Ha HaNot been on here for years, I see nothing changes same old banter , including the share price!Brought in to Lloyds 2010 thinking I have a nice little nest egg when I retire LOLAm now heading for retierment........
Tranter spot on post . I could see how the UK was going with the EU and immigration and as someone who works on the tools (Air Conditioning) I feel my family were been impacted more than those better off. So came to Australia 10 years ago haven’t look back. As for Lloyd I now take some of the dividend in cash and being buying BT and RBS. It’s long term for retirement!!!!
I wonder how many of you on this board affected by zero huor contracts and ever weake employment laws. Myself in the last ten years here in Oz have seen my terms and conditions gradually eroded weak due too weak union representation and employment laws. Both my wife and I lean to the right when we vote but I now see my wife is in the shop workers union and i in the Electrian union . 10 years ago saw no need to be in the unions but what with the bullying that cascade from above and the lack of protection you now use as a insrance policy. The CEO of the CBA the largest bank in Australia was asked why there's no inflation. His answer was employees haven't got no bargaining powers. With artificial intelligence just around the corner I can't see it getting any better. I'm not a bleeding heart PC left winger but I can't see any better for the people at the bottom who go to work And with the Immigration problem as is in Europe things could easily turn for the worse
If you do live in nice quiet corner of Scotland not affected by immigration and you dont have children then I can understand your view But like myself who had young childern and lived in a high crime rate area with high immagration and failing schools. And your wife is violenty mugged in broad daylight. You may well consider what I did, and immagrate to Australia We paid for our visa flights police clearance medicals (HIV TESTS) checks etc. And we have assimilated in to the Australian way of life. So you see call me what ever you want. Sorry to go off topic but these days it appears not too be.
As for Lloyds these look cheap am still taking the share for dividend and topping up when they look cheap (now) GLA
Sold my RBS last week bit a luck by the look at it. Top up on my Lloyds shares may be tempted to buy back in if they keep droping.
Having said that now am getting a regular dividend! With Lloyds who are one of the best to cover their dividend I may stay there?
