Hi Livestock - I'm not massively familiar with these regulations, but as I understand it I'm taking it that Lloyds ( and other British banks ) are not losing anything - they are just not gaining the ability to uplift their CET1 capital further. The EU banks will be able to do this in future ( as I don't believe it has come into force yet? ) I'm hoping someone with a better knowledge of this than me can clarify?

So true MrB.
And for everyone else - as an aside, I'm invested here and I want it to do well. I'd like to think I'm aware of potential headwinds that could hold the SP back ( eg. Covid strains, poorer than expected results ) but also events that could boost SP ( vaccine success on mortality rate, decent divi after positive results) - I'm completely happy for BB users to highlight articles that may be of importance. Howver it does frustrate me when negative news is cherry picked for what I can only assume is an agenda. This BB seems rife with it. Balance please.

MinTid - If I may contribute!
If a company pays a steady dividend, then the dividend yield you get is locked in at the time of your share price purchase. If you buy 100 shares @ £1 with a 10p ( 10%) dividend you receive £10 dividend. If the share price goes up to £2 or drops to 50p you still receive the £10 dividend. If someone buys them when they're down at 50p then they lock in a 20% yield.

Hi MrBianco, I hadn't seen your earlier post ( which made the point more clearly than mine to be fair! )
Also I didn't think I needed to tell anyone that Halifax is part of the Lloyds group (as I'd assume that every LLOY investor knows that) but after a re-think I thought I may as well spell it out - mainly show that you have to look at the group's net gains not just Lloyds.

3rd Quarter 2020

Brand Gains Losses Net gains
Halifax 33,327 10,585 22,742
Starling Bank 14,148 1,496 12,652
Monzo 12,451 3,294 9,157
Lloyds 18,081 9,746 8,335
Bank of Scotland 2,513 1,846 667
Triodos Bank 736 70 666

As far as I'm aware, the bank that was most switched to was Halifax.

It was only four days ago that Mosman repeated via tweet "Mosman will embark on an aggressive drilling programme in 2021, with an ambitious target of drilling one well per quarter. This will include further wells on the Champion and Challenger leases in the US, with the intention to replicate the production success at Falcon-1."
We're about a week away from the half way stage. Looking forward to receiving an update.

Cheers vbeckers - sounds the same as what happens to my own shares once I've sold..!

So it posts them together...

I don't know what happened to my last message. I'll try again:
I don't think we own any more of Norseman??
Today so far: Norseman 0.55 (0.18) 46.67%

Don't think we own any anymore?
0.55 CAD +0.18 (46.67%)

I also think it's significant. There's a reason why director's deals are highlighted. Would it mean much if he'd bailed? Yes. He didn't, he clearly viewed it as an opportunity. I don't care what his personal wealth is - you'll find many wealthy people are even more careful with their money than the less wealthy. For all I know he may be skint and just used some dogecoin returns, but he's added and I think that's a big help to nervous investors.

Always a massive positive. I owe him a pint.

I've just added @ 22.49 - this nonsense has to stop at some point.

Chaseholm, I do agree with you about the Newcrest update - I considered that when I wrote what I wrote, but I think that despite us knowing just how good those new results were, the market appears to almost needs us to officially 'up' the resource estimate ( which will happen in my view ) to be a springboard to a ( much ) higher price. Either that or a significant new discovery. Also as an aside, the new area that Newcrest said GGP need to sticlk a drill in also looks prettty interesting.

I was watching someone who has been heavily invested in the volatile Gamestop - they had quite a lot of money in it, and watched it go from 400 to about 100 - didn't do anything - and then watched it go back up to 300. Now if someone can hold that share as it plummets when it's effectively worth next to nothing, then I can hold GGP as it plummets when they are partaking in a mine that's potentially worth multiples to the share price. If anyone has been spooked, in my view I would think it an amazing topping up opportunity. Psychologically it's difficult as all one can see is a crashing price. I think the catalyst of disappointing Scallywag results coupled with no new news is weighing heavily. But the simple choice for me is to either top up or just go away for a while and stop thinking about it.

or is it a bit quieter than usual on here for a Newcrest night? Have I got the correct evening? !
What often happens is the report shows some amazing hits / mineralisation, and the following morning the share price dips. Well I have good news. Just in case that happens I've got some cash ready for the dip. Which in turn means that the SP will almost be guaranteed to rise tomorrow morning - so I think I've sorted that one out for all and sundry.

I think this was a relevant question in the financial crisis - banks around the world are posting positive results. Lloyds will be steady I think.

Once you hit one square which contains part of the big target, you should be able to work out where the rest of it is....

Thank you HunSen for your reply - I've just logged back on to see it. I've held since roughly April 2019 and seen a solid performance through that time, and now with the backdrop of rising precious metals prices it's gone from strength to strength. I was curious about the dividend estimations as quite a few have commented previously that due to such progress, the board could maybe have been a bit more generous in returning money to shareholders over the last couple of years. Maybe things are going to change on that front with the special divi. I for one am holding this - it started out as a speculative investment and now looks extremely solid. By it's own steam it now accounts for 5% of my holdings, which in itself has been skewed somewhat by the progress ( except today ) of Greatland Gold over a similar timescale to that which I mentioned - otherwise it would be more like 20%. This doesn't really feel like an AIM share.
