Give it time!

Must have been another meaty statement by the CEO showing why Lloyds are the share to buy for the future.
Something to with the reproductive plan I reckon.
Stay alert.Piano falling.

Sufc,
"Other shareholders will not be allowed to attend on the day".Heave black print.
Shareholders will never be allowed to change anything here, they are suplus to requirements.
That's me finished.

It is really simple the Government knows this Virus is going to put us back years financially,as It will many Countries,Lloyds the suckers they are were asked to join to assist,firstly no dividends, then on the way reduce bonuses, no buybacks (thankfully) and then when it all settles down the Government will be in greater hock to the National Debt and Lloyds will be chasing bad debts for years,
Does this matter as we did not know how or have a plan to use our built up Capital anyway,hardly but it does mean we will go back to bumping along the bottom for many years.
Of course, equally if the Gov wanted they could scrap HS2 or the 3rd runway at Heathrow or numerous other LEGACY schemes.But will they or is it preferable to let the mug Banks carry the load for years.
Better to use the mug Banks of which Lloyds is the biggest.
To confirm that point imagine if we were re-opening our roads to drivers would you allow the experienced drivers to go first or the learners some with just a few lessons. That is what is being done with the P1`s.Not with my kids they wouldn`t.
As I am taking a rest day,forget Lloyds and think where can you put my money safely to work with minimal risk.
Enjoy.

Sufc.
Lloyds cycle is easy to establish, you don`t have to pedal going down hill.The problem is Lloyds has no brakes for very many years now.
Mr Dyson has virtually as much Capital as Lloyds,says it all really but keep buying the level of impairments, or as I prefer to call them bad debts,need you to do so.
Many of the posts here lack all really, but as they say its your money.
As for the buybacks, with what?

A fantasy portfolio including Lloyds is only to make the other shares look good.When the presenter of the portfolio tried dipping his toe in the water for real he quickly became unstuck.
As for sitting on your hands as advice it has at least been stated a 100 times here before.
I will repeat where is this great faith in Lloyds coming from,in all the markets in all the world is this the best any decent investor can come up with.The value of Lloyds will go up hopefully but will be the laggard of the footsie as always.
Wise up, grow up and buy true value now when it exists, don`t hold on to a share that is still being run as if it the 18th Century and hasn`t changed since.
You need new and innovative thinking in a new era.Simple really, put the quills away.

Lloyds share price has dropped 2.78p in a week.
Nothing rises for ever.

Lloyds was to end week at 35p according to some posters.Please would they tell us why , or was it just hopeful thinking?
Buying or selling do your homework on this one it does not behave as many thing.
Investors are going to have to understand you cannot run a Bank like this and be reclusive, the Board have to come out and explain market reactions and how are they going to stop this downward spiral.
For a start giving reasons why anyone would buy here for the next 5 years.If they don`t know at least say it and be honest,then remedial action can be taken.

Won`t happen.That is the joy of comparisons.Everyone is in the same boat so Lloyds at the very worst will only sink to the average drop or thereabouts.
Rising tide and all that.

Blue day for Lloyds tomorrow, what about those crowing for buying at 30.3p on Monday.Hard to have sympathy for them eh otto?
To much negativety here, happy investing mate.

You cannot put the Genie back in the bottle.There has been a recent use of graphs in all areas to highlight where we stand in the Uk compared to the rest of the world. The main results of this type of exercise is to draw comparisons.
Is it now time that Lloyds did the same, which means drawing about 3 graphs to show how the Company has progressed over say the last 5/6 years. Share price, m/cap and source and application of funds would suffice for a start.As Lloyds will hardly jump at the idea, you may have to do it yourselves.Given computers the first two items would take about 5 minutes each and the third 30 minutes at most.
You upon completion will see your first two will start high on the left and fall virtually consistency to the botton right.The third will require some thought, but buybacks, ppi, dividends, wages and bonuses and the last item of progression and capitalization will be null and void as no direct plan ,if you exclude reducing staff, closing branches and share schemes were never pre-advised.
Now all you need to do is encompass any quality share that you feel was comparable to Lloyds, may I suggest the colour green, and there is no restriction on sector or place.
Many will probably do it with a pot of tea to hand which is my preference.I am not going to suggest what high/low lights you review that is your choice, and good luck.It is easier to do that you may expect.
The reason I post this is because the red messages are flashing daily informing me I stray of target,and maybe I do.But like many others I have pushed a lot of "copy and paste" know it all`s into dormancy and also done my bit to reveal the truth.Nobody will be believe I am apolitical ,but that is a fact I could care less about.
The threat of closing my down is meaningless and laughable, just remember anyone can post but some are pure tripe.
That said I came here and learnt an absolute amount of excellent skills from a handful, I thank them kindly and appreciate it.A late lunch awaits.

