Reddit attack Short Funds so not Lloyds... They should attack the like of Tullow Oil and put Odey Asset Management out of Business once and for all! :-)

There is absolutely nothing that woman (UVdL) would not say to shine a plausible reasonableness light on her previous decisions and actions. Does she care a jot that of those vaccinated in the U.K., likely around 40% would have had EU sympathies? (40% based upon the age cohort and its Brexit vote). I am allowing her to be angry with the other 60%!!

I am not sure how much they will be concerned since the veneer of truthfulness in her position is gold-leaf thin. Those 40% may have different opinions on Europe than myself and others here, but I am sure they are generally far from stupid. Nevertheless, some will once again be worried that people in high positions are calling into question their medical safety and whether or not their government cares for them.

These are the actions of an adversarial and hostile body. It’s so tempting to react, but time may prove to be the better weapon, especially if the U.K. makes a move to renegotiate the WA on the basis that it was not entered into in good faith. We are 32 days in, and the lack of good faith is apparent no matter which direction you care to look. This cannot be accidental and ultimately, it needs calling out. As I previously said, no one or nothing gets the benefit of a free option.

Ultimately, it will be for the benefit of all Europe that the current EU structure is not just modified, but entirely dismantled. I fear very much for its future and their peace if this does not come to pass.

The share price got to 41p Intraday before. With a positive outlook you wonder WTH the share price is doing lingering around 34p...

Gove is a lot brighter than Doris by all accounts. Yet is hated by a fair number of tory mp's. Cant think why? Perhaps being a bit sneaky is the fault.

[utrickytrees] 02/2/2021 15:47

I think Boris used to give Govey wedgies at oxford & kneel behind him when he wasnt looking so Cameron could push him over & give him nipple cripples.

It is really, really difficult to have sympathy for the fishermen.

Still, that's what happens when every challenge to Brexit was met with 'Project Fear' with no sensible or meaningful discussion.

They've been played I'm afraid.

[lefrene] 02/2/2021 15:26

maxk, I suppose one has to look at who is hiding behind Doris' back, and when will they decide the moment is right to make a move. So there has to be an 'event' of some sort. The 'Deal' we were sold is plainly as bad or worse as going WTO. We were led to believe that we were getting a free trade deal, but the reality is that it's nothing of the sort, and who told HMRC to force those trading with us in Europe, to have to register for UK vat? My guess it'll be Gove perhaps with Liz Truss who who wields the knife, Gove seems rather brighter and more able than Boris.

How to get rid of Doris .. that is the question?

The Lloyds share price experienced a rocky ride in the last 12 months, falling from pre-pandemic highs of 58p to lows of 23.98p. A rally at the end of 2020 has prompted analysts to consider the upside potential in Lloyds for 2021.

Dividend payments could return in 2021
Risk rating attached to Lloyds is reducing
What are the signs Lloyds has the funds to absorb losses?
The value of the Lloyds (LLOY.L) share price has pared some of the gains from the back end of 2020, falling from highs of 39.50p in November to 33p at the end of January. Nevertheless, there is renewed optimism for a more sustained rally in Lloyds shares for 2021, just a few weeks ahead of the bank’s full-year results for 2020.

With Lloyds set to publish the full picture of the effects of Covid-19 on its 2020 operations on 24 February, attention is already turning to what the outlook is for the UK’s largest retail bank.

Could Lloyds dividend return for shareholders in 2021?

Lloyds' last dividend – pre-pandemic – was 3.2p per share. Anything similar this year would therefore represent a much greater dividend yield, given that the Lloyds share price has almost halved.

In December 2020, the Bank of England’s (BoE’s) Prudential Regulation Authority enforced a temporary ban on dividend payments to the shareholders of the UK’s ‘big five’ banks, including Lloyds. That ban has since been lifted, prompting excitement among Lloyds shareholders.

Do risk factors appear to be diminishing for the Lloyds Banking Group?
Understandably, investors marked down the potential value of Lloyds assets based on the increasing default risks posed by the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns. The threat of a no-deal Brexit was also looming large on the horizon. Fortunately, a Brexit trade deal was agreed upon, and the UK is forging ahead with its bold nationwide vaccination programme; which analysts believe to be positive signs for the Lloyds share price.

As evidence of this, both Barclays and Deutsche Bank have lifted their price targets for Lloyds in recent weeks. After their own shares rallied off the back of Covid-19 vaccine news early in December, Barclays analysts reported that Lloyds’ recovery promises to be ‘bumpy’ and that the ‘situation remains fluid’. Meanwhile, Deutsche Bank analysts anticipate that there are ‘brighter days ahead’ for the UK retail banking sector as a whole.

Lloyds also appears to have an encouraging risk profile for the year ahead. Its capital ratio, last recorded at the end of quarter three (Q3) of 2020, was 15.2%. As this represents the amount of capital the bank has access to absorb losses and continue to lend to customers, this illustrates quite a positive surge. The ratio is, surprisingly, up from 13.8% at the beginning of 2020.

5xy, I believe we have a 12 month 'get out' clause of the deal. Perhaps Boris (or his replacement) will grow a pair and enact it and just go WTO which is what most of us leavers wanted. The EUSSR reveals itself to be a fascist state, ie their way, and only their way, and we'll beat up anyone who differs.

[xxxxxy] 02/2/2021 14:24

British ways are not the EUSSR ways.Road to Separation.About 4 years, if that.
