What date is this folks?

Award for the worst post today!

BP will recover and be back in the £5 range within 12 months. Oil price will return to the 60s and BP has a solid dividend. Stop trying to get in lower ffs

Very sorry to hear stories like this. I hope you are ok. Its only money and you will rebuild. Please don stop posting here as I feel its important you talk to others. I feel for anyone who has lost and I lost a fortune many years ago on gold where I was overleveraged and ended up in so much debt.

Do GKP have a regular divi? If so how much and quarterly half yearly and annual amount please. Thanks all!

Unable to buy all morning! So frustrating!!

We are now all part of this and this is just the start. GLA 44p today and lower....Coronavirus, Brexit, Highest lending since 2008 crash, house prices at all time high. It has commenced.......

Welcome to the start of the biggest financial crash since 1929. Banks are in meltdown

We will need banks boomer, the key point here is we will need good banks and investors will want to see returns on their investments from these good banks. Is Lloyds one of these banks that are Too Big to Fail?

Prospect, is there a particular reason why you think this could be the drilling ship?

The next financial crash has commenced and Lloyds is leading the way.

Try multiplying that Chinese debt by 10 and you may be getting close. The banks are almost on their knees and cracks have become holes.

more likely just dead bats and dead banks with no cash. GLA

Banking crash has commenced and will continue.

Unfortunately the final quarter of 2019 suggests things could be tougher going forwards.

Business customers are looking less confident, residual values of cars the group finances have declined and bad loans ticked up. None of these are flashing red lights, but they shouldn't be ignored either. Meanwhile consistently low interest rates and increasing competition in the mortgage market means new loans are less profitable than old ones.

CEO Antonio Horta-Osorio's answer is greater exposure to riskier, but higher returning, loans like auto-finance and unsecured lending as well as increasing the amount lent to SMEs. Lloyds has also banked on a growing Wealth and Retirement business going forwards, through a partnership with Schroders. The market is potentially lucrative but it'll take time to get up and running and so far success has been driven by capital intensive insurance contracts.

If current trends continue we think it will be increasingly difficult for Lloyds to grind out growth. Worse, if conditions deteriorate significantly, this quarter's numbers suggest to us that Lloyds could really struggle.

It doesn't help that all progress already made means there are fewer strings to pull when times turn bad. There's only so far you can push cost savings after all.

Net income fell 4% year-on-year to £17.1bn, with both interest and other income falling. Together with an increase in bad loans that more than offset a decline in operating costs, with the result that underlying profits fell 7% to £7.5bn.

A substantial PPI related charge meant reported earnings per share fell 36% to 3.5p. The bank announced a final dividend of 2.25p, taking the full year payment to 3.37p per share, up 5% year-on-year. The dividend will be paid quarterly in the future.

The bank guided for a relatively benign 2020 despite difficult macro-economic conditions.

and into the 46p range. This will not stop. Its going to test previous lowest lows. GLA

Just out of sheer coincidence...Notice the hand sanitizer on the desk. There are always signs of the next bubble and some people even tell you its coming. GLA

With Lloyds now at an 8 year low, are we really not awake to what is happening. The next financial crash has arrived, its just a few who have opened their eyes to it. House prices at their highest levels, personal debt at its highest and now a worldwide pandemic on the horizon. The Bears were laughed at last time but are there so many with such short memories? The Dow cant sustain the rise and is also poised to slip off the cliff on which it is poised. Cash out and hold and wait for the storm to pass.......

It has started....and Lloyds will be the first bank to crash sending the UK and the world into a domino effect recession. GLA
