Lloyds Banking Share Discussion Threads

Why sell now, the only place to put money safe is cash, if you think the economy is going down then banks are not the place to be, but they are still a highly profitable enterprise, pay a fair yield, and still wield strong market share. Do we need four major banks in this country, sounded like Santander might depart the UK as returns nothing compared to Latin America, be better for there to be one less high street bank. GBH@ you are a cheery soul, best to hope for the best.

Barc , RBS and HSBC reported and shares went down...think when Lloy reports the share price could well go up to 61p on a technical bounce...it goes in a sequence down down down then up...

If you are 'certain' Lloyd's are going down tomorrow, just put yourself a small short on, compensate for you holding loss!!!

[gbh2] 19/2/2020 08:38

Prospects for tomorrow are looking dire for PIs, whether the Results are Good, Bad, Excellent or Rubbish management of the share price will continue!

I seriously considering taking the loss and moving what's left into something that's actually making money.

"Well if we are going to talk about gold and QE we would really need to get into a conversation about money supply and the age of deleveraging. I think it is a little bit beyond the Brexit gammons."

Why is Australia included in Eurovision Song contest...

Why does Israel play in the Euro's ? unbelievable !!!

[utrickytrees] 19/2/2020 08:14

Typical that two remainer regions Liverpool n Spurs think it's still ok to play in Europe. If it were Barnsley or Boston Utd they'd politely decline the invitation to play in their mincy tournament until they stumped up their full nato subscriptions.

Greenwash is not the answerBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: FEBRUARY 19, 2020Like some other media driven campaigns, the anti global warming movement is being damaged by its share of  hypocrites. Some   grandstand on the issue yet live their own lives ignoring the imperatives they set for others.It is most important that those who lecture the rest of us to change our lifestyles  to lower our carbon footprint show us by example how to do it. It is true that Miss Thunberg's supporters and funders have been very keen to show she will use trains and sail boats , though it has led to questions about how realistic it is to sail across the Atlantic and how green it is to need so many people to support one traveller's journey.Others in government and the business world seem to think the rules should not apply to them. Attending important environmental or business conferences apparently justifies international jet travel and chauffered cars whilst telling others they should not take a plane for a holiday and should leave the car at home. Nor should we regard diesel trains or even electric trains fed by the general grid with fossil fuel power as necessarily the answer. Trains with few passengers may be a high carbon way of travelling. The idea that carbon dioxide emissions should be the prerogative of those able and willing to pay premium prices for their comforts is not a good way to promote the cause. Many of the green answers are higher taxes on normal behaviours for personal transport and domestic heating, which the rich can afford.There is also the position of some countries that talk the talk on cutting carbon dioxide but do not cut their output in the way the UK has done. China for example buys into the problem yet keeps on increasing its own carbon dioxide output. It has been able to use the argument that as an emerging economy it needs leeway to increase its use of fossil fuels. Now it is better off and more successful surely it should ask itself if its conduct conforms with its concerns. It opens new coal mines and is very reliant on fossil fuels for its industrial activity. It is the largest source of manmade CO2 in the world. Germany closer to home and much richer than China also is a heavy user of coal and gas to generate electricity, and a big user of fossil fuels in homes and factories for heating and power.There is also a question of whether it works well enough to sell pardons in the form of offsets . There is now a market in various assets and activities thought to provide some offset to more carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere, which again allows those with the money to continue with fossil fuel comforts whilst paying for an offset.I do not wish to publish personalised attacks on named individuals in reply.

Last nights football.

What a difference in European officiating compared to PGMOL (Englands version of officiating).

conversation about money supply and the age of deleveraging. What a lot of rubbish , get a brain

[minerve 2] 18/2/2020 23:40

Some on here don't have much upstairs, or downstairs, if you get my drift.

LOL

[minerve 2] 18/2/2020 23:39

Oh, it's so so sad.

LOL

[malcolmmm] 18/2/2020 23:38

Some on here have foul mouths and are bitter and twisted, bad losers like Liverpool this evening

[maxk] 18/2/2020 23:35

Go on Min, give us the tablets.

[minerve 2] 18/2/2020 23:29

Well if we are going to talk about gold and QE we would really need to get into a conversation about money supply and the age of deleveraging. I think it is a little bit beyond the Brexit gammons.

[malcolmmm] 18/2/2020 23:17

Buy gold 🥇 a big rise is imminent what with western countries printing money at even crazier rates.
The EU is a failed concept it was always going to fail as a political entity with unelected and unaccountable idiots in charge that make laws that say that millions of tons of fish must be thrown back to pollute our seas , just look at Greece and Italy. Germany and France rule the roost. Without a deal with the UK the union will disintegrate even quicker .Why is it that so many refugees risk their lives to get to the UK rather than stay in Europe?

[minerve 2] 18/2/2020 23:02

Would that be getting out of Europe or the EU?


ROFLMAO!

[k38] 18/2/2020 23:01

Czech Republic makes a lot of right noises.. are they getting out after Italy ? or Germany, France and close friends will walk away with one currency and f#ck the rest.

Ok, I don’t want to get into a detailed argument (this will be my only post about him) about Liam halligan, but based in this article

He says france wants reforms to the EU budget to make good the loss for the uk, but then says they want to strong arm money out of other nations.

There’s lots of fluff about other nations being fed up, mindless endgames (as if we’ve kept a consistent position) etc. Quotes EU budget over a number of years to make the figures larger.


He writes The International Monetary Fund has upgraded its 2020 UK growth estimate, despite lowering forecasts elsewhere, with Britain set to expand 1.4 per cent this year – faster than France, Germany

This is more fluff. IMF forecast for UK is a 1.4%,actually unchanged from Oct. forecast for Germany is 1.1% down 0.1% (hardly a huge downgrade). Forecasts for next year not mentioned but are 1.4& 1.5%. Forecast for Spain which also doesn’t get a mention is 1.6% but let’s not forget IMF is project fear, so he doesn’t believe them anyway. Or only believes them when he wants.

Then says chancellor is an instinctive tax cutter though he’s never given a budget and tariffs (ie taxes) will add to our budget. It’s the UK consumer that will pay more.

Plenty more unsubstantiated guff, but let’s just leave it there.

Thank hvc. I don't think that time is here yet but with Brexit.. you never know. Anyway, I never rush when comes to invest unless I am sure.
