"what are predictions tomorrow"

i predict gate will be proved mostly right, with an outside chance of £1.5B buyback. I predict db900 will get any post criticising him removed while not contributing anything meaningful himself.

"Trading Statement tomorrow"

Indeed and for the truly committed we can tune in to a webinar.

https://www.lloydsbankinggroup.com

I expect an announcement of great results to be immediately followed by a drop in the share price :)

"67Sam’s quite right!"

Unbelievably I see my earlier post has been deleted. A great entrance by DavidBrent900. I see he brings nothing of any use whatsoever.

"It's a pity Starmer can't deploy a peace keeping force on the Kent coast"

I think thats exactly what he should do, along with a physical presence on the french coast. Real time satellite surveillance to help prevent launches. Rapid intercepting speedboats on constant patrol to tow back the ones that do set off. I dont see why that is controversial and why we cant do it. A good use of defence budget, to my mind, and modern drone technology has been a game changer in war so why cant it do the same to prevent small boat crossings?

"This will be the last bad news to come out for Lloyds and share price will start a recovery"

Let's welcome Nostradamus to the Lloyds board. Tell us do you also read tea leaves and find subterranean water sources with forked sticks of hazel?

"health communism is moronic and a terrible way to provide any good or service"

The French system may well have some merit, would be interesting to hear from someone who grew up there. Out of curiosity, do you think "education communism" is also moronic? Would you do away with free at the point of delivery schools?

"all cosmetic surgery should be chargeable, as well as all gender realignment"

Agree. Cosmetic surgery already is chargeable though it should continue free where it's repairing accidental / criminal damage or birth deformities. I dont even pretend to understand why we think gender reassignment is necessary aside from the very few born intersex.

Gunsup is right when he pinpoints the real bill is down to a population leading unhealthy lifestyles, along with medicine now so advanced people live longer and a growing population. The cost of levelling up migrant health is also very high, though it is foolish to think this is the singular cause. Personally I think creating the NHS is the most civilised thing we ever did.

Done well to climb into the blue today. See if theres a sell off later.

"Fo those interested in the shareprice not bollatics"

Yes, I am. Thanks for link. I noticed similar yesterday here:

https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/1066027/could-lloyds-banking-group-dodge-the-mis-selling-bullet-1066027.html

I liked the bit where it says "any 'harm' found to have been suffered by consumers will be so marginal as to make demands for redress minimal."

"thinks it involves consensus, a political term". This is what you said.

"The meaning of consensus is general agreement; the judgment arrived at by most of those concerned. It is not specific to any particular context, such as politics or research." - This is my correction. Because you were wrong, just like you were in your original post. You cant handle it when anyone disagrees, just look at your own reactions in the last 24 hours.

"thinks it involves consensus, a political term"

The meaning of consensus is general agreement; the judgment arrived at by most of those concerned. It is not specific to any particular context, such as politics or research.

Dr Roy Spencer

And today you've added John Clauser, an expert in particle physics, not in climate. Still a long way to go to rival a consensus between 99% of climate scientists. You must have a very low threshold for tolerance to be provoked into using adjectives like scum and Nazi, simply because not everyone agrees with you.

"The miss selling issue is a concern that will play out over time and may yet have an impact"

Yes, they will probably have to fork out some cash. But I dont anticipate that it will be the end of the world, or as some here claim, that it will make the SP dive into the forties. It still appears to me to be a well run business that is in better shape than when I first purchased after the Brexit referendum in 2016. Their IT is notoriously bad but they have a technology strategy that has identified that and replace about 10% of its legacy stock. Often people cite challenger banks as the secret of Lloyds undoing but I think that is an overestimation. They continue aggressively closing branches so whether or not that affects how many mortgages they sell still remains to be seen. They have also diversified into an area that should also provide selling opportunities for other products to be renters who are wannabee homeowners. The SP always seems to take fright at any UK macro bad news so I dont ever feel complacent about it, but it remains my biggest holding. I could reduce now as the SP has reached its year high, but there we are, I very rarely sell anything as prefer to retain for income.

Often results day is followed by a drop in the share price, as even the "good news" hasn't lived up to market expectations. Some people sell prior to results day for this reason. I hold for the long term so I dont bother about short term buying and selling. Other than the car scam, I cant see there is much not to like. Strategic hedge will kick in to offset lower income from base rate falls. I think it's probably too soon to judge the success of their landlord activity.

You are escalating bloomers, because you cant handle facts. Your "source" info itself was Gab. The most famous thing about Gab is there is no moderation for removing posts that carry misinformation or harassing content. It si teh ultimate echo chamber. Despite that, even another poster issued a correction that Ivanpah was continuing at 33%, but yes guess what, you ignored it because it didn't fit with what you wanted to hear.

Calling me scum and equating me with a Nazi, really you are showing yourself up there. Your poor little ego cant tolerate any opposition at all. Now you try and deflect the issues by saying I need clothing and shelter, when no-one is even arguing with you about that. As I recall you last saying you still dont have any Lloyds shares, I wonder why you dont spend all your time on Gab and give it up here.

"67 you are a moron"

Bloomers, your level of aggression to anyone who challenges you is a good indicator of your obsessive conviction that you are right and that 99% of the scientific community are wrong. "Titling at windmills" is a misspelling of an english idiom that means "attacking imaginary enemies", so is actually a very apt description of you. Conveniently, you ignore the fact that you wrongly asserted the total shutdown of Ivanpah and then you followed that by wrongly asserting there are similar projects in the UK. I imagine you ignore these facts because you are not interested or capable of reasoned debate. Being driven by fanaticism instead, you respond by rubbishing contrary views and insulting anyone who does not conform to your dogma.

Bloom

Your title is wrong, it's nothing to do with windmills. Your first line is wrong, it's not shutting down. It continues at 33% capacity. Your second line is wrong, there are none in the UK. In the time elapsed since this was built, rising demand for solar panels has meant their cost has plummeted. This is one of the reasons behind the demise of Ivanpah. You are an intelligent man and all this information is easily available. There is enough controversy around net zero without you having to deliberately misrepresent articles because you want to be sloppy with the facts in a way that suits your agenda.

"Expect the same of virtually all these projects in the UK"

Ivanpah is a concentrated solar power plant. There are none of these in the UK.
