Looks like that's been the smart move to make. Its good to see a little more volume although there is still some idiotic 1 share at the time nonsense going on. If volume continues to build we may just may have seen the bottom for now, especially if we get wind of a possible breakthrough in the Brexit impasse. The sector is an absolute no brainer eat these levels given the scale of returns already committed to over the twelve months ahead. SP volatility has done us no favours imo as this has often obscured an appropriate entry point. gla and fingers crossed

£600m return on a market cap of £5.6bn. Seems to good to be true for the institutions it would appear and not enough to offset the absurd share price volatility we have sen over the last 12 months. It never ceases to amaze me how just a hand full of shares can impact the SP tp the extent it seems to day in day out. Today was no exception as opened at more or less the low on an uncrossing volume of just over a 100k.

fretting over higher build costs of 4 to 5%? We are down 25% off the highs for the year. what a joke!

another bout of ridiculous price action in this sector on the bank of supportive house price data. Brexit panic rules the market once again. Sterling `'plummets" agains the Euro (less than 05%) as talks seems to go nowhere. We have just had a divi and are due a TU tomorrow which is unlkely to be any worse than anyone else's we have had to date.

One of my favourite places to spend a few days too many good spots to. Visit ! Walk walk walk and enjoy Grady coffee great wines fab food and wicked palinka try as many flavours as you can

I wonder how many "contributors" can be bothered to spend any time on filling out this survey month in month out. One would like to think they'd have better things to do with their time. Th surveys have been persistently negative for years in apparent contradiction to price trends reported by the house builders. We have just has Persimmon and Redrow both of whom posted decent enough figures. The saying "you pay peanuts you get monkeys" springs to mind

nokesa

Sterling is still firming = compromise in sight?

the low volume muggers keep on milking this share i the full knowledge that our overpaid BoD could not give a monkeys.

somebody gassed the Kurds at Hilabja

well maybe but the bell ends that have been playing this share clearly have nt finished yet judging by the way the SP is being walked down again on tiny sized trades. Pity as it was looking good for a little while this morning.

I don't really see why its an issue at all. Strikes me this issue was made one for arguments sake. Equivalence in any sense is logical as seeks to secure common standards. Its laughable to think tat as far as EU negotiators were concerned us leaving the EU would start a race to the bottom in terms of standards. Utterly laughable and nonsensical and deliberate negotiating smokescreen. Here are key issues such Fisheries and agriculture which are key and of course financial services but they have obviously come to the conclusion that they cannot replace London as an international financial hub and forced between benefitting the US or preserving the status quo from regulatory perspective again the choice was never really in doubt. As for NI there re plenty of "soft" borders in Europe. Weaponising the the boded between the Republic and NI by Barnier is a disgrace. The big players in the EU rightly became concerned withe the fact the Barnier seemed to believe that he was above his paymasters and it was always a matter of tine before he was reigned in to avoid him screwing things up big time by forcing us into a corner from which a "no deal 'was the only remaining option. With populism sweeping through Europe Brussels will have to think hard and fast if it is to keep the Federalist experiment alive. A good rapport with us on the western flank is paramount as it seeks to confront the unrest in the South and East. After-all when push comes to shove they know that we play fair

Indeed! Mood music from EU is improving as practical realities appear to overcome dogmatic shortsightedness on the part of Barnier and his team. The idiotic notion that the UK should be punished was never going to prevail given the financial consequences to the rest of the EU of a no deal. Its not done yet but getting close it seems. Hopefully this will mean the end of the constant "remoaner carping we have had two endure on this board over the last coupe of years.

Would be nice to think one or two of the institutions beginning to recognise the fact that despite the cavalier attitudes of house builders BoD's towards their shareholders the business dynamics are considerable easier than many other investment opportunities. The Budget yesterday must have removed some sources of angst peddled by the fake news manipulators of the sector namely help to buy and SD providing clarity wrt the timing of the scheme's winding down and the perennial issue of sandbank "manipulation" by the big builders. For the next few years at least the sector looks set to remain in the sweet spot thereby relieving Boards of having to think of anything "clever" to improve margins and or cash flow. Prejudices put aside and holding of noses should be ok for a year or two for II's, the inevitable Brexit turbulence from time to time notwithstanding. For reasons difficult to fathom the sector has been put through the ringer over the last four months or so often on questionably low volumes of activity. Yes house prices have softened but the impact on earnings and cash generation, a few outliers excepted has been fairly muted to non existent and well within companies abilities to absorb without threatening cash returns to shareholders. "Fortune ventures the brave" the saying goes be good to see a bit of transaction volume come back into the sector and take price activity away from the prop desk bot manipulators.

Cause the lse show tw as the third highest volume of shares traded today at 76 million

About the 40 million shares late reported.

I think the point was made that there are enough low LTV products around now to help first time buyers onto the ladder. Which is probably fair enough.

what does this have to do with Lloy?

Its interesting to note when you look at the map that the regional resistance to a second referendum seems to follow a similar pattern to vote leave. There certainly does not seem to be a suggestion that opinion has changed in favour of remaining.
