"How about terminating next Monday? A bit too late perhaps; tomorrow better?"

Now let me see, how many years have businesses had to prepare?

And again more buying today.

[mitchy] 22/7/2020 13:36

There has been more insider buying than selling over the last " 3 " months. The chart clearly shows that.

[action] 22/7/2020 13:27

Silver up 8.5% . Precious metals. LOL.

Of course we would not hand over our ability to make our own laws.
But neither will the EU.

We are back where we started.

So who will have the legal authority to rule on disputes.
They say the EU.
We say London.
An impossible situation, can't see any chance of an agreement.

The level playing field is a similar problem.
We want a zero tariff free trade deal with the EU. as now.

So we import cheap food from America, then route in into the EU. Tarrif free.
We could bankrupt French farmers and Spanish fruit growers.

How do we resolve that one?

From the article:

"The stark truth for Lloyds Banking Group is that there has been more insider selling than insider buying in the last three months. Despite some insider buying, the longer term picture doesn’t make us feel much more positive. Insider ownership isn’t particularly high, so this analysis makes us cautious about the company. We’d think twice before buying! So these insider transactions can help us build a thesis about the stock, but it’s also worthwhile knowing the risks facing this company. For example – Lloyds Banking Group has 2 warning signs we think you should be aware of."

I suppose the lesson to be learnt is that when you see directors selling at 50p, it's probably a good idea to join them, but often by the time you get to know what's happening it's too late, the share price has already dropped.

Alp.

Basic stuff (cos thats all I know)


Common law = everything is allowed, except where specifically forbidden.


Napoleonic Code = everything is forbidden, except where specifically allowed.

Why not London indeed careful? It's well known for even handed courts.

Not so the political courts of €uropa.

In any case, why would you hand over your ability to make and interpret your own laws?

Project Fear Extra. Cold virus/the virus mutates. Don't hold breath for miracle vaccine. It is irresponsible to spread that false hope....Daley Bugle22 Jul 2020 12:14PM"While it is not thought the new form of the virus causes a greater risk of death, or lengthier hospital stays, it is helping outbreaks spread more rapidly across the world."So in other words - good news. The faster it spreads the quicker herd immunity will be achieved. It is not more dangerous than the original version - so not dangerous for most people.

Mutation of virus.nanny state22 Jul 2020 12:11PMAnd the BIG question that no one will answer except to parrot something about a potential vaccine - what are we going to do about it?Are we really going to destroy Education, Healthcare outside of Coronavirus, Jobs, Leisure and near enough the whole Economy along with our Human Rights and Civil Liberties for a virus that has a minimal effect on the vast majority of the population?Are we going to give all that up and rot away inside our homes following 'new normal' guidelines?Strange how the question never seems to be framed like that in the MSM.

manx
I presume that is tongue in cheek humour.
'Why not London.'

What chance post Brexit of the 27 countries transferring power to London.

27 countries, population 500m, combined GDP 20 Trillion, not having a representative.

Be realistic.

[alphorn] 22/7/2020 12:07

max - Maybe because of the basic differences in the legal systems. However, once it moves out of the domestic courts it is and will be subject to international law. That will not change.

Cant see any hope on fishing.
There is no way that the UK can accept politically any relaxation in our right to control our own waters.

The public think that this is a simple issue of sovereignty.

And there is no way that some EU. countries whose fishing industry will go bankrupt, will not veto any agreement made that denies the usual fishing rights.

Britain wants many areas of operation to be rolled over, especially in finance, but certainly not fishing.

Impossible to see an agreement, someone has to surrender.

[maxk] 22/7/2020 12:03

Why not the law courts of London?

The EU. is insisting that European Court rules disputes between the EU. and the UK on legal differences.

The UK in the past had a big influence on the laws and rules, and always had our representative Judge (of 28) on the ruling panel.

Not so after Brexit.

But can someone explain to me who will be the legal authority on disputes post Brexit.
What do we want here?

Lloyds to take minority stake in payments fintech Form3


The minority stake is part of a broader strategic partnership between Lloyds and Form3.



Lloyds Banking Group is acquiring a minority stake in payments fintech Form3, as part of a broader strategic deal aimed at improving the banking giant’s payment processes.

Founded in 2016, Form3 is a UK-based cloud technology provider of Payments-as-a-Service for banks and other financial institutions.

A key current focus for Form3 is providing support for the New Payments Architecture, the UK payments industry’s proposed new way of organising payments between banks.

According to Form3, the deal with Lloyds will simplify the banking giant's payments capability, meaning Lloyds can develop a cloud-based Payments-as-a-service platform.

The deal, it says, will also help in the banking giant's response to the NPA initiative and beef up its data services.

No details of the size of the stake acquired by Lloyds or financial details of the deal, which is expected to complete next month, have been disclosed.

Oliver Benz, director, Payments Technical Services, Lloyds, said: “Simplifying payments architecture while enhancing security and performance are critical to our digitisation of the group.”

“The potential of the cloud in payments is enormous and is firmly at the forefront of our strategy.”

"We are committed to working with the most innovative technology providers, including Form3, to deliver a range of solutions that push the boundaries of what’s possible while reducing risk and providing customers with an improved digital experience.”

Michael Mueller, CEO, Form3, said: “We believe this is an opportunity to support Lloyds’ transformation using our rapidly evolving technology.”

“The partnership is breaking new ground in collaboration by enabling Lloyds to utilise best in class software built to harness the unique properties of the cloud.”

max - can you expand a little on that article please. Lol

[alphorn] 22/7/2020 11:49

careful - you read me very wrong!

[alphorn] 22/7/2020 11:48

G2 - a very defeatist approach and you know that.

[careful] 22/7/2020 11:43

'Lets shock industry'.
Obviously you or your close family will not be effected.

We are talking about jobs and peoples livelihoods.
Things will get very serious if there is a serious recession.

Very few on this thread seem bothered about the threat to the economy of these disputes.
They do not see the risks.

Everyone hopes things will turn out well with the EU.and China.
But there is serious risk, don't fall for Boris optimism.

Isolationism and protectionism was one of the main causes of the 1930's global economic collapse.

Today would be even better. Light a fire under the politicians (all sides)
