Trouble is they have no more idea of what to buy than you and I. I have a couple of shares which have beaten their suggestions for the past year which were not even mentioned
Falky good morning
End of January we could be in the early stages endemic to the health challenge and UK economy come roaring back, I think we'll see a accelerating boom in the economic cycle, raise rates to 1% will be good for banks might be more volatility with supply constraints that have shaped 2021 will probably restrain GDP growth
Clear capital markets target price of 70p looking good
Lloyds should do well in 2022, the bank is in a much better financial position now than many years ago and Covid - 19 is already factored in, so really from here, the only way is up with some standard fluctuations on the way. £1 should be achieved sometime in the next year or two. If they decide to dish out a special divi that should help the SP along the way. GLA.
Buy rating with a target of 70p in 2022 looks good

Yes Thatcher manipulated the youth unemployment as did Labour, but Blair did away with the problem by extending the school years.
Now people are adults at 18yrs and so keeping thousands more in higher education to 18ys and their mid 20s has all but done away with the youth unemployment problem. Youth unemployment was a major political issue, not now.
My son on turning 40yrs of age ,after higher education and university, said that he had been working for 15 yrs ! I pointed out that at his age I had been working 25yrs.
I remember working for 3 months in 1977 in the Job Creation Scheme, which was the predecessor of the YTS. I was in a squad employed at the local Golf Course going around digging out the drainage ditches to keep them clear! As has already been alluded to, cheap labour, nothing else.
YTS was pushed as the new apprenticeship in the 1980`s
But most just turned out to be cheap labour.
Crypto Currency The next big .com bust in 2022
And Aleady 2.5 Trillion is invested in Crypto Currency .... A changing world
Should have picked up that penny today going red soon
Productive education = good
Unproductive education = bad
Lots of non-degrees and non-jobs, like pantomime or fine art.
Better to have the youth studying than have them selling drugs on the street all levels of education are worthwhile for a small spark can lead to a great fire,give them a chance open the doors and reduce the costs ,an educated country is a rich country, have a great day.
I think you'll find that the use of that word was'transitory'.
BaffledbyZIRP
As long as we continue to encourage people to sign up to stupid degree courses nothing will change, another Blair idea, but it cut the youth unemployment statistics, which I think it was meant to .
I certainly do as well! I bought my house in May 1988 with a 100% mortgage from Bank of Scotland, and it was on a standard variable rate mortgage, not fixed. It really was a struggle keeping my head above water for many years after that, but mortgage free now since 2013.
I certainly do - my mortgage went from £220 to almost £400 in a matter of months - Albeit that wasn't just about inflation
Just as long as we don't have a repeat of the early 90s. I'm sure some on here will remember the eye watering mortgage rates and negative equity.
We don't seem to hear many central bankers and economists mentioning the transitory word nowadays

Central Bank " rate hikes " will not cure high push cost inflation.

Transitory until proven permanent maybe ? and is one of the most important questions facing investors.

"how will World Economies cope with Inflation"
More rate hikes in 2022 from central banks, good for Lloyds investors
True Plato, we have become a nation of complacent, lazy b@stards. Since Tony Blair opened the doors our working class has been largely imported. The plumbers and electricians you speak of are often Polish or Ukrainian. The NHS is full of agency staff and half of the full-timers are foreign. Meanwhile, we can't pick fruit or vegetables because it is beneath our dignity. All the while we were lulled into a false sense of comfort by cheaper goods flooding into the country from China and house price rises creating the illusion of wealth. What next? Less foreign labour, higher import costs, inflation, supply chain problems, material shortages. Perhaps we shall learn the value of labour once more and eschew the white collar professions such as estate agency and financial services? One can but hope.
More importantly, how will World Economies cope with Inflation !
A few agree with me Falky.
Am sorry that you seem falked off about that post.
