Why do you subscribe to ADVFN fatnacker?

You obviously haven't got the intelligence to make use of live pricing.

Not just the bbc, Whitehall & the BoE aswell. London needs a good clear out. HOC needs turning into a wetherspoons and regional assemblies created to cover 6M heads a piece. Elected representatives of each assembly should then meet in Barnsley once a month to coordinate national issues,that would focus their minds. We should borrow a guillotine from the frogs and start culling the Metropolitan elite starting with Hugh Grant, fkin Gary Linekar and everyone who lives in islington.

're 288211,
Wouldn't it be just luvverly if Lloyds tip did produce but in today's febrile financial world something like a 10% increase would be incredible to achieve.
So,off with the Telegraph 's rose tinted and I'll settle for 5% increase +or- inflation.
No Boris euphoria in my world.

2020 tip: Lloyds Banking Group

After two years backing gloom-mongers' favourite Begbies Traynor, the time has come to abandon insolvency practitioners and pick a more upbeat stock.

Lloyds Banking Group has been pretty uninspiring for the past five years. It returned fully to private hands in early 2017, but has seen little uplift - where are the benefits investors anticipated?

Instead of letting rip once free of the Treasury's ball and chain, its shares have bounced along in the low 60s ever since - ironically below the price of its state bailout. The Government profited, just about, from its ownership. Few other shareholders can say the same.

So why back Lloyds now? This is not a judgement on the bank's strategy nor its underwhelming leadership. Instead, it is a bet on two factors outside its control.

LLoyds bank
Lloyds could be about to end an uninspiring five-year run
One is the wider economy. Post-bailout, the bank refocused on the UK market. That made sense in the eurozone crisis era when Britain was an unusually attractive economy. More recently, though, growth has been sluggish and Lloyds' share price with it.

But now there is a real prospect of an economic resurgence, and investors could do worse than a bank with outsized exposure to Britain.

Secondly, PPI. The ultimate PPI compensation bill for the bank surpassed £20bn - almost half its current market valuation. That scandal is now over thanks to a regulatory deadline at the end of August 2019.

There are risks - the global economy could yet drag the UK down. Other scandals could be worse than they currently appear. An unencumbered Lloyds could at last live up to its potential.

#288204 great cartoon, shame about the article it went with!

It's interesting that the BBC has so grotesquely overplayed its hand that its future is right up there along with Brexit and other constitutional change as matters in urgent need of attention. Probably, like the Labour Party, they don't even know what they've done wrong.

The first New Year's Eve for a long time that I've felt truly optimistic about the coming year(s).

CP, I think thats the idea if theres no agreed extension but I think the Bill's only provisionally passed for further parliamentary scrutiny. Sabre rattling really.

Not a good start:
"Thousands of Halifax, Lloyds and RBS customers are beginning the New Year unable to access their bank accounts after their websites crashed. Online banking is currently down for customers of all three banks, who have taken to social media to bemoan the outage on New Year's Day.
Large parts of Britain have been left unable to access their accounts on their computers or smartphone apps".

Happy New Year to you too Max. ;)

Utrickytrees: "Hopefully team Boris can play the transition period in such away that he wont have to ask the house to support a cliff edge Brexit..."

Thought that the idea of the recently passed WA Bill was that there will be no extension beyond end January 2021 and this would become the legal default position, thus no question of going back to ask the house again, unless I've missed something?
