No idea why the surge but it netted me a nice £6K+ profit for the last months investment.

Sold all of course and will buy back in when it drops to £5.8

Several nice reports from various sources stating how Lloyds are greatly undervalued. The Motely Fool even puts Lloyds value at around 100P.

Topped up with a few more £s to take advantage of their ridiculously low price.

My guess is as soon as Brexit is put to bed (either way) Lloyds will shoot up.

Interesting that with the ex divi date due soon, Lloyds have dipped.

A quick top up before the rush.

Hardly the worst. Gordon Brown and Tony Blair were a complete disaster for this country. Brown had the economic foresight of a village idiot.

TM is only picking up the pieces of Cameron's play at PM. Her biggest weakness (Like Barack Obama) is her inability to make a decision.

Lloyds shares however are a no brainer and over the next year should show a healthy rise and dividend payments.

I have sufficient confidence in them to make them 25% of my portfolio.

Carny should learn to keep his big mouth shut. He has done almost as much damage to the economy as Gordon Brown.

Qwerty59, if only the figures were correct. I have started the day over £6K up on yesterdays ending.

Not sure what they are doing but it does make you smile.

BDEV.....The gift that keeps on giving.

Wrongly posted under Lloy due to computer malfunction by operator (Me).

Maybe someone who is a financial wizard will correct me if I am wrong, but BDEV are paying out a regular and special divi 16/19 November 2018 which is forecast at around 34.5P. (17.2 and 17.3)

That's a £2K payout for me. Thank you very much BDEV.

Or my information could be wrong.

MM.

You should stick to comments on stocks and shares and not on something you know nothing about. You do not know me or my background. FYI. I come from a long line who have served and done their bit for the country. I have lost uncles and a grandfather in the two world wars and myself have seen 3 tours of NI and then the Falklands so I have done my bit which is probably more than most.

Nationalisation and the unionisation will be the death knell for British industry. This is not the forum to talk about politics and if you feel the need, DigitalSpy is the place.

For me, it is all about making my final years comfortable with good investments and dividends.

My interests on this forum are pointers on NG, not some half baked ideas on nationalisation and privatisation.

My average buy price is 945 so I guess I will be holding for a long while yet......

Gino.

Just checking your posts.

I see you are another that has almost nothing to post about Lloyds but plenty to say on any other subject. Try DigitalSpy and leave a share forum for those who are interested in Lloyds. Gino now on filter.

Gino.So it's OK to post about subjects that have nothing to do with Lloyds but to raise the subject of filtering them out is not....Funny world you live in. Oh well, another one for the filter. But to explain for you..........

Sick to death of trying to read news about Lloyds only to find that I have to scroll through several pages to get past posts that have nothing to do with Lloyds. These people should stick to DigitalSpy.

I was advised to filter members who had no interest in Lloyds and as the Mods won't delete these useless posts there is no other option.

Good to see that others also have to filter so it makes sense to find out that I am not the only one who has issues with these children.

And on the Lloyds subject.....Just waiting for the next dividend.

Unlike many here who claim to have bought in at rock bottom prices, I bought in at an average of 4,892 so I am stuck until the end of the year when I expect them to return to this figure. Then it's sell.

Whatever made me choose Pharma stock? Oh yes, it seemed a good idea at the time.

NG are a good, safe long term bet. revenues from multiple countries and a good financial book.

Corbyn would be the death knell for the UK. Nationalisation would result in Marxist union policies (max pay for least work and emphasise on creating superfluous jobs). An admitted run on the pound would cause profits to nose dive and we would end up like Venezuela which of course is his aim.

Remotest sign of Corbyn looking like next PM and I sell my utility stocks.

Caitlin1, not sure where you get the 10% down from as oil prices have been almost level over the last month.

Brent crude down 1.56% and WTI level.

Driving round the countryside in Yorkshire, all I can see is house building on a massive scale. Barratts are well represented and I have every faith in them as a sure bet.

I ditched my holdings in Persimmon and Berkeley Homes after reading the reports on the management issues as well as taking a very healthy profit over the last 2 years.

Slowly but surely Barratts share price will increase and then it's just a case of an exit strategy.

I find the problem is picking shares that will respond well to a hard Brexit. It means being a little bit narrow in the choice but over the last year or so I have whittled my portfolio down from 12 companies to just 5. I am concentrating on companies that have solid financial backing and pay good dividends. 2 have dollar revenues so the current exchange rate helps.Over the year I am only 1.3% up on stock value but have received just short of £5K in dividends from my £91K holding.

Not a giant of investors but I am well ahead of anything the banks can offer for savers. Don't need to touch the money so it's the long term approach and I like Lloyds and see them as a safe bet regardless of the Brexit outcome.
