I thought loss leader was a good analogy. Some co's are down way below their value even after this mess and are true bargains. Lloy I fear is in the 'Reduced' section because it's past it's sell by :-(

Alp...Shake em up by all means, we all know even NGOs are corrupt in the way they administer much needed aid in disaster zones.

425Just because Trump does not understand chemistry and science does not make him a moron.

[bbalanjones] 24/4/2020 09:08

Pity Trump didn't say "here, I'll show you!

[alphorn] 24/4/2020 09:08

scruff - don't take it literally.

Lloyds only needs to mail out letters and it would truly be a Post Office. On its pure domestic strategy unlikely to see much progress for a long time. The impact of the recession has yet to hit it. (We have the same view I think).

It just keeps getting worse Trump is a complete moron!

gnr - the voting structures of these organisations makes them almost untouchable. The only way to achieve any change is to take a big stick to them. They need major change.

where did those 'facts' come from btw ?

In this not so supermarket imo the trick is to find the real loss leaders and there are plenty. Lloy is cheap but not because it's a loss leader but because for the foreseeable its junk.

cheshire pete "If the customer isn't happy, then query the bill. Trump not happy with WHO so he threatens to withdraw funding. Can't see why anyone would have a problem with that".

If the physician is not up to scratch, don't stop the oxygen to the patient in need.
If the guy had any humanity he would listen to the advice of real American businessmen like Bill Gates who are well meaning in thought and deed, care for the planet. Working with the WHO to improve it, eradicating diseases like polio etc. Now turning his attention to Aids, cancer, COPD etc. Trump the idiot is no deal maker, he's just a cheat.

The Facts:

President Donald Trump in 2018 had a job approval of approximately 75 to 90 percent among Republicans and 5 to 10 percent among Democrats. Gallup polling has found that, as of 2019, 47% of Americans are either "Democrats or Democratic leaners" while 42% are either "Republicans or Republican leaners"

Each month of 2020 sees his ratings slip down.

Even as the country confronts the greatest disruption to daily life since World War II, a series of new polls released this week show Trump’s approval ratings plateauing in the mid-40s, roughly where his approval rating stood a month ago, before the coronavirus shuttered much of the nation’s economic and social activity.

In other words, public views of Trump’s leadership in the coronavirus crisis are now breaking down along familiar lines of polarization: Americans view his performance during the pandemic about the same way they view his performance generally.

Throughout the first three years of his presidency, Trump’s approval rating has traded in a narrow band. But his failure to unite the country behind his leadership also reflects Americans’ judgment of his handling of the outbreak thus far: In poll after poll this week, increasing percentages say they think Trump is doing a bad job, and his administration hasn’t done enough to protect citizens from the effects of Covid-19.

Politico.

why ? Trump is miles out in front as candidate, contrary to what the Media is trying to get people to believe , the US people love Trump !! most popular President for a good while

[diku] 24/4/2020 08:49

What chance US elections get postponed until 2021?...Trump might see that as an opportunity...

[alphorn] 24/4/2020 08:35

You always have to have a loss leader. ;)

You are probably right but I've left it too late. I suppose cos I never saw this lot coming. Dont see it going down much more and will probably rise some just not much for a very long time.
The old saying 'you've not lost til you sell' I don't think applies here. My best bet imo is to wait for whatever rise occurs after this disaster calms down then take the hit and try to recoup elsewhere. What's your plan?

[mitchy] 24/4/2020 08:27

My worst investment since buying Centrica at 360p .

[xxxxxy] 24/4/2020 08:18

I am positive. Mostly.

[mikemichael2] 24/4/2020 08:17

Surely if you really think this is going nowhere but down and at best down a bit more, then you should sell.
