Definately a sell.
This is still just 30p in pre-consolidation terms so in my opinion a long way to go as the Government continue to reduce their holding.

You cannot compare the share price of Lloyd's with a mcap circa £33b to Metro with an mcap of only circa £221m. If/When Metro decides to stop chasing the banking herd and starts to specialise in high fee return products such as bridging loans, expats etc etc then they will flourish.
BC
Great results and another £50m share buyback announced. All looking good for the future.

Ask an anonymous chat room obviously!
I guess that with nearly all significant shorts being closed, Bacal effectively in charge, a NAV of circa £4.50 and upcoming results he would like to get some slightly cheaper before these significantly rise!
I guess you trying to boost sales of the FT???

I wonder if Farage has closed his short?
With Mcap of £270k I suspect the Directors will propose taking this private for a minimal sum resulting in cancellation from aim.
It would also be nice to see a large purchase from Dan - his last large purchase was around this level I believe?
Amers - Well I pulled the trigger and bought at 69.34 we will see!
Well I will be back in when I can get them in the 60s - probably tomorrow!
Matt - Well probably better now than when you were ramping this all over various boards when it was in the 15 to 18 region!
If NWG reversed their decision to withdraw from lending to the oil and gas industries then profits would be even greater. Rose needs start thinking about shareholder value rather than following the green herd. Banks should seek profits not headlines.

From the RNS "A further announcement will be made on Mr Butlers appointment" - Ducks being lined up for the sale of Sungas imo.
Good luck all lth.
BC
Well I do like the words "at least" used throughout the RNS - When the final results do come in I think we will all be over the "Moon".
BC
Another great update and a further £50m share buyback announced with new contracts continuing to roll in and existing ones renewed long term. All positive.
BC
Rather than a Challenger I would like to see Metro rebrand as the Alternative Bank. Rather than chasing the heard, serviced by the big four, Metro needs to become a Specialist - thinking bridging loans, equity release, ex pats etc etc high margin products ignored by the traditional banks.

So you believe a MM would accept a sell order @ 0.2435 @ 11.52 am at which time the SP was in a decline trajectory?
If so stay away from AIM!

JJ - I guess you remember the 10% annual bonus plus 5% Christmas bonus days? Oh don't forget the monthly draw for a new car!