As we all know Lloyds SP is somewhat volatile and can also be moved by external influence`s.At a time like that a press briefing by the hierarchy setting out the intrinsic value of the Company and how they have prepared for such matters can help redress the position.I would expect such a press release to follow SOON.
Stay calm and alert.

Oxo, either home brew or they have lifted the lockdown on your local watering hole.
Still why work at all, it would leave more in your area for pigeon fancying and racing whippets.
Oxo you still after the Andy Capp lifestyle?

The American people deserve better.But yes MICK-B idiots in power do go for the war option.
Time to stock up on toilet rolls,spam and tin hats.
Interesting times indeed.

Even temperature checks have become redundant to the fight against cv19,why could it be another excuse to whip our leaders for not doing it,I hope not the one thing in another 75 years is how a Country allowed standards to fall to such a level that they have easily the worst figures for deaths from this virus and even today on the anniversary of VE day still cannot get their act together.The majority of people know everything else is an illusion but the number of death cannot be disguised.Hiding care home deaths is unacceptable and shameful from lousy cowardly people in Government.
Stay safe this weekend.

Nash 2020,excellent, an unfunny joke indeed, and the adage give an inch and they will take a mile is indeed apt.
On this anniversary of all days lets hope against hope that common sense will prevail.Sometimes we are blinded and forget that when it was decided to take this CV19 seriously we were totally unprepared.
In football parlance we were 3 nil down and the first half was over.Further more, difficult questions will have to be asked, as I don`t want to be here all day I will ask just three at this time.Was the NHS found wanting to the extent that all expertise was used thereby neglecting care homes and such like where the virus still rages?.Why was traffic through our ports in excess of 200k per day incoming not tested in anyway whatsoever?There was a massive level of the Virus in our largest cities and such hotspots were allowed to operate normally for weeks before the lockdown.,why?
These are only three of thirty questions I could ask, and I am not being purposely negative of the Government, I just believe we could have saved a lot of lives with a little forethought. Sad to say.
STAY save.

Well we do live in a democracy of sorts,it is like those Ministers thatwill answer questions from anybody.Anybody they like with questions they like.
"The thank you for your question baloney".
That includes all parties Manunited31, but at least we know when posts are removed they are accurate and hitting home.

TFE.Do not blame posters for their comments, people were arriving from all over the World and entering our airports without any medical checks whatsoever.The Customs & excise, Passport Authorities and airport police etcetra are employed by the Government and no one else.Airport owners had nothing to do with it.The world knows our Government was not fit for purpose, and were at least 4 weeks to slow in closing our ports.
The people in our care homes are British Citizens and they received no support from the Government, we had no adequate stock of PPE, not enough doctors or nurses hence the call to the retired, we had no testing and even yet cannot provide the GPs of the results.
Daily a list of parroting and sickening badly suited yes men are thrust upon us to say, thanks for saving the NHS when they mean thanks for saving us bunch of lazy fools.
Irrespective of one`s politic`s thousands have died needlessly and all the Country know it, their ideology may hide it but the shame is there.
I could and may well write to a newspaper setting out how this debacle still continues,but we all are aware dithering and indecision plus mega incompetence was and is the real cause here.
TFE, post tripe if you like but deep down our second grade politicians just don`t cut it.

Superbly put.

Snige,A social democratic government distributing wealth.
How dear you Snige you will surely be executed at an unsocial hour.
All the best.
