"SC,that's why am in here and cusn and sml ,the future looks good for electric ,green energy transition , Lloyds are already involved in take a look at there portfolio"
Agreed. It blows my mind the people who think green energy is going to make our lives worse financially. It strikes me as people worrying cars were going to destroy the lucrative horse economy.
"more fragile than a new born baby...."
Babies have more cartilage than bone initially, which is replaced over time. As such if you drop them* they are more likely to bounce than an older child. Hopefully Lloyds does the same.
*This is not medical advice.
"End of which year, could anyone enlighten me."
80p? 2022? 2023? Who knows. Certainly* not this year.
*It could happen, but odds are as close to zero as to make it pointless to think about.
" It's helpful to know that he can oil a bicycle chain but it's not really helpful in his job. It may even be an obstacle."
Only 9:30 and I think this is a contender for weirdest take of the day.
"it's called statistics, you can do what you want with them."
True. You could just pick a survey that tells you what you want to hear and ignore the one that says the opposite, for instance.
" I imagine with the speed of the economy opening up this will be back over 50p next month"
Would be nice. Personally I'm concerned about the (Covid) numbers currently in the UK and the general global turmoil. Hope it all blows over, but at the moment I'm thinking end of the year before we're back around 50p.
"Disinform - from 26p to today Darth is 80 percent under water inc divi he has had to pay on his short.... On the flip side im over 80 percent up."
Nature of the beast. I'm not going to take pleasure in others' losses though. Seems churlish. Good to get peoples different opinions is all IMHO.
[Research in progress, promise]
"Airlines are owed almost $1 billion across 20 countries as governments withhold payments in order to hang on to hard currency...."

Not that I doubt you but not something I'm, aware of. Guess I should have DMOR!
China doubling down on the old authoritarian front is certainly a massive uncertainty. It's hard to say at the moment how this will al shake out, but if indeed Xi cares more about loyalty and cohesion than economic prosperity this might be a long term positive for other nations. Still miles off a good picture of everything though, I think.
One question I do have though is why focus on Lloyds? Surely Tesla or just the S&P would be a more lucrative short to take if you believe we're all doomed?
DYOR!!! Make sure you do it, like I have done, don't just watch some YouTube videos and browse listlessly through Yahoo Finance! Make sure you go to a library and perform actual experiments with real companies and have those results published in a reputable journal! THE IMPLICATION IS I HAVE DONE THIS!
Maybe that's a different situation to seizing property from a listed company, who am I to say? There's discussion to be had but "What if Lloyd's buys all these properties and then they fall down the back of the sofa and they can't find them?" is not really the level we should probably aim for.
Your thoughts betray you, Darth. I feel the good in you, the conflict.
