Lloyds Banking Share Discussion Threads

Just seems that the whole matter is Brian Rix.
Treason - told lie after lie - no deal is better than a bad deal- her deal was to stay and pay -the EU has not altered its stance - you leave and must follow our rules on state aid fisheries etc
This EU circus is just what it is - full of Cocoas - why bother to go through the motions - and the WA is even a bigger headache - so bin the lot NOW.
Back to the clowns who are said to be managing our flu outbreak.
I dont follow the statements that more ppl have tested positive and the increase in the rate as per each 100k residents.
Should 100 ppl have been tested in say June with 10 positive - the rate would have been x (10%). Remember 99900 had not been tested. Should 500have been tested in the same area in July with 80 positives the rate would have been higher (16%)but meaningless because 99500 had not been tested.
What assumptions are made to identify areas for lockdown?

Serious thoughts: if we didn't have so many economic migrants in England, the number of cases of covid would be massively lower and more Brits would be able to get the healthcare that they need; if we didn't have so many migrants in England far fewer Brits would have been killed by bombers, our police would be less stretched and we wouldn't have the housing crisis; if we didn't have so many South Asian migrants in England, fewer young girls would suffer from grooming..and so on.

So what good have the majority of them done for this country?

Actually the modified strains have been found to be less serious.

Renowned EU Scientist: COVID-19 Was Engineered In China Lab, Effective Vaccine "Unlikely"



Given the many mutations of SARS-CoV-2, it is extremely unlikely that a single vaccine that blocks the virus will be found. At the moment 11 different strains have been identified: the A2a genetic line which developed in Europe and the B1 genetic line which took root in North America are more contagious than the 0 strain originating in Wuhan.

"Genetically modified to mutate into more serious strains outside of China, clearly.
Act of War if found to be true"

Well, what a surprise, 10 crammed into a two up two down!!!

oops wrong thread

[alphorn] 21/8/2020 16:18

PC - agree, when to jump is the question. I did not think that the markets would stay this high for so long.

[patientcapital] 21/8/2020 16:05

Alp., some. As an old fashioned investor I do find some of the valuations hard to accept. The premium ratings today's markets put on any growth are high. How long the boom will last for though is moot. Something will have to give.

carer, how much is Lloyds affected by the seizing up of the repo market last 17th September? The ripples from that event are reckoned to have cost circa $14 trillion so far, as a large number of banks teetered on the brink of bankruptcy. If you don't know what I'm talking about go to www.waalstreetonparade.com and put 'repo market' in the search box. This huge global event has gone completely unreported in the msm, but oh look there's this grossly exaggerated flu bug to panic about.

[alphorn] 21/8/2020 15:54

max - but it is ok for us to (try) and control the pricing of the mega US groups selling prices so that they pay some local taxes...............or is that different? ;))

[carer] 21/8/2020 15:49

This share is languishing at half of level six months ago. It has something to do with the pandemics, but a little bit dramatic losing half of the value. Until the company paying the dividends, the share is going nowhere. The management needs to be refreshed. The CEO is not jetting off to Singapore again with his your girl friends now, I guess.

#922. PC - no; hope you did?

"anti democratic Brussels serfs"

Says yet another Cummings stooge. 🤣🤣🤣

[minerve 2] 21/8/2020 15:32

"Why not? They want to flog stuff to us, and we to them, they cant expect to control our pricing as part of the deal."

They are not looking to control our pricing. They are looking to control our competitiveness. And who can blame them? They are not a charity. They aren't going to stand and watch a neighbouring country run a steam-roller through human rights and employment laws and still give them unfettered access to the EU at the same time. That would give UK victorian capitalists a competitive advantage. Sorry, cannot do. Take your filthy backward business elsewhere. They have better values.

[lefrene] 21/8/2020 15:28

The imbalance in value between what they sell to us and what we buy from them is 15% versus 85%. The EU has benefited greatly for decades from selling us stuff that we could buy cheaper elsewhere, whilst we have made far less inroads into selling them stuff. Over 80% of our exports go elsewhere in the world, so why are we bending over backwards to appease these arrogant users? Danegeld didn't work in the 9th century, and it won't work now, because the only thing that wins real respect is strength and resolve.

If they don't want to let us buy their tat, that's fine by me, they lose out many times over compared to the very much smaller quantities that they buy from us. Why is this still going on over 4 years after the vote? Oh yes a civil service stuffed with self serving anti democratic Brussels serfs, and a bent Speaker, and the odious Treason May.

loganair,

Once Boris is back from his camping holiday measures will be put in place to build the economy. Boris was accused by his latest partner for being selfish (tiff reported in media). Nothing can get in his way. If you think about Brexit obstacles and in response to questions about business he said F..k Business. So I cannot see anything so important as to take him away from his precious holidays. Same applies to the politicians in Brussels, got to have their Aug holiday.

Anyway, come Sept (2 weeks away) kids back at school, workers back at work the economy will start to pickup. The big boys in the markets are on holiday leaving the youngsters in charge with a directive to make money through shorting. The big boys will come back from their summer retreats to invest money that the lackeys have made.

Once Sumak has realised that his generosity in giving away tax-payers money to fund the furlough system has been taken for a ride, we will get back to following conservative policy, - hopefully!

If people can go on holiday, go to the pub then thay can go to work!

With our generation it was work first then leisure, today too much emphasis is paid to leisure and not to work. Culture change needed.

The US has had less deaths (pro-rata vs Population) and the Dow Index is nearly back to pre cover-19 levels. The FTSE is still 35% down and like Uty has mentioned in previous posts, for years the FTSE has followed the Dow and the divergence occurred in 2016 due to brexit. Once Brexit is finally done and people stop spreading doom and gloom and the sun will still shine the day after the UK leaves, just watch the FTSE start to rise. The reason why the Dow has recovered is because they didn't have the furlough system and people were forced to go back to work to survive.

We just might start getting the companies that form the FTSE being valued properly. If the Dow is worth 27785 then the FTSE should be worth 14,000.

Why not? They want to flog stuff to us, and we to them, they cant expect to control our pricing as part of the deal.
