EU officials are elected.

Hold my aching sides!

The debt is quite manageable really, but scarcity of shares should increase the share price
There are just far too many shares on the open market, I am also amazed a bank with a capital value of just 26 bil has not been snapped up by anyone, massive customer base and history coming out of its ears. Amazon could buy Lloyds with pocket money.

Bend over, Minnie.

Keep the Divi to keep Investors - pay down the debt - start an Investment bank branch again to boost income - that would be my approach...

Perhaps it's a little like what Warner suggested in #323885.

The €uro enthusiasts get rid of the awkward squad, which allows them to go full speed ahead with the one nation €uro thingy.


I cant think of why else they would propose such a preposterous set of conditions unless it was designed to fail.

jacko - 2 'observations':

- "My money is on the EU agreeing to an amicable deal". I have always thought so too. I am more than happy to give up some gains on a no deal scenario to have a amicable deal.

- "Tell me what's new, absolutely nothing". I would disagree with you on that one in that the market 'perceives' a new outcome. It may be right or it may be wrong but it perceives a change.

As I said 4+ years ago this is all more interesting than a soap opera. ;)

Never let boneheads make decisions.


M2..You cannot be serious, name a part in the history of the EU when boneheads didn't make the decisions.

I voted brexit because I wanted the decisions made by the boneheads I voted in..that way I could vote them out.

The Slugs of Shame are the winners of the game!

Hi Guys I am new here but have always kept my eye on Lloyds. I must say the market makers here must be making a fortune. Sell them high one day buy them back low the next. Even by Lloyds standards the recent fall has been quite extraordinary. This must be the only company where every analyst,broker,newspaper,tipster rates this share as a buy and absolutely nothing happens to it. Ok it did go higher very briefly 2 weeks ago and you would need balls of steel to day trade it.
I think a share buy back is a better long term option than a dividend.

imo of course

A former Australian prime minister has warned the UK to be "careful what you wish for" when it comes to EU trade.

Boris Johnson has told people and businesses to prepare for the "strong possibility" we will not agree a post-Brexit trade deal with the EU, and end up trading on "Australian" terms.

But Malcolm Turnbull said there was no trade deal between his country and the bloc, which meant "large barriers"





HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !

NO deal.

Bring it on.




Obviously no skin in the game like Cheshire.

They watch it on the telly after spending the afternoon in the cabbage patch. That's about it.

"Don't worry love, we 'ad rationing after WW2"

ROFLMAO!

[maxidi] 11/12/2020 10:09

NO deal.

Bring it on. We want our country back and freedom from the yoke of the fascist EU.

The EU is a failing idea which started out with good trading intentions but is now a very dangerous fascist club run by Franco German thugs.

We will excel without them and they will suffer more than we will when we stop buying their products.

Who is responsible for the error (IMV) of moving out of the international scene to become a pure domestic player (yes, the famous post office). It has become a British disease - the lack of ability to manage international operations/relationships.

Alp..The fat lady hasn't even gone through the scales yet, so early days as yet but I think Johnson is ready to walk and so he should. The million to one quip by Johnson relied on the EU being on the same page, they aren't they are all over the place and far too many EU cooks are spoiling the broth.

Tell me what's new, absolutely nothing, just as expected, all the naysayers are out in force doing their usual whining, the EU don't need supporters from inside, they have got plenty here putting their oars in.

Nothing is over until the Fat Lady sings. This will go until the end. My money is on the EU agreeing to an amicable deal.

Why is it that we have to always look forward to the next one...then the next one and the next...in the process who is hung up high and dry?...CEO's are merely a spokes person on behalf of the company, employees, shareholders etc etc and not a lot in between...

[crazi] 11/12/2020 09:55

The new guy is an Investment Banker through and through... I reckon big shift in strategy coming

[utyinv] 11/12/2020 09:54

Too many people have sung his praises but he has NEVER undertaken his prime duty of a CEO to look after his shareholders. The CEO has an army of directors and senior managers to run the business the CEO along with the Board sets the policy and apart from that (and intertwined with that), the main focus of the CEO is to look after his investors. He has capitulated on every issue and sold his investors down the river. Antonio has only looked after himself and milked the system. Everything that is corrupt with the corporate world.

max - I agree with you.........as I often do. ;)
