lloyds figures, not impressed!!

Will we see 50p?

[gambill] 31/7/2019 12:47

are we going to have a divi ????

[y1phr1] 31/7/2019 12:45

45p coming

[ianood] 31/7/2019 12:44

JONNYM - the buyback is handled by Morgan Stanley and UBS to make it independent thus avoiding claims of insider trading.

[gambill] 31/7/2019 12:43

Did we get a divi ????

[montyhedge] 31/7/2019 12:41

50p resistance I see being tested.

[tradejunkie2] 31/7/2019 12:39

Well let's take a positive take.

Lloyds can buyback more shares at a cheaper price.

😂🤣

[bargainbob] 31/7/2019 12:37

Only PPI hit that was to be expected , only one final PPI hit maybe needed if at all .
Great price to get in imho.

At one time every tracker was invested in Partygaming - enough to put anyone off. On the other hand, the Woodford situation would put you off managed funds.

In 1916 Russian government bonds were regarded as one of the best and safest investments in the world. A year later they were worthless.

I'm not sure there are any 100% reliable rules.

Essential - agreed it is area to keep an eye on, though Commercial Loan impairments currently small compared with Retail.

The buy back programme appears to be carried out in a thoughtless manner. Management declare themselves satisfied with progress in acquiring stock but they must have realised that their interim statement was likely to disappoint the market.They could have kept their powder dry and picked up a shed load of shares today at less than NTA value.

[montyhedge] 31/7/2019 12:22

Lloyds can't keep on cutting costs, it catches up with the figures in the end.
These were very disappointing.

[buywell3] 31/7/2019 12:06

Most likely correct

[vauch] 31/7/2019 12:05

Many Banks went under after the credit crunch or got acquired when they were in trouble eg:

Northern Rock
Bradford and Bingley
Abbey National
Alliance and Leicester

And the government of the day saddled Lloyds with a couple of them.
I f Lloyds had not taken on two of them it would have been the best performer out their.

Ken - I guess there was some script there - but can't now remember what it was,

[kenbachelor] 31/7/2019 12:01

Broadwood - I wasn't asking for it to be updated. I just thought there was something that should be in the space and I wasn't seeing it.

[broadwood] 31/7/2019 11:58

Hi KenB.

I've not been keeping up. Thought I'd give this thread a rest - actually havn't looked
at it for almost a year.

Will endeavour to update the heading.

Regards.

To add cafeful, if you ever get to the point where you think you can foretel the future, then best to give up. Accept you are dealing with unpredicatability brought on by unknowable asychronous events and you're half way there, otherwise you'll remain a loser overall, left crowing about the odd lucky guess during a work break.

[minerve 2] 31/7/2019 11:49

I hate trackers. OK if you are in a bull market, don't work in a bear market. 0% of my portfolio is in a tracker.

Now is the time to have cash aside and incrementally invest in opportunity.

[willoicc] 31/7/2019 11:48

Alphorn my concern about imported cars is that the UK already has too much overseas debt and the debt pile is getting bigger every year.

The more we import, the more manufacturing jobs we lose and less Income Tax, National Insurance and Corporation tax are paid within the UK.

The less tax collected by the Government, the more pressure on public services.

That is why I hate the EU. We pay £ billions every year to make ourselves poorer.

While I sympathise with sheep farmers, they are a very tiny part of the UK economy and doing a deal to suit farming will not solve the problems of the loss of industrialisation.

Agriculture is not a way to make a country rich, unless you have the Prairies or the Steppes.

I would also add that you do not know anything about my finances and even less idea about what car I can afford to buy. Please refrain from being gratuitously offensive.

[buywell3] 31/7/2019 11:46

Charts rule OK

That was a nasty Head and Shoulders

I did warn you guys 50p was coming didn't I ?

[buywell3] 31/7/2019 11:45

Well the LLOY results have gone down like a damp squib as buywell thought

My call of 50p now looks very likely indeedy


FED rate cuts are now going to whack the UK Banks

It is now happening and the cuts will be this week , another before xmas and one next year circa june/july.


Boris needs to get rid of Carney pronto and get a guy in that knows his stuff.

Carney got it wrong with his early rate cuts

We need a BOE Governor that believes in Brexit

We also need the GBP now supporting with a rate rise NOT a rate cut ... which is most likely what Carney will do , because he is a May/Hammong remainer stooge

[shy tott] 31/7/2019 11:37

Put your money for others to manage, and they'll get rich, not you.

[jordaggy] 31/7/2019 11:34

Buying shares should only be for some fun. Most of your portfolio should be in steady trust funds or trackers. You'll sleep easier.
