Been holding LLOY for a long time, looking to reduce as there are so many opportunities elsewhere.
Learning from history; take a look at the 1 year chart, LLOY hit a high (almost a year today) after the general election, LLOY was in the middle of buy-backs, paying a regular dividend but started to fall before Covid-19.
I don't know where it will go next, but we are far from being out of the woods on Brexit or Covid - the economic fall out has yet to be measured, not to mention very low interest rates.
Sorry I don't share the positive outlook , but I find it hard to justify much of a price increase on LLOY. Resuming dividends may boost a little (but only by as much as the dividend IMO).
Talk of 60p and 70p here sets the price as if none of this (brexit, covid, interest rates, possible loan defaults) happened, very happy to be proven wrong, I'm reducing but will still hold.
