What happened to all the experts that were saying the share price would go up as soon as the buyback was finished 😂

If it is , I’ll be filling my boots.

I’ve told you a million times not to exaggerate 😉

Fair enough. Glad to see you have some skin in the game with Lloyds 👍

Antony,

“ Erm, because I want to be…. ”

So you’re just a troll really then ? 🤔

Germany’s reliance on cheap Russian gas is causing severe ramifications for its economy.

With another winter approaching and energy prices climbing anew, the cracks are once more beginning to show. In Germany, there is growing concern over the damage the conflict is doing to the country’s once well oiled economic model, partly dependent as it has been on the supply of cheap Russian energy.

According to Politico’s most recent poll of polls, support for Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), parts of which favour an immediate settlement with Putin, has surged all the way from 10pc since the start of the war to 21pc today.

To cap the damage from sanctions, Germany’s largest export market for cars, China, has pretty much cornered battery supply chains and threatens to leapfrog Germany into next generation electric vehicles.

Already the European auto market is subject to fierce Chinese competition.

EU plans to phase out the internal combustion engine by 2035 are viewed with growing alarm in the industrial heartlands of Bavaria and the Rhine, prompting BMW’s chief executive, Oliver Zipse, to warn this week that volume car manufacturing in Europe could all but disappear.

Spot on Cardinal. Unemployment rising will come soon whilst that dipsh*t Bailey will needlessly put interest rates up again this month.

“ I'm still seeing everyone planning holidays buying new cars and getting on with life in a higher interest rate environment”

There’s always a lag before the full effects of interest rises take hold.

Yup, the BoE is a busted flush with zero credibility. They underhiked when they needed to be more proactive and will no doubt overhike when they don’t need to now. The fly in the ointment that might make inflation sticky is the hiking up of oil prices by Putin and the Saudis. I expect because Putin has made such a mess of his own economy with his ill-judged war in Ukraine, he will attempt to drag the world down with him.

Sounds like someone’s got out of bed the wrong side 🤣🤣

“Does anyone still listen to this troll? he's been lurking around various boards spitting doom & gloom for quite sometime. ”

Yes Porsche does seem a bit agged on several boards. And Brexit seems to be a big bone of contention 😂

Could be…..😉

That was directed at Ant Seany. You haven’t even posted on this thread until now. Paranoia really is setting in 😂

You’re sounding paranoid Seany, it wasn’t directed at anyone in particular 😉

*posters*

LTI,

It does amuse me that certain poster want you to answer their questions and frustration about Lloyds share price. It really is quite simple in my book, If you don’t like what’s going on, sell up and move on. And if you’re not going to, then STFU and stop wasting bandwidth.

As I keep saying to livestock (I’ve asked him 3 times but he still won’t answer), what is stopping you selling your Lloyds shares and investing the proceeds elsewhere ? It really isn’t a difficult question 😳

“Perhaps Lloyds is a bellwether for the UK economy?”

It is. It is a UK focussed bank now.

Why would the completion of the buyback help Lloyds share price ? If it was still going on, we may not have had 5 consecutive down days.

Indeed livestock,

Partly explains why Lloyds share price is languishing eh ? 😉

Yeah it is nicknaim. Financials in the UK have not done well the last few years sadly.
