Nonsense and a tad arrogant skier - If most people voted the same as their parents the government would never change. Massive swings like Blair in 97 would never happen.

Give people some credit - Yes lots of fools out there but not everyone

So have most other equities that jumped at the opening - Only a fool (or a day trader which is the same thing) comments on minutiae in day movements

10 year treasury yields down to 4.5% - maybe this dogs day will arrive sooner rather than later

then hopefully the g0b****e's on this thread will run off crying to ig trying to stop their pocket money shorts

They should be embarressed Kiom

You'll not hear anything from Kermit and Beaker for some time I suspect. Of course if there's a recession and the whole market tumbles they'll be back

"said the continent’s economy is also struggling with low productivity and a lack of skilled labour"

Funny - That's exactly what every doomsday liberal bremainer economist keeps saying is blighting the UK

They need Peter Burrell back - he'll hide the losses for them

You make a fair point Asp but only in the relatively short term. My journey with Lloyds started back in the mid noughties and I can assure you it's been a different experience. Even with a few bouts of pound cost averaging over the years it's been pretty painful.

Shrewd move LT - Dividend track record the envy of many and a thick end of a c. 5.5% div. I first invested here when the div was 4% and I've never looked back

You know what they say, even a broken clock is right twice a day - And you are definitely broken

Cane, don't be mean, he needs something to spend his pocket money on

Svend,

You talk sense - I would add that these boards are not really the place for day or short term traders. If people are using info gleaned on these boards for trading then more fool them.

You also say.... "Finally, I agree that the overwhelming majority of people would have benefited financially if they had never dabbled in stocks. This is because the stock market is a risky place, and even the most experienced investors can lose money. However, I believe that the potential rewards of investing in the stock market outweigh the risks, for those who are willing to invest for the long term and diversify their portfolio" I'm not sure I entirely agree with this. My view as a long term investor is simple, even the dog that Toff calls the footsie has it's day, long term total return is generally >6% pa (incl divs) and if compounded over a sensible period of time (say 20 years) is >9% Of course the US and some other markets are higher, even much higher. But a well diversified buy and hold strategy is unlikely to not succeed.

Tiff I'm afraid not - The board has sold the entire property portfolio at a 10% discount to the NAV @ c. 72p per share. On this basis the best you can hope for is 72p (minus any dividends and costs) between now the and closure of the company. With a bit of luck the sale cash is earning decent interest

I find him funny but also feel a little sorry for him - That said he must be loaded with all his supposed "shorts" coming good

Toff you really are a numpty - 950 shares? Did you invest your pocket money? That's less than the dividend re-investment a lot on here will end up with. You will never be taken seriously.

Meconopsis - Great post, dwarfs the detailed analysis most of us retail investors could pull together - It's appreciated

"pay less emphasis to those whose opinions differ or post what you don’t want to hear" - Ditto you chump

"I’m a hugely experienced trader" hahahahahahahahahaha funniest thing I've heard for a while

Any muppet can come on here (and they do) and spout about their foresight and prowess after the fact. Of course there is some risk here until bonds bottom out and the regulators stop trying to justify their existence. But the real numbers don't lie even if the market is irrational

Porch - Earlier this year The Times tipped PHNX saying a high dividend that looks sustainable - I notice you didn't come on here then spouting your bile

Toffee....

"And prediction for tomorrow - more free fall" hahahaha what a chump

Looks like his serial kn0b mate toffee apple has joined him. What sad lives they must lead
