Mr elbee

Lets hope they do a "Banksy" and throw flowers at each other, somehow i don`t think that will happen.What a lot don`t seem to remember is that China backs Iran.
Now i wonder and i`m being serious, has China slipped Iran a few Hypersonic Missiles?
Russia and China have these Missiles which America and us (England) have no answer to.
China did a test a couple of months ago and one of their missiles covered 1500 miles in 4 minutes.England and America are several years behind China and Russia with this type of weapon, apparently they deveolped these missiles to take out our Aircraft Carriers and Americas.
Until we find a system to combat these missiles we should be very wary.

Mrs Braverman told Sky News: “The thought police instructed by the mayor of Brussels saw fit to try and undermine and denigrate what is free speech and free debate.

“I remember the words of Mrs Thatcher, and I’m going to misquote her, but the more ridiculous and far-fetched and extremist their attempts are to silence us, the more cheered on I am because it just shows that they’ve lost their political argument.

“What really concerns me about what has happened here in Brussels is that, only last year, the mayor of Brussels was happy to host the mayor of Tehran.

“And yet he seems to be pretty offended by democratically elected politicians, people from all over the European continent, who are giving voice to millions of people talking about things like securing our borders.”

I may sound stupid but I will ask the question anyway, with the buys in excess of 10M of the sells why is the share price keeping low? It has happened most days since we went ex divi?

ADR's was over double average vol last night with down move so they most probably knew the direction today. US crooks rule the markets.

Lloyds Bank Appoints Linda Weston as Head of Commercial Cards


Lloyds Bank Business & Commercial Banking has appointed Linda Weston to the newly created position of head of commercial cards, effective in June.

Weston will join the bank with 25 years of experience in the cards and payments industry, including roles at Barclaycard Payments, J.P. Morgan and RBS, Lloyds Bank said in a press release emailed to PYMNTS.

In the new position, Weston will support U.K. businesses with their working capital needs and support the group’s wider strategy, according to the release.

“Linda brings a deep understanding of supporting businesses with their working capital needs,” Chris Loring, managing director and head of commercial lending and working capital at Lloyds Banking Group, said in the release. “Linda will spearhead our plans to deliver exciting new products and services.”

The creation of the new role of head of commercial cards at Lloyds Bank follows the expansion of the bank’s existing Working Capital team to create new, dedicated Invoice Finance and Cards teams, per the release.

This new structure supports the group’s wider strategy and reflects its plans to deepen relationships with clients and develop new products and propositions that meet their needs, including expanded delivery of traditional card products and electronic pay solutions, the release said.

“Lloyds Bank is investing significantly in new client propositions and services such as enabling startup businesses to apply for cards online in minutes,” Weston said in the release. “I’m thrilled to be leading the newly created Commercial Cards product team, helping the U.K.’s businesses to be more efficient and manage their working capital and payments needs.

In one recent development aimed at helping businesses, Lloyds Bank said in October 2023 that it expanded its partnership with consumer-centric commerce platform FreedomPay. With this collaboration, merchants using Lloyd Bank’s Bank Cardnet have access to FreedomPay’s payment processing capabilities.

In September 2023, the bank teamed up with Visa to launch a virtual card solution for businesses. The solution created by this partnership allows for efficient online purchasing by instantly issuing virtual cards that employees can request to make work-related purchases such as subscription payments or business travel, Visa said at the time.

Oops...

Bank of America has reported a drop in earnings, as provisions for bad debts increased and profits from high interest rates faded.

BofA’s net income fell to $6.7bn in the first quarter of this year, a 18% drop on the $8.2bn it made a year before.

Its net interest income (NII), the money a bank makes by charging higher interest on loans than deposits, shrank by 3%. BofA says “higher deposit costs more than offset higher asset yields and modest loan growth”.

Provision for credit losses have risen to $1.3 billion, up from $1.1bn in Q4 2023 and $931m a year ago.

Can't see this getting much weaker than 50p. Did some Bed and ISA today to move a chunk across and avoid the tax on future divis, plus I still think upside of 60p here by Christmas assuming the provisions made are enough for the car loan rubbish.

There is speculation and Micky Mouse and then there are 'brokers' (for want of a better description)forecasts
There are plenty companies running a great business and then some herbert fresh off his economics course that he got through UCCA sticks his size 6 Docs in. No wonder the LSE is in a mess.- its like the rest of the bloody country - run by delinquent activists. As another couple of UK companies taken over by the US. Speculation will soon have take place elsewhere

[gotnorolex] 16/4/2024 09:32

Speculation is the name of the game!
