than a few got their fingers burnt this morning

Indeed that is so. I was with Man when they went belly up and was taken out. I have beenno fan since and sleep much better at night. enjoy the sun while it lasts

Trading volumes are low in summer so volatility is higher as big payers sit on their hands watching where it will be safe to go on holiday. or wether or not to head off to their villas in Greece or Portugal as the kids break up from school. Summer often provides opportunities for those playing the long game and disaster for those foolish enough to dabble in CFD's or spread bets. just MO

In the meantime it's good old AIM :" suck em in and then leg em over.

the message has always been the same, jam tomorrow fund raising today. There have been so many false starts with this company over the years. I might have been tempted to bail as well if I had been on a profit.

thanks !

Indeed. That said Lloy has been working as hard on improving its resilience in a long term los interest environment by growing business in other sectors . Not a one trick pony despite heavy Treasury and FCA interference over the last decade or so.

Held them for so long and lost so much money on them that I can't remember if there was much short interest in this company. Price movement first thing suggest there was a little. Anyone any ideas?

Brexit vs COVID

i would not worry too much over Brexit. The market is cowering before the VIX right now ,which is showing a rise of 33%. We are in the X Mas week after all which is normally thin volume and wild swings. So given the headlines right now we should n't be surprise that the bots have a bit of fun.

An absolute no brainer. I perused this issue a couple of years ago to be told that “ incentives” for R&D were already in place” remember MTFB and even further back Elan?

Haha sorry fat finger and predictive text ! Boris has to walk away as a deal will unlikely be without loss of sovereignty. Better to come back in the New Year to discuss terms after we have come out completely. Too much emotion at present.

If there is a deal it will involve a loss of sovereignty and the Got will be dead in the water. Boris will have towels away now and wait for the EU to come back after we have formally left on Dec31st

Or that the vaccine is going to sold at cost?

Looking beyond the screaming headlines, the dosing regime needs further clarification/ a little more analysis. That said the main issue are that it seems safe and effective and is a more "simple/traditional" vaccine which is cheaper and easier to store and distribute.

Maybe next time you should try and short another stock maybe?

FWiW, the vaccine may well appear at some point but that too has many questions that will need to be answered before there us a mass uptake. The virus is constantly mutating so there will be question marks over the reliability and efficacy of the vaccination. Once infrastructure etc are in place the kite be easily recalibrated for the next pandemic which no doubt won't be far behind. There are of course other viruses in other parts of the world for which vaccine development has stopped or not taken off at all. From what I have heard and read over the last few days the breathalyser is a neat piece of kit which, if production is not an issue, is imo capable of delivering what the company outlined in the presentation and return the country to some form of normality. There is therefore every incentive for the Govt to have look at this technology. A 24 hr "health pass" to watch a game, go to pub for few beers after, followed by a curry and a bit of clubbing all for the price of coffee.

I have been away for a while as there is nothing going. I have noticed that the debates are the same as they were pre GE but the regulars have acquired new ID's. Nothing has changed the UK will come out of recession and people will start drifting back to work from September so once more we will be an economy driven by sandwich chains and coffee shops.

debt

er no. They had to share up the balance sheet after having to take a massive hit against the value of the land bank. If the the shareholders had nt supported the massive rights issue the company would have gone t£ts up. simple
