"This share has almost fallen 25% since February."
February - you mean you picked a month which has the 52 week high, and just before the start of a major war, for the base price to work from?
"People are still quoting analysts' forecasts like they actually mean someting. Talk of £8 when the share price is in freefall ! What madness is that ?"
The price, along with most other stocks, is fluctuating erratically during the conflict(s) we are witnessing. These analyst quotes are clearly based on fundamentals but would only be attainable in a better macro environment. Talking about it is good, it shows forward planning - buying now with hope that the Middle East situation settles. I bought LLOY during Covid which worked out well. There are absolutely no guarantees but I am optimistic that my purchases between 5.40 & 5.90 will end up over the years strongly 'up'.
