First drug to kick ass.You will know all about it be end of day.Watch the rest of pharma go now.
Good morning all.

MAY 2018 Market Capital 100.5BN. Close of business yesterday 77 M/Cap was down to 23.34Bn.
THe obvious being a massive drop of £77.16 Billion pounds. A continuos drop of this level would put the Bank insolvency in a further 9 months.
Many other points of concern to be considered before buying.AS in all thing do your own research.
Me the current and longtime neglect of planning should also be considered.
AS for the cry "good time to buy" is the same as when this SP was86p. But then then the cry was when will we break a pound.
Was suspending the dividend a great touch of fortune?

People have to keep occupied,very true.Let them dig holes and fill them in then.
Occupied here could well be,beach alcohol fuelled parties, roaring music, dancing in the fountains,blocked roads, full A&E`s and a myriad of futile activities.This is only our MP`s wait to it all kicks off.
This is not utopia and our nation is not made up of geniuses.The rule is necessary journeys, not take a daffodil for a drive day.

The purpose of rules is simple, travelling to second homes with your living requirements in your own car.Is no problem, except travel as been stated for essential work only and the fact that we work to the thin end of the wedge with the majority of our people.
Many would dilute the rules to having B-b-`s on the hard shoulder of the M25 within hours, thus creating a scenario where a lockdown enforcement in our homes would result.
Imo regrettable but true.

Wickedly.

Darth."Trump Dump", is indeed scary.

Whilst I retain my stock holding here if tomorrow this price is retained I will be a buyer.Though I will as always buy others as being shackled to Lloyds is not what I like as an investor.
A little sunshine always lifts the mood.

Tangier,sticking to personal banking no one knows the amount of Mortgage,loan and PCP defaults that may be in the Lloyds books. Some would say they will be high others that such borrowers will have been getting a substantial percentage of their wages and with less opportunity to spend the position may be ameliorated.On this only time will tell.
Regarding the repayment of 12% securities, unless it is enforceable on organizations that are holders who is going to accept?A point made at the time is where do you get 12% return elsewhere?The matter was also widely expressed and known here from initiation.
This Bank is like any other organization at the moment, drop the drawbridge now and we all could see Financial position that emerges little changed, but in the event of a longer and harsher lockdown with 80% being cut to possibly 50% of stay home pay and who knows.
I simply feel there as always more questions that answers and they abound here and now.
Those believing they are buying shares cheap could be met with further large drops coming at the flick of a switch.I preach the old mantra, stay liquid at all costs and invest in time honoured products and utilities.To the annoyance of many what good is a 2% DIVI PAYOUT if the SP drops 10times that in a day or worse still you are dead.
On that bright note stay safe and morning all.

I enjoyed the picture.
The answer is none by the way.
G tech ready to go ,standing idle not in the correct political grouping however and were never approached.
Sad to my mind.

Read it for what it may be worth.

Oxo, yes I said I was not fully agreed with you , not that I was deadly opposed.That does not distract from the question.Directors income vs Dividend zeroed.
Reply only if you wish.
By the way enjoy the clement weather SIR.

A few direct questions on CV19,how many ventilators has Dyson delivered?
Is G tech also making them?
Why does the figures show that Germany had so much inventory in comparison to us?
To close, the Bus drivers do not deserve the deaths in London incurred.

OXO like you with all due respect how do you feel personally about our directors and their attitude to maintaining their salaries full tilt as opposed to dividend cuts.
I am not in full agreement about your attitude to the divi but is this not one rule for owners of the Bank and a totally different one for directors.

Those including us financial institutions that were quick to renege on dividends and yet openly flaunt indifference to the Government with directors still happy to keep their noses in the trough ,do so at their peril.The virus has put a dent in the funds of most small businesses and families.These people will read with open mouths about the monies being paid to directors,or so called pillars of society.Christ even most of our footballers see the necessity to be on the side of the people.
How long will these people shoulder the ridicule of the nation without making a genuine contribution to society?to long I fear.
Good times deserve all getting a cut.
Bad times the opposite,and belt tightening.

Asperger,advise?Wouldn`t dream of doing so,keep up the good work.]
Somebody has to encourage him.

As I often say it is a poor organisation that cannot support one gentleman.In this case the gentleman in question receiving £162,000 per week is AHO.For me I know he will get away with it and therefore he fully deserves it, the Agm will support him with at least a 90% vote.He is a toad for the Government, a yes man that I repeat again has done nothing for the Company and worst of all has no empathy with the PI shareholders.
This behaviour blackens the name of Lloyds and stops imo many from investing, It does not help that he is from foreign climes and it breaths oxygen to the flames of the take it and run brigade.Is this a Personal attack from me on his shortcomings, no because I have wasted far to much time highlighting his inadequacies in the past only to be mauled by toothless sheep.
The penny stops no where else but with the CHAIRMAN who is supposed to control and stop such avarice.
The fact AHO gets full whack while dividend is suspended says it all.Talk about taking the Michael and getting away with it.
Anyway thank you LIVESTOCK for highlighting this press editorial and LEVIS for being far more salient than I.
Have a good day and don't let them grind us down.

To previous posters here, I have always been suspicious of the mass information stating that "smallpox" is only held by America and Russia.A lot of other Countries may have had their hands up saying" we destroyed or holding", but does anyone really believe it.I for one never believed only two Countries retain access to it.
In my opinion 10 would be more like it.
Now , the world markets are showing we are far from giving in to CV 19, and no one with any luck at all should be out of pocket today. Do what we do as always accept volatility for what it is and buy when you are confident and see the risk as acceptable. 7% rise is never shabby,enjoy.

Nobody can go anywhere and saga are up 12% at present.My so called antenna for the market is way off at present.
Hope you all are keeping well.

Cheers , glad all going well,have looked at Sym and agree future looks bright but not for me.Sometimes I sit and watch a few shares and currently that is pushing me towards a small Company in the US.At the moment it is dormant and somehow I don't believe the American people will take the pain necessary required to stall cv19, in the short term
Hence my war chest remains at rest until things change.
Excellent news that ourselves and close European neighbours seem to be holding our own.Maybe it stop the need to kill the 5 eldest in each family.Lol, some blood thirsty people about.
Very best of luck to all.

Update to keep you sweet, you know that is important to me.Lloyds up 7% Pru 11%.SYM up 9% SMT 5%.
Ignoring decimal points and fractions, I would call that a score.
Not best earners but not my worst.This looks like going the distance,hopefully.
Well done sir.
