What do the french want - accept our laws - our aspirations - our controls -We left and this trans period is becoming a comic interlude before WTO.
We- EU want to set up an office in Belfast - just 2 ltrs FO.
Just as well frost is on the case - Ollie dodah wanted to sell us down the river.
Stop right there Mr Frost.

Post 9872 £39m????

Surely you mean £39 Billion!

Cash in hand is the best way the weakness here is telling.

I dont see the buy case and although many posters appear to
see the shares are offering good value, wonder why?.

Wider markets have experienced a nice bounce where as Lloyds is trading near lows.

[dead_cat_bounce] 21/5/2020 16:08

22 to 25 lows coming later in the year...

Hard brexit we'll go sub 20, in 2021...

Keep some cash on hand...

That is my plan too. Bought around 71p, so payout at par, and the income inbetween should see me right.
The Treasury Committe and the FCA are a bit proccupied for now, so they may not get round to it for several months yet.
Covid will keep Lloyds busy for a year, or more, and they can call trhem in 2024.
I doubt they will have any spare funds to redeem them before then, unless they borrow at rates very significantly less than the coupon. That may happen if Bailey drops bank rate to a negative number.

Anyone know when ben ben is going to be fixed?

You're going to need some heartbeat to keep the nation going.

At the moment UK plc is heading for life support...

Popcorn anyone...?

red - thx. I shall sit on the remaining LLPE until pay out. Still don't trust the Aviva Prefs.

If the UK does not agree on a deal with the EU, the country will begin trading with the bloc on World Trade Organization (WTO) terms at the end of the transition period on December 31st, 2020. If British negotiators deem sufficient progress not to have been made by next month, the UK will pull out of talks and spend the remaining six months preparing for a WTO relationship.

The UK has already restarted no-deal planning, according to the government.

Not mentioned in the presentation. In fact, the presentation is very light on detail, to the point that the financials are hardly touched on, except for how much they have paid out as compensation in the year.
They aren't interested in the shareholders, it comes across as an attempt to give away more than Bill Gates, who is at least giving away his own money!

I am going to listen to the Q&A later, but the questions are selected, so maybe not representative of the wider shareholder base.

[alphorn] 21/5/2020 15:35

red - no, was there anything about the Prefs? I noted the post on another thread about the Aviva Prefs.

[redartbmud] 21/5/2020 15:24

Has anyone bothered to listen to the AGM presentation.

There was an election ding dong, back in Theresa May's day, when she called the Labour Party Manifesto "The Money Tree".
Today, I have listened to how the bank has opened it's vaults and give away free £billions, to anyone who isn't a shareholder.
I can't see a dividend on the horizon for the next 5 years, at least.

[maxidi] 21/5/2020 15:24

Alpaca, at it again.... Calling people 'nutcase' just because he doesn't agree with them.. Tut Tut. No manners whatsoever!

"What nutcase would post that? Only someone who lacks any form of judgement and needs help. Would you take any opinion from that individual - no." ALP.

These remoaners are pathetic. I'm surprised he stays on here when 90% of posters can't stand the big headed git.

[alphorn] 21/5/2020 15:22

gnr - options are today less attractive. So what would you do think will happen with GBP which was my question.

[alphorn] 21/5/2020 15:20

#279. You assume plenty. The UK is my main investment focus - is that allowed?

[gotnorolex] 21/5/2020 15:08

Alp... I've been out of the options market since my Hoare Govett account became defunct and the new lot asked me to put my house up as security to reopen on new terms.

[k38] 21/5/2020 14:59

Any time, as long as I remember, after a buyback the share price falls, wonder why...

[diku] 21/5/2020 14:36

Buybacks good to artificially boost eps...insiders pay is probably linked to that...who is the winner?...

[mitchy] 21/5/2020 14:28

This is the third time visit to these lows. If the U.S takes a hit and EU talks are abandoned officially then we could see another significant drop. The Last trading figures were awful with no reason to be optimistic short term and by short term I mean the next twelve months.We might see a big rise on news of a new CEO depending on the man/woman but other than that I can't see many reasons to be cheerful.The pound is under pressure as well.Covid figures are improving .Good Luck.

[mikemichael2] 21/5/2020 14:21

Is this the 'real' reason for the Corona Virus??


China Is The World’s Largest Oil & Gas Importer, what better way to throw the rest of the major economies into recession and deprestion?

[mitchy] 21/5/2020 14:19

I'm thinking perhaps I should wait until the next trading update ?
