Took the words out of my mouth

Well feck off then

I was on a ship all day yesterday doing an audit so never got a chance to respond to your earlier post which made me laugh
"Having a p!zz at 3 in the morning is a bonus , had 2 heart attacks aged 48 , still fag it and drink like a fish "
This reminded my of and epitomises a quote from an American author Hunter S Thompson who said
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride"

Good read.

49p Not going to happen today!

"in the last month the DOW Jones is up 0.53% Lloyds in the last month is up 11.35% there's no resemblance"
To put this in perspective, Lloyds was only recovering the losses it had made since June.
In the last 5 years the DOW Jones is up 92% in the last 5 years Lloyds is down -7.5% there's no resemblance
In the last 10years the DOW Jones is up 190% in the last 10 years Lloyds is up 48% there's no resemblance

JP Morgan reported stronger than expected earnings yesterday but there shares fell 2.5% yesterday on the results and have fallen 0.6% so far today?

Brixton,
You were early on parade this morning; showing your age having to get up for a p!ss at 3 in the morning LOL

DOW futures currently up +230 pts so could tickle 49p this afternoon; subject to DOW not throwing a wobbler before 16:30!

End of year is 31st December, but still takes time to digest and analyse the results hence Final Results only published 24th February.

I think new until we get clarity from BOD how excess cash is returned the share holders, which will not be until final results 24th February, the trading range will be 47p - 49p. There seems to be quite a few who are expecting a special and/or buyback announced at 3rd quarter update, but Lloyds have already said at half years results 29th July that a decision will not be made until final results because of the uncertainty/unknowns still prevailing. I am certainly not expecting any deviation on this, although it would be welcomed if there was.

Think you on the wrong BB

FTSE futures currently well up +40 pts so could open 48p+?

"anyone know why the sudden little drop"
Simples! DOW has fallen -251 pts on open!

There goes 48p, nice while it lasted. A song by Vera Lyn maybe sums up........"we'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when, but I know we'll meet again some sunny day"

Lti
Thanks

FTSE is recovering from the mornings losses, and Lloyds is losing this mornings gains? Funny old game!

Grimmo
Can you post a link to the article from Morning Star which shows this.

"Lloyds approaching 50p again"
Good to see Lloyds recent surge, but I think there will be no mention of any special dividend or buybacks in the 3rd quarter update on 28th October which was alluded to in the half year update, so IMO 50p is going to prove to be an insurmountable barrier until final results day 24th February when news of how excess cash is to be distributed is promulgated. Good news then should see the SP 55 - 60p range or more.
