Lloyds Banking Share Discussion Threads

Frankly, the PPI hits in all the banks are well-flagged, so I do not understand scribes seeing them as a negative. They are the ones who say look forward, we have seen Barc. and RBS suggest low rates having a bearing, and a muted outlook. If that is the case then all these suggestions that the UK is going to see an uptick are a bit premature. The grand projects that Johnson is touting in terms of infrastructure take a long time to come to fruition. For one HS2 is already in progress so not much change there, as for more nurses and coppers, either we are going to import them or employ the prisoners within HM Pleasure to fill those places. Employment very high now, so you got to conjure up the citizens, not everyone is suitable. Social care and the elderly a much larger issue he needs to address. As for buses, it would help if he repaired the shocking state of our existing roads. Johnson is all hot air, when Thatcher revolutionised this country we had mass unemployment, the reverse is true now!

Good thinking but lloy has a habit of surprising the market . We could see -50p on Thursday or 60p+ or even no change at all . The forward looking statement is what the market will be hanging it's hat on in my opinion. Add to that the headwinds of a Brexit Deal and corvid19 and it's anyone's guess .Good Luck.

Call their bluff, Boris! Brexiteer reveals the ONE WAY Britain can pull rug from

under EU

BORIS JOHNSON has been urged to abandon post-Brexit trade talks with the EU by

Wetherspoon boss Tim Martin, who instead suggests the UK should leave on World

Trade Organisation (WTO) terms.


Britain will enter post-Brexit trade talks with the EU next month, as the two

sides attempt to thrash out before the end of the transition period on December 3

1. So far EU bosses have hinted they want the UK to stay closely aligned with

Brussels rules and have warned Boris Johnson they will not back the kind of

agreement he is seeking. As a result, Wetherspoon boss Tim Martin is urging the

Prime Minister to walk away from the talks.

What if they worked within the rules chiefbrody but were just better at it?

Well ppi is finished, Hbos accounted for and Britain expected to flourish following the EU exit. All good news for Lloyd's. It's not going to show in these results but I believe some of the recent drop is due to the factor's mentioned. I'm expecting a small dip post results followed by a steady rise to 70p later on this year. New quarterly divi's should attract more investors too.

Funniest thing on the BBC is the BBC Pidgin news pages. Well, would be funny if British licence payers weren’t funding it.

mr.elbee I'm no defender of the BBC TV's interpretation of events and also agree they have a distinct liberal-left bias . Andrew Marr for instance is clearly an example, current affair programs are generally reliable but some editor's with their misplaced sense of political correctness skew the facts. Even John Humphrys has on many occasion criticized BBC bosses of pushing a leftist bias.
With all its flaws I love the institution as a whole and believe we'd be a poorer culture without it, society and its norms changes with time, sometimes veering away from what we've held dear. I listen to LBC during the day a fair bit and am appalled by its opinion led talk show hosts, live and uncut, apart from a transmission delay of 10 seconds to avoid expletive language or vile content from being broadcast live.
I'm convinced documentaries, dramas, soaps (excluding East Enders lol!) comedy, education, science, gardening, cookery, nature etc.etc will never have the same impact should the BBC be dismantled! And most of all Radio, no country under the sun can compete with its coverage, both on its multilingual broadcasting and frequency allocation. The BBC and The Open University cannot exist without each other, we have more orchestras per capita than any other country in the world thanks to Antie! The unrivaled quality of British transmitters, sound recording equipment & HiFi is down to BBC audio design engineers.
And there's more................;~)

gaffer I hope you are right, but it has been a disappointing run up to the results...as though it is already known that not too much is expected.
I hope they are wrong as I have a lot riding on Lloyds and would like to see
a capital gain on these in the not too distant future as well as the divis which are very useful to say the least.
