RE: The great & mighty Lloyds3 Aug 2018 11:08
MrBubbles, what frustrates me is that Lloys always seems to be dogged by 'perception' problems, people seems so willing to jump on any slightly negative item and give it undue weight,
A few example
* Ppi is now all but finished now, another £1bn this year is relatively small fry compared to what has gone before and to what is to come, but the mere mention of Ppi for Lloy is far larger,
* RBS profit down yet SP up on a divi payout it may struggle to maintain?
* Barc allotted the same for Ppi yesterday but that's not all over the press and we don't see people calling Barc 'a dog of a share'
* Yesterdays interest rate rise is likely to boost Lloy bottom line by 300m but no one is jumping up and down about that
And with regards to return to shareholders, once again misperceptions - through divi's and buybacks virtually all of Lloys post tax profit was indeed returned to shareholders
Thank you Chris, to clean up your typo's
RBS share price 258 by 2p = 0.77%
lloyds share price 63 by 1.07 = 1.69%
Anyways - people must make their own decisions - for those who perceive the grass greener elsewhere the 'sell' button is right there
