LTI,

Simply pointing out lloy has further to drop .

NIM , lloy charges me 4.5. % v Barcs 3.05 % interest on BTL , margins will get squeezed . I pay lloy premium to keep Barc cooperative , but that will change in next 2 yrs .

LTI,

"At least I am consistent."

It was only last week you were telling us gap @ 52p wouldn't get closed .

Consistently wrong ?

Snige,

"As for EU using UK banks couldn't American banks carry out these duties,"

2 hr daily trading overlap with EU ?

French despise Yanks , so highly unlikely .

Iceman ,

It's only a matter of time till DB needs a bailout , not one bank in EU is in a position to take on swaps on the scale needed , only our Barclays . Let's hope Carney has informed Cummings of this fact .

Dow fundamentals @27k are the same as now , Dow @30k is a psychological barrier , Vix will resemble life support . Get your impinge right !!!

Just 3.33% fron shortens paradise .

Wids ,

Our base rate will only rise to protect Sterling . Let's sleep tight at night knowing we have highest base in Europe .Political suicide otherwise .

James,

Classic bud !

Eccles,

Oxo is our eyes and ears to the unfathonable corners of our world that we can't see or reason . Since you are so blessed with logic what is your EOY guess , that should place matters in perspective .

SC ,

Barc dropped my loading from 2.5% plus base to 2.3% , on Monday , yes margins are getting squeezed, sound for us customers but not healthy for banks for bottom line . The joys of stiff competition !

Levis,

Thanks for your comments bud . Did wander this am why return to UK in middle of winter , but rainy season explains logic . Enjoy break !

Personally very cross with OZ . Taken my children practically all over Scottish Highlands over the yrs climbing Monroes . Firebreaks on all pine forests . Aussies too laid back , perhaps this is a wake up call . I pointed out this break in conversation with family , half of coal burnt in China comes from Aussie open cast , karma ?

As for P2P , very much like Crypto , opportunists will jump on the early bandwagon , with time the bone fide players will survive .

Irans nothing to worry about , a few cruise missiles to their power supply and major substations country grinds to a halt , traffic lights won't work and cyber threat neutralised. Will be interesting to see when this matter escalates , as it must , as no one wants to be seen to lose face , whether US will bomb their Uranium enriching plant .

Levi's , posting from Australia hasn't been heard of for 2 weeks . I trust he's keeping well .Absolutely ridiculous , fires should take such a heavy toll on a civilised nation .

A1,

Enjoy bud !

A1, off topic

Which part of the world are you exploring this time bud ?

N58,

We need to stay positive , it's cheaper to produce 1Kwh from renewables than fossils . We need to enhance our investment in green power , let's use Trumps obliteratation of a mass murderer to our benefit . Lloy needs to diversify into newables , it's self financing !

"NEW Fears that tensions in the Middle East could cut off one of the world's most important energy supply routes pushed up the price of Brent crude by as much as 5 per cent - hitting $69.50 a barrel."

Gaps will get closed .

Broadland, congratulations on your foresight .

A1 ,

Many thanks for your patience and time in this annual endeavour . Outstanding example again !

Put me down for 48p please .

LTI,

Simply observing the days of fossil fuels are numbered .

We might both agree , we're heading towards a hard B rexit , it'll be interesting to see through how many support levels lloy goes .

LTI,

The world is changing fast , down to individuals to decide whether for the best , staying ahead of curve should be main priority .

LTI,

"Happy to be both a BP and SHELL shareholder."

As happy as being a CLLN shareholder ?

LS,

"Our Monetary Policy Committee has voted by a majority of 7-2 to maintain Bank Rate at 0.75%. The committee also voted unanimously to maintain the stock of corporate bond purchases and UK government bond purchases."

Some folk on MPC are getting concerned and from experience , 2007 , they're not brightest bulbs in the pack .
