You really have to giggle at lloyds SP.
The market is going for value shares and Lloyds would fit the bill,however the UK banks are stuck between either negative interest rates to make borrowing more attractive and savings less or high levels of impairment.

This dip will last longer than predicted and can the government afford to pump more money in without losing the confidence of international money markets.
Plan on rates going negative.

UTL,after all the money they have spent i would think saving on a 2nd dose is fake news.
Boris has told some whoppers,border down the Irish sea/restoring our fishing industry,all their U turns have been caused by lying in the first place .
Democracy requires truth otherwise we might as well have a Chinese command economy.
P.S if all else fails a bit of flag waving does help to hide a lie.

All we need is better government,something you can trust.
They originally said you must come back for the 2nd vaccination within 21 days now they say 3 months.If you tell the truth from the outset and don't treat us like idiots then you'll get their trust.

The rhetoric phase is finally ending and we now face reality.
A few free ports are not going to save the day,Boris needs to fulfill all the promises he has made,not just the easy ones like demolishing(leveling) the country.

Can't see any good news on the horizon now for at least the next 4 weeks - effect on lloyds SP?

Four and a half years of hot air,then when we finally get to the meat and bones 3 minutes each - something has gone wrong here.

What would upset the housing bubble is building 300,000 homes a year or any alteration to CGT.
I did use to think the price was purely a supply shortage but this pandemic stay at home policy has proved there's a lot of empty property.
800,000 EU citizens leaving and also by March 2021 100,000 excess deaths will have an effect.

The maximum certainty we have now is 5 years,never enough time to plan,build and recover your investment if your using UK as an European platform and that's if we don't fall out before then.
Have the ERG been given a guarantee we will fall out?
part 7 "It provides for a review of the agreement between the EU and the UK
every five years. It also provides for the procedure to be followed if a new
country accedes to the EU."

Things have to get better but i think the Telegraph prediction we would still be wearing face masks next Christmas isn't far off the mark,don't get in front of yourselves.

Simple really,we pump money in but the economy doesn't recover,didn't from the financial crisis and not from the referendum result.
The GBP takes a step down every time and we hope,now at €1.10 supposedly against a failed economic bloc which is good if your not invested in Britain.

Even Isabel Knobshott is slightly concerned the United Kingdom will probably break up with this deal,which does prove there are intelligent lifeforms within the brexit ranks.

TFE, not sure that post has any relevance to lloyds SP but if we delayed the vote like the EU has until the end of Feb and provisionally install the agreement from the 1st Jan then that might give Lloyds a boost and us the democratic right to reach MP's with our views,your hero Farage feels it would be a good idea.

Remember back in 2019 when they said 80p and beyond on leaving the EU,then it would reach the target on leaving,does make you laugh.
They are now going to say we have covid as an excuse but if that was the case why has Deutsche bank risen 60% since covid lows in March,PNB Paribas up 70% and Lloyds up 40%.

I still feel the SP is on the optimistic side believing we'll have a deal on the 1st Jan.
Wouldn't the UK side want us to rally around the flag to prove we can survive on WTO and the EU side to prove the advantages of friction less trade and what we lost.
If for nothing else it keeps the masses preoccupied with something which isn't pandemic.

Reported to WHO by UK on the 14th Dec,UK government to people on 19th Dec and French closed borders 23.00 hrs on the 20th.
Danish mink outbreak 12 cases reported to WHO 5th Nov,UK government closed borders with the exception of trucks at 4am on the 7th Nov.Considering our government admitted "we've lost control" of the variant amongst millions of people, i would say Europe has actually been a little slow in tightening restrictions.

We are so close to having a deal i think it makes it more likely we wont have a deal on the 1st Jan - it could be cleared up quickly in 2021.

I think the most disturbing post this weekend was yours on writing debt off in particular this extract taken from the Daily Mail
"He said governments would have to cancel their own debts and that of individuals first, before turning to company loans – or it would be politically taboo."
This would be one of the largest tax payer rip off since compensating the slave traders in the 1830's and commited by a Tory government who is meant to be the friend of tax payers - shame.

We didn't stockpile back in March but the wife wanted to this time.
Anyway the wife came back with loads of tinned pineapple,I pointed out pineapples don't come from the EU,her reply was she had bought them at Lidl - i gave up.

My hunch is the whole crisis has been orchestrated by UK government - RAF were put on standby weeks ago to move if required sensitive pharma.
Should i yawn.
