300p proving impossible.

Interesting breaking news. It probably won't exactly speed things up at the DoJ.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions was questioned last week by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office as part of the investigation into Russian meddling in the election, the New York Times reported Tuesday. The meeting was the first time investigators are known to have interviewed a member of President Donald Trump's cabinet. The Times said Sessions was accompanied by a longtime Washington lawyer, Chuck Cooper, to the interview.

Apparently, the questioning lasted several hours.

Indeed, but with Lloyds on a near 40% premium to book it'll have to be an extremely large fine for it not to rise

[gcom2] 23/1/2018 14:36

Assuming that it rises when the fine is announced.

There won’t be any resistance at 300p when the DoJ announcement comes through

Interesting to read this from Evening Standard re HSBC and their $101m fine for fx rigging which was far lower than expected and suggestive of a less punitive approach by Jeff Sessions at the DoJ

300p tough nut to crack.

Friday is the release date of UK GDP, preliminary estimate: Oct to Dec 2017,

Before criticism is made of the rest of the EU, lets see how the UK performed overall last year.

Why is the CBI desperate to stay in a shrinking market?

[leedskier] 22/1/2018 18:40

On Monday, the CBI launched its most sustained attack yet on the government’s Brexit strategy by calling for full customs union with the EU and single market participation, even if it means abandoning the pursuit of separate trade deals with the rest of the world.

Given that the US Indices are on another roll tonight, how much, if any, weight do we give to the spin generated by London today that "worries over the US Congress impasse" caused the concern in London markets today.

Well good luck with Barclays - as fast as the shares are going up the book value is getting destroyed. Tangible assets fell from 290p at beginning of 2017 to 281p by end Q3 and now getting hit again by another 6p down to 275p because of drop in valued of deferred tax assets.RBS looking far more interesting, especially since LLOY now trading at a 37% premium to book

[cfc1] 22/1/2018 16:24

the run on Barclays today....apparently hedge funds moving into to ramp the stock says it all about the stock market!!!!! why not RBS...but we need that damn fine

[smurfy2001] 22/1/2018 12:48

Watching football on the pay to view channels at half time it is wall to wall betting ads. There must be many addicted to it.

If it is possible -- about which I am unsure -- the odds of success are probably even more stacked against the punters than when spread betting on shares listed on the London stock market.
