Market makers may buy your shares for their own accounts and then flip them hours later to make a personal profit. They can use a stock's rapid price fluctuations to log a profit for themselves in the time lag between order and execution.

Hooray for… inflation?

The word inflation has been prominent in many headlines over the past couple of months. And it’s understandable why. In November 2021, the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), which acts as a good indicator of inflation, rose by 5.1%! That’s the highest price increase in nearly a decade – September 2011, to be precise.

As a quick and simplified reminder, inflation causes prices of materials and, in turn, products to go up. That’s horrible news for consumers since it inflates the cost of living, thus reducing the value of any savings. But this could actually be fantastic news for Lloyds and its share price. Let me explain why.

Like any bank, Lloyds makes a good chunk of its money by issuing loans to businesses and individuals. The most common type for the latter group would be a mortgage. The company then charges interest on these loans to generate a profit as well as mitigate potential default risks.

During times of high inflation, the Bank of England can increase interest rates. And suddenly everyone with a variable-rate mortgage starts paying higher monthly premiums. This reduces the total money in circulation, bringing inflation back down.

While paying higher interest, again, sucks for consumers and businesses alike, it’s music to the ears of banks like Lloyds. After all, if the firm can charge higher rates on its loans, Lloyds’ profit margins get that much wider, boosting its share price

British Airways owner International Consolidated Airlines Group (LSE:IAG) and other long-haul carriers are the best airline shares to own, according to Citigroup.

"We see multiple catalysts that will likely result in the long haul airlines outperforming the short haul carriers," Citi analysts said in a note on Tuesday.

The investment bank reiterated its 'buy' recommendation on IAG and double upgraded shares of Lufthansa to 'buy', while also upping the stance on Air France-KLM (OTC:AFLYY) to 'neutral'.

Budget carrier Wizz Air Holdings PLC (AIM:WIZZ) was downgraded to 'sell', joining easyJet plc (LSE:EZJ), but RyanAir was maintained on a 'buy' rating.

"We believe the long haul airlines will benefit from the continued momentum in cargo, recovery in corporate travel and transatlantic and the reopening of Asia Pacific travel," the analysts, led by Sathish Sivakumar, said in a note to clients.

Repurchases and Redemptions
Repurchases are when a company that issued the shares repurchases the shares back from its shareholders. During a repurchase or buyback, the company pays shareholders the market value per share. With a repurchase, the company can purchase the stock on the open market or from its shareholders directly. Share repurchases are a popular method for returning cash to shareholders and are strictly voluntary on the part of the shareholder.

Redemptions are when a company requires shareholders to sell a portion of their shares back to the company. For a company to redeem shares, it must have stipulated upfront that those shares are redeemable, or callable. Redeemable shares have a set call price, which is the price per share that the company agrees to pay the shareholder upon redemption. The call price is set at the onset of the share issuance. Shareholders are obligated to sell the stock in a redemption.
