LTI,
You told us " Lloy is impervious to Global events "
US 10 yr notes now yielding 2.89% .
Biden is going to cause a major correction
We'll see where Lloy ends up .

LTI ,
"but one or two take exception to the fact that I am showing that I have an interest and have invested in Lloyds and continue the thread."
There is a very big difference between investing and gambling .
Surely you know the difference ?
LTI,
You keep telling us you're invested in IG and use them to continually gamble .
They charge you .2% commission on purchase and a further .2% on sale on a profit of .5 % .
You might as well invest in PM' , guaranteed capital appreciation , inflation proof and free of Government interference .
67Sam,
Thank you for your observations . Majorca at this time of yr is a truly beautiful oasis , all greenery .
Following the end of my contract with the British Army I was given £12k as end of service settlement , many moons ago . Every time I went on active svc my savings account kept increasing .
My landlord as a student in Newcastle upon Tyne had 500 houses . I thought I'd like one myself one day . As a civilian went to 13 banks before I was lent £22k to buy my first BTL . I have never looked back , kept reinvesting profits and made portfolio grow 7% pa .
I came to Majorca on holiday in 2009 . Driving around found villa for sale . Went to La Caixa bank to borrow funds and they told me rate was 9% . I borrow @ 2.3% over base so just phoned Barc Corp manager requesting a drawdown .Hence Majorca .
One of my competitors in late 70's has had enough and sold me her 3x 8 bed houses in my patch this yr .
In '20 I kept telling LTI he'd be able to pick up Lloy @ 23p . I also told him I'd throw £2M @ Lloy when the time was right . LTI told us he caught the trough , I got in @24p . Hence why I look upon LTI as our resident Walter .
"where has been your contribution, showing that you are interested and invested in Lloyds ?"
The profits from this trade are being used as deposit for a block of flats in my patch .
You're a very intelligent person and I doubt you don't have a home that isn't yours .
Best wishes !
LTI,
"There are lots of permabears that appear on this board ."
Bumper set of results and share price drops !
Your constant misinformation of the benefits of buybacks isn't enhancing Lloy price .
You honestly don't have a brain or conscience !
Mick,
In France it's acceptable for Politicians to give the right handed salute , like Macron did yesterday ,

It just goes to show what a bunch of extremists are running the EU . We should be thankful that as a nation we're away from such extremism .

''For what purpose do you repeatedly fill this board to say you have opened or closed a spreadbet.''
LTI is our resident Walter , just pay lip service to his posts .
Two years back he told us his brother died from cv19 . Two weeks back he now tells us it was his father .
For years I have doubted LTI' integrity and this should be confirmation .
He lives in a separate world to us .
LTI will get this thread removed in due course .
Mach,
"This underfunding is most evident in education"
When Ed Balls was Education Secretary he told us the reason everyone got an A in GCSE' was because standards had been augmented so much . My children didn't have to learn times tables as they were all given calculators . I did my own home schooling after work , now have 2 Engineers and youngest should get her Maths degree next month .
You're so misguided you're coming across as a Labour Party activist plant .
All guaranteed failures in Society , eaten by resentment .
If Biden and his Western counterparts banged their heads together and provided Ukrainians with a squadrom of A10 Warthogs the war would be over this summer . It's underbelly Gatling gun that can fire 6k armour piercing rounds per min would bring Russian armoured convoys to a standstill in a minute .

Fleccy,
God Bless you having the patience to prove HV wrong .
His kind and those that recommend him are diehard Socialists , what we would call life's losers . They've been brainwashed into thinking whatever Russia says is Gospel . HV supports Russia' invasion of Ukraine , supports the rape and murder of children and other atrocities , all in the name of Socialism .
HV and his kind detest democracy , there's a word for them , they always want to impose their ideology on the rest of Society . Thankfully this generation has seen through them , hence why Boris has such an envious majority .
The one trait they all share in common is disdain for free speech , the UK , and the Union Flag .
"Rwanda continued to enjoy political stability and general security, low levels of corruption with liberal legal frameworks in place. The ruling Rwanda Patriotic Front Party continued to dominate the country with robust authority and tight control over civil society. These factors along with Rwanda’s weak opposition indicate that significant political and social unrest remains unlikely in the foreseeable future. The president and the circle of his top aides stand for an authoritarian developmental state. The ruling team is kept together by unquestioning loyalty and discipline in the tradition of the rebel movement, with which they once gained power. Defectors are not tolerated. There is generally very little room for power-sharing, an independent and vital civil society and freedom of expression.
A regional conflict occurred between with Uganda and Burundi, but escalation into war was deterred. However, a significant improvement of relations with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) improved the prospects for peace in the country and region."

They're using the EU as their template .
Theo,
If the Africans eradicated their corruption they could become the wealthiest continent in the world .
You must have read the analogy :-
Do you want to live in a country , with ample natural resources , lowest population density in the world with the possibility of having the highest standards of living in the world .
Or , alternatively , live in a mountainous nation , with no natural resources , having to be self reliant and earn Foreign Currency through Intelligence ?
Theo,
"Europe is looking at Africa to fill some of its energy gap. so expect a lot more dosh to flow in...."
You're on the ball bud ! A company I use for my steel is based outside Bradford . Two yrs back their draughtman was in Mozambique measuring up to place their their dc/ ac converters on 6 m stilts , due to flooding .
I find it amazing UK are still world leaders in basic Engineering and weaponry that is bringing Russian forces to a standstill .
