Am dithering as to whether I should add to my holding , with all the manic events in America , if their market implodes as grossly overvalued , will it crash our share price as well . I have held for many years , and to me a very stable well run business with a good dividend return . Any ideas ?
Down again , will someone send these wasters some picks and shovels , never mind pontificating , get them digging . If there is gold there , extract it , process it and flog it whilst price is high. Am I the only one frustrated with this charade ?
Facebook is full of people complaining that Tesco are rounding up their bills to next pound to give to" charity." People posting are very annoyed , especially those struggling at present . The idea was not well thought out, as in reality it is causing a lot of annoyed customers. It should be discontinued . We can ill afford to see customers going elsewhere . People are finding it very difficult to say no to the request at the till , hence the posts .
My wife and I have been on the school run this week as our son is working away , and out of all the parents and grandparents taking their children to our local primary school , only three of us have worn a face mask . This is out of well over 200 at school gate all chatting and in close contact . So what was the point of lock down , which has destroyed our economy , and our stock exchange . Lloyds would probably be at about 70p if everyone had continued working , and just taken time off when they got Covid. I have had it , and I isolated at home and did not pass it on to family members , not fully recovered but working again. Maybe those who own a huge Range Rover or BMW , consider they are immune to Covid or are they just morons . We should now all be told to wear masks outside ,and those that do not comply should be fined a £1000 , would concentrate their feeble minds.
Your comments on university students are correct. It is time they stopped offering useless subjects , and produced only scientists and useful courses for the future well being of this Nation . Universities need a major clear out of Ivory tower merchants musing on non essential subjects. As regards Lloyds , I agree it is a hold at present . We are certainly in a mess with a lack lustre Parliament of Hooray Henrys with absolutely no intelligence or leadership skills . Sad times for what was once a great Country !
mags265 , I am like you , I enjoy going to the supermarket and seeing the fresh foods , and making choices on appearance etc. Shopping in store does have its downside though , especially when I pass the chocolate bars and crisps . Will be interesting to see how things develop in the future . My daughter shops on line at Tesco , my son shops at Tesco in store , both are totally computer literate.
With the lock down and people still wary of going out , I can understand the surge in shopping on line , but when a vaccine emerges which is effective , I honestly think people will shop in store again , so relieved to be able to go out and choose their products physically and enjoy the renewed freedom . So what do you do with 16000 extra staff then ?
In answer to your question, Lancashire, I live in hope that just one day I may get my original investment back , and if really lucky make a small profit . The problem with this share is that it is all hype , and no action . We were all going to get rich with the various sites they dabbled in from South America to the Phillipines , and nett result , nothing so far . All we have done is finance the Directors life style. Caviar for them , and not even crumbs for us .
There is a big difference between interesting projects and bringing the sites to fruition , I have been here as a holder for many years , and we have never achieved anything except make the Directors rich. Maybe this time I will be proved wrong ,but not holding my breath.!
