Worth a punt at 47p should be shortly.

For the Cautious: Lloyds Banking Group

Bailed out by the Government after its rescue takeover of HBOS during the financial crisis, Lloyds has finally repaired its balance sheet and returned to some sort of normality under chief executive Antonio Horta-Osorio.

Recent share performance has been disappointing, well down from its May 2015 levels of around 90p to 51.51p.

After the support from us taxpayers, this bank is now in a much better state. It was a big offender on PPI mis-selling and has paid billions in compensation, but most of those costs are now behind it.

As a longer-term investment, with the dividend restored, Lloyds looks attractive.

But as the share price shows, the market is nervous about banks in the Brexit discussions.

Lloyds’ fortunes are closely linked to those of the UK economy, and this has depressed the share price in the turmoil over leaving the EU.

"Loyalty came at a cost for Nick Munday - a cost that can be calculated at £1,250 a year.

The 61-year-old had been a home and contents insurance customer with the same provider for 20 years, and was eventually paying £2,000 a year.

One phone call querying the cost reduced the annual premium to £750.

Now the UK's competition watchdog has said millions of unsuspecting customers were being exploited by bad practices by firms."

Well he's a lazy mug. If spuds cost twice as much at one shop than another next door, what do you do?

Initiative Q is an attempt by ex-PayPal guys to create a new payment system instead of payment cards that were designed in the 1950s. The system uses its own currency, the Q, and to get people to start using the system once it's ready they are allocating Qs for free to people that sign up now (the amount drops as more people join - so better to join early). Signing up is free and they only ask for your name and an email address. There's nothing to lose but if this payment system becomes a world leading payment method your Qs can be worth a lot. If you missed getting bitcoin seven years ago, you wouldn't want to miss this.

Interesting reading..If the politicians were honest about Brussels, 95% would have been leavers. But hey, they do love the euro travels and the luxury hotels with all expenses paid by idiot voters.
