Lloyds Banking Share Discussion Threads

[careful] 07/3/2020 12:04

The most recent crashes of 2003/2009 have been about 45%.

We should be patient as we are only about 15% down.

Things could get much worse, this feels dangerous.

Minnie..I told you to get out of Capita, I hope you did!!

I was looking at Lloyds and wondering whether it may be time to get back in sometime soon. What was a total loser was their share buyback, billions spent on shares that have dropped 30% in value.

Same goes for the USA, Trump's misguided tax cuts for Corporate America has worked out a big loser for the majority of Corporations who operated huge share buybacks.

I am of the opinion that we are in a period that we will look back on with Warren Buffett's mantra..“Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.” Time and again, the value investor has used this philosophy to pounce on opportunities.

I have stuck with Warren on many occassions and will be heeding the above.

Good Luck to all the Sage's on this thread.

It'll cost you £70 for cup of kopi luwak (coffee beans marinated in civit poo) in Londond's China Town or twice as much in Kensington!

UK/EU talks
By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: MARCH 7, 2020
I held a conference in Westminster yesterday on the EU talks.

I was able to praise the government for its opening approach. They are right to insist on talking about all issues in a series of simultaneous working groups. They are right to say we want a Free Trade Agreement, not a comprehensive Partnership Agreement or Association Agreement designed for countries seeking to converge and join the EU. They are right to stress there is no read across from say fishing to free trade. Each has to be settled on its own merits.

The EU still seems to think the UK is the weak party to the talks and needs to make more concessions. It also seems to think the UK will be so desperate for a deal it will crack and concede on fishing, convergence of laws, powers of the ECJ and all the rest of their federal agenda.

The Conference provided unified advice. We do not need to pay to trade. An FTA is very much in the EU’s interest. We need to take control of our fish and land many more of them at home. We want to free ourselves of the controls of the ECJ, and will establish the right to shape our own laws as we see fit. Canada and Japan have FTAs with the EU but do not accept EU laws and the ultimate power of the ECJ. Our defence arrangements should be under our control, and our main collaboration through NATO. We should not impose any border between Northern Ireland and GB and not accept any continuing EU jurisdiction over any part of the UK from January 1. 2021.

Just to confirm what I was saying earlier:

In Italy, which has one of the oldest populations in the world, it stands at 4.25% - the highest figure.

On Thursday the Italian government said the dead had an average age of 81 and nearly three-quarters were men.

China comes second with 3.8%, followed by Iran (2.6%) and France (1.6%).

South Korea's mortality rate from the virus is the lowest at 0.65%.

These mortality rates are based on government statistics from the affected countries.

U.S adds another 273,000 jobs. Normal times would have seen a nice DOW rise on those numbers.

The final phase of this central bank loosening will be hyper inflation.
The system is not allowed to crash when it should.


A rich man's economics.
Look after wealthy people who own assets and have debt.

When inflation returns, and it will with a vengeance, the authorities will have to put interest rates up.

This will be the eventual final phase.
