19

What chance Natwest bad results but it goes up...

[redirect12] 30/7/2020 23:16

All blue on all indexs and us nearly recovered all losses from today so looking good for tomorrow depending on how bad natwest is
But I've had a very good run on kodak ive had for so long I'd written them of for bust

[k38] 30/7/2020 23:09

The Q is.. what's stopping the management to buy the lows, cancel the shares and support shareholders value ..The awnser is, the big boys will go bust!

[diku] 30/7/2020 23:07

Lloy has all the hall marks of VOD...once upon a time VOD also had 70bln shares in issue...buyback shares with one hand and issue more shares with the other hand...never ending story...then they sold off VZ stake with shareholder return and a share consolidation...
