Britain should sell off RBS and give every 25-year-old �10,000, says think tank http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/16131620.Britain_should_sell_off_RBS_and_give_every_25_year_old___10_000__says_think_tank/

Government to pursue plan for multibillion pound RBS stake sale An announcement about a multibillion pound RBS share sale could come later this week, banking sources tell Sky News. https://news.sky.com/story/government-to-pursue-plan-for-multibillion-pound-rbs-stake-sale-11388204 IMO - So how might the sale off start? In large chunks to institutional investors as they did at the start with Lloy, or, daily sell off as they did with Lloys final batch Whole operation many years behind Lloy excellent recovery Timing is interesting - with �1bn+ divi cash coming onto Lloy shareholders accounts The contrast may be interesting - RBS daily sell off v Lloy daily buyback Really can't see me getting involved - solid returns from Lloy v roller coaster of RBS sell off #Shhh, don't tell the alco's hic A1

academic for me UTT - I'm not invested with RBS and don't have any spare funds to play with at this stage, #Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1

May be some interesting dips in the RBS SP if they start with chunks to the II's as they did with Lloy #Buy those dips A1

'Britain's most beautiful bank' opposite Royal Courts of Justice could be turned into a giant Wetherspoon pub https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/britains-most-beautiful-bank-opposite-royal-courts-of-justice-could-be-turned-into-wetherspoon-pub-a3848756.html #Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1

Upto �1,500,000,000 flooding on to Lloy shareholders trading accounts on Tues - wonder where it will end up? #Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1

Sorry James - I just paste the articles - if you need more details I'd suggest you contact Lloyds or DYOR Note you've ducked the chance to be included in my fantasy portfolio - its ok, I understand ;-) #Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1

Sorry James - the logic behind algo's (together with some posters on this board) is beyond me lol #Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1

Lloyds Bank ambassador calls for �digital first� approach Nick Williams, Lloyds Banking Group ambassador for the North and managing director for commercial transformation, has called for a greater focus on digital skills to ensure the prosperity of businesses and individuals across the Northern Powerhouse. Mr Williams said: "When businesses are performing well and looking to grow it provides opportunity for us to support them. At Lloyds Banking Group we have a clear commercial imperative to support the Northern Powerhouse. We know that businesses are the backbone of the real economy, and our bank thrives when the real economy is thriving. "We want to make the region a leading home for the UK's digital talent, and the Northern Powerhouse can help to make this a reality." https://www.insidermedia.com/insider/national/lloyds-bank-ambassador-calls-for-digital-first-approach #Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1

Online payment problems are continuing for frustrated TSB customers - five weeks on from the IT switchover that has caused a crisis at the bank. Some current account customers and some business clients still face problems making internet or app payments. The bank said experts from computing giant IBM, called in during the first week of the fiasco, would remain "for as long as it takes" to fix the errors. It has not estimated how long it will be until services return to normal. The ongoing problems come in a week when some customers have reported fraudsters emptying their accounts. In addition, some customers who have switched away from the bank have reported receiving letters suggesting they have died. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44253335 #Buyback those dips A1

Been a while since I added to my Fantasy portfolio James - would you be brave enough to make a suggestion lol #Buyback those dips A1

Usual Saturday update, I started this fantasy portfolio in 2016 to challenge various posters perception that Lloy is 'the worst share ever' or a 'dog of a share', on the 8th Oct 2016 I invited WL/Newchurch to choose an alternative ftse 100 company so I could run a comparison On 8th Oct 2016 - 1000 quid bought 206 BP. shares & 1905 Lloy shares Today's value BP. 206 @ 555 = 1143 Lloy 1905 @ 65.7 = 1251 In April 2017 Invest4life suggested I add Glencore - On 22-4-17 - 1000 quid bought 335 Glen shares & 1553 Lloy shares Today's value Glen 335 @ 377 = 1263 Lloy 1553 @ 65.7 = 1020 In May 2017 Pugsy suggested I add Ocado - On 22-5-17 - 1000 quid bought 331 Ocdo shares & 1392 Lloy shares Today's value Ocdo 331 @ 887 = 2936 Lloy 1392 @ 65.7 = 914 In July 2017 Nucky suggested I add RBS - On 12-7-17 1000 quid bought 384 RBS & 1512 Lloy Today's value RBS 384 @ 290 = 1114 Lloy 1512 @ 65.7 = 993 In July 2017 Utrickytrees asked that I add BARC - On 30-7-17 1000 quid bought 479 Barc & 1504 Lloy Today's value Barc 479 @ 206 = 987 Lloy 1504 @ 65.7 = 988 This weeks observation - BP. falls back following strong climb, Banks still much neck & neck, Ocdo climbs an extra 10% following last weeks deal announcement Overall conclusion - A very basic comparison that does no include divi yield, IMO anyone still suggesting Lloy is 'the worst share ever' or a 'dog of a share' seriously need to examine their concept of investing. #Buyback those dips but Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1

UTT - I await Lloy to do an Ocdo - while I wait I receive an above average yield ;-) #Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1

James - at the AGM AHO outlined the boards thinking, ie to underpin the 'normal' divided with 'normalised' increases with the added flexibility of buybacks v special divi v acquisitions depending on events - I don't know about your circumstances James, and I understand some are driven to chase rainbows, but for an income investor such as me Lloy policy means - 'the only way is up' #Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1

Lovin my win win situation James - SP drops and my holding is enriched with huge buybacks - SP goes up and my pension pot/holiday fund swells - all tax free within my ISA & SIPP, all plus a market leading yield, how crazy is that? #Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1

Many thanks to all who took part in today's plump 13.9m buyback #Buyback those dips A1

Noel Edmonds says there's 'no such thing as death' in bizarre interview: 'You cannot die' "You cannot die," he insisted. "My energy will return to where it came from, part of a massive, incomprehensible universal web of energy." Edmonds also rambled about the dangers threatening mankind, stating: "The biggest problem we have is not Ebola, it's not AIDS, it's electro smog. "Wi-fi and all the systems we are introducing into our lives are destroying our own natural electro-magnetic fields," the TV presenter added. https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/838952/Noel-Edmonds-no-such-thing-death-bizarre-interview-2015-energy-prostate-cancer-yoga-mat #Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1

Publicity - all about Mr Blobby - AHO pay fades to background #Shhh, don't tell the algo's A1
