Lloyds Banking Share Discussion Threads

I have just done a survey of the occupants of 10 houses in my neighbourhood.
40% retired, 11% children, 16% working and 33% “economically inactive”.
All the inactive ones had professional careers they have chosen to leave.
Who did the Home Secretary think she was talking to when she used the 8 million figure?
Sounds like an out of touch, ivory tower politician to me

I missed the earlier discussion - there were 400 posts since the last time I grew weary of this board. I am just trying to catch up with any smart new ideas before results (yes I am an optimist!). But Dr Bio always seemed civil to me, I am surprised by this spat...

Well what do we think for tomorrow chaps? Unfortunately I see a fairly poor set of results and a drop to 50p recovering later on. I should have listened to my instinct and kept the half I sold on the election result for buying back tomorrow. Instead I bought back at 58p

Priti Patel is intellectually inactive.

ROFLMAO!

[minerve 2] 19/2/2020 21:51

When her interviewer pointed out that 2.2m of the inactive were students, another 1.9m were looking after families and 2.1m were long-term sick, Ms Patel said: “If we invest in people and also if we put [in] the right investment in terms of new technology and skills, more people would be able to work in many sectors.”

Priceless. Stock government response to any intractable problem these days (non-existant) “technology221;. Irish border. Technology. Sick people who’ve possibly never been capable of work. Technology. Although clearly she doesn’t have the technology to do basic maths (and she certainly doesn’t have the intellect).

As for “investingR21; in people. Like you have done over the last 10 years you mean?

Farage agreed with me when I said that I had been prophesying a trade war..and worse..with the EU ,since 2014..but the media didnt want to discuss the blindingly obvious.

But they have much more to lose

I am only average and a hard worker..Liam Halligan could run rings round me...but I can read the runes, and have a view on things ,although I am no good at sums..that was why I didnt complete the PhD....I get most bright ideas from open minded non economists..but I have learnt to avoid natural scientists like the plague because of their astonishingly childishly naive uncritical attitude to left wing politics..
It is very kind of you,Pete, to regard me as a bright cookie..I am just old and a hard worker..but some of my ..grown up now and VERY successful[unlike moi]....students, return and take me to the pub,and tell me the truth about things...very,very interesting.

I often pass these gems on...The best one was from a very clever Russian who runs a trading desk in the City..he told me exactly why all of his colleagues were remainers..and it was nothing to do with politics or economics or culture..

It was highly rational and highly selfish and basically the same reason the politicos and media were all remainers.

SNOUTS IN THE GREAT EUROPEAN TROUGH[ a high pound and cheap foreign crumpet............,much better looking than the indigenous population and with no attitude.....]

"Brexit deal 'a different ball game' to Canada agreement, warns EU"


The EU is in no position whatever to warn us on anything..the more they do..the more the Boris backlash..you aint seen nothing yet..

Martello Towers..fishing boats..Now the EUHCR says that illegal immigrants have ZERO human rights and must be returned immediately whence they came

Funny this very recent bombshell European pronouncement never made it to the MSM.

But Boris knows!

The Europeans are wetting themselves and this is one of many last ditch reforms...too little too late,I am afraid.

Thought you were one of the bright cookies on here mr.elbee...respect.

I have a bachelors in PPE from Cameron's College..a Masters in Development Economics and what the Yanks call an ABD...half of a PHD .....but I am NOT a doctor [ except of certain people's brains] and I have taught the subject at College/ University level for 30 plus years..I am happy to talk to anyone without qualifications because they may know much more than me...I am only very average..But I do not intend to argue the toss over 0.1%...I am getting sick of free teaching here.

I would no more try to teach a Chemist or a geologist their trade than fly to the moon...but I might have an articulate view.
Liam Halligan is first class...the best of the journalist economists.

But bozo couldnt recognize quality if it jumped up and savaged his legs.

One view on some of what Lloyd's figures may show tomorrow.

Don't always agree with Dr Biotech, but I have no idea why the vitriol here. And while biologists in general don't have the best reputation in Mathematics, some of them are very good, and anyone with a PhD is numerate. Economics is mostly pretentious waffle anyway...

[bookbroker] 19/2/2020 18:54

The problem here is that 2019 is probably a watershed year, figures should be significantly better in 2020, irrespective of the outlook, it is the friggin PPI which will tarnish the last year. Do we want a strong banking system or not, if not would the last person please turn the light out, because beyond that it is a case of cash under the mattress, or sponge off your neighbour!

[bookbroker] 19/2/2020 18:49

Action - please explain how you come to the deduction that support lies at 49.5p, don’t confuse the Sept 2019 levels as support!
