"What we need are more helicopters/small planes that people can hire for a lower cost in order to get between A and B within the UK. "

yes i fly small aircraft, and i think electric plane will become popular in the future. At the moment they are only good for circuits, training. In France it's popular with farmers to turn land into a small grass runway...Good way to get about, fun too.

Lazy-Dave, Yes, you can open a SB account and open Short or Long position on shares, indices etc...

we have a resident who is a swot at this, but only goes Long with multi, no loads of positions , check it out he's never had a positons go against him which resulted in a loss..yet his LTH is not so fortunate....odd eh.

DYOR

ye, it a bit like The National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) confirming officers have been told not to install the NHS Covid-19 app on their work smartphones...

Sell into the rise, DYOR IMHO

Lazy -Dave,
Now that you do not have a holding you can always SB Lloy shares Long / Short, its all good...!

cheers...

SUFCESSEX,
"Bet the big hedge funds that are holding short here are looking over their shoulders"

firstly, I hope you are keeping well.
Secondly as for hedge funds looking over there shoulder, i very much doubt that ans if you are in doubt then check out our residents , as he will tell you all you have to do is open another position at every fraction of the SP movement, good eh...it is what we have all come to "expect, only from reading about the experience of course...

Lazy-Dave, I for one appreciate the honesty but it's not that i want it to collapse i just feel we have experienced the impact of C-19 but yet to experience the fall-out and it is well documented that the repercussions of 2nd wave C-19 will be severe.

Wuhan, the epicentre for Covid-19 outbreak, are only just getting back to normality after 12 months and they had very strict lock-down, we on the other had doled out Furlough and many threw a caution to the wind and still are which only result in a mid Oct and possible winter lockdown…
Long way to go yet....

Hollybean,
"We are now entering the dark tunnel, there will be no light seen for the next 6 weeks,then there will be a sign a peep of light that will decide our destinies,and tgen we might have a clearer picture of just where we are heading,best of luck all lth."

that light you see, it's another train on the same track.

The global banking system is very much under threat yet again. EU in a “Doom Loop” dyor, Hong Kong & HSBC do some research in that one.
USA – the Election determines a US /UK trade deal imho. Trade Deal deadline set for Mid /21, if JB gets in you can kick that on into the long grass. Come Nov 3rd and trading activity is set to increase considerably, lots of volatility.

Brexit - UK still has no deal and No Deal is not priced in…

C-19 - we will not have a vaccine in circulation until late 2021 at the earliest and that is subject to trails being successful even then we are anticipating distribution /administration issues. We cannot even get young to abide by restrictions, a curfew so I don’t think they will form an orderly queue for something they had total disregard for from day one.
A National Lockdown mid Oct, as originally circulated....

BoE - Negative rates still yet to be taken OFF the table. Just a matter of time as they had been assessing the situation, no smoke without fire.
Unemployment – lots of sectors making staff redundant, the latest Govt Schemes will have prompted employers to make decisive decisions as this is not Furlough scheme whereby the Royal Family can apply.

Then of course we have the Hangman’s Noose, the PRA. The banking sector is there priority and II’s, shareholders is not going to sway them, quite the opposite.
Short positions. Any more bad news and no doubt “Shorts” positions will increase.

Results day tide may provide a sell opportunity, may raise other boats in the harbour....

with regard to "newbie question"....

TFE,.
So like i stated previously , This guys advice to banks when C-19 hit UK shores was to “Play up the downside & Play down the upside” the guy is not exactly hard to read…he does have a plan I would be worried if he did not have a plan and them plans include negative rates…

I would expect an announcement in the near future...

"Grasping at straws again."

Please elaborate..?

Here is the link to the article which may be of interest to others, as this is not only current but is also relevent to the banking sector; therefore fail to understand a throw away comment such as yours, ""Grasping at straws again."...

Bank of England policymaker defends plan.....
A Bank of England (BoE) policymaker has defended the potential use of negative interest rates, which could take the cost of borrowing below zero.

Silvana Tenreyro told the Sunday Telegraph that evidence from other countries was "encouraging".

"we all need to focus on.... 'Them versus Us'."

Yes absolutely, the UK had one of the biggest protest marches in history, no not BLM, No not Jeremy Corbyn's brother arrested at anti-lockdown protest in London, It happened to be about the invasion of another country in the naughties
....soon forgotten yet we live with terrorism many , many years later, as do other countries...Paris anyone..!

if Lloy didn't cut a deal then the CEO should be pushed rather than be allowed to leave,

Patrao1,
Britain's biggest banks are to be given until 2019 – longer than had been expected – to implement radical reform of their operations to prevent another taxpayer bailout of the system."

Sir John Vickers quoted stating in May /20;
"The global effort to reform the banks after the crisis of 2008 did a number of good things but I generally think of it as a job half done,"....
sounds about right to me..
