The eventuall sale proceeds from LDCs minority stake in the business should just about cover the cost of the BODs upcoming Christmas shindig.

Unloved and undervalued shares are a common trait in today's ever increasing vast complex network of market equity trading activities, like many companies the current LGEN share price valuation certainly does not accurately reflect the true intrinsic value of the company.

Despite a stable earnings outlook and a progressive chunky dividend yield ( 9% ) LGEN now falls into the slow burner category in terms of share price performance, underperforming the FTSE100 for quite some considerable time now, disappointing to say the least.

Todays 10 -year Treasury Auction also didn't go well who expected debt to be snapped up at current high rates.

Pick of the UK banking bunch........... maybe ?

Forward 2024/25 expected earnings a tad disappointing, better to hold a small amount across several banks within the sector rather than putting all your eggs in one basket.

Rollercoaster week so far for investors market mood and share prices appear to be recovery mode for the time being after the recent overblown market falls in equity prices, traders will have hopefully positioned themselves nicely for a rosy outcome over the next few trading sessions.

Careful now, while recession may not be imminent we can quite easily talk ourselves into recession setting off chain reaction of spooking market confidence sending equity prices plummeting into bear market territory causing households and businesses to rein in spending and investment to save cash.

Having spent over 55years navigating the unexpected twists and turns and up and downsides of financial markets, resilience and keeping an open mind is key to these periodic uncertain times we sometimes find ourselves in and not letting difficult choices or investment decisions defeat you. Good Luck.

The shares along with the rest of the banking sector have had a good run recently, traders now unwinding positions and maximising profits.

Expect a further cut to the NS&I Premium Bond rate ?

The pendulum has swung in favour of the complainant.

Feels like the FCA are now holding a loaded gun to the head of the Black Horse !

Celebration drinks in Wetherspoons and Benidorm tonight, annual winter fuel allowance maintained for a certain section of our community, Rachel Reeves you'd better have another rethink on this one and restore this allowance for all pensioners many who have paid income tax ( and still do ) national insurance contributions all their former working lives.

" back to basics " for our society and economy, British people need to rediscover their true values, Government and business must work closer together to re-wire our broken economy and promote rapid economic growth, failure to do so will leave the UK staring into the abyss.

What's New !

This latest tragic incident in Southport reveals the true extent of the out of control crisis in mental healthcare in the UK.

Reintroduction of the traditional secure mental asylums and more psychiatric hospitals for these people would be a good starting point if the Government of the day really want to stop these incidents from recurring........... enough said on the subject, now back to Lloyds !

Banking sector share price levels appear to have been beating the Insurers hands down for some time now, particularly the LGEN share price performance the shares are trading 18% off their two year highs and on a current dividend yield of 8.77 %, a tad disappointing to say the least.

Will the real Labour Party please step forward ?

New updated figures on national debt and projected future spending levels will make grim reading for both taxpayers and investors !

Popular with women including my wife who has been an avid regular reader of the paper for over fifty years, editorial bias left leaning and a consistent supporter of centre - left politics, also worth mentioning the paper has a fairly high rating for factual reporting and a global perspective.

The FED have already admitted gold is already replacing the US dollar, America's debt pile currently stands at $34 Trillion dollars and is growing by $1Trillion dollars every 100 days......... a real ticking time bomb scenario will soon unfold with very serious implications for the US and World economy !

Fleccy......... fair comment post.

American military and economic might are now in terminal decline and will not be a superpower for much longer.

A new world order is emerging with a very different set of rules from the old ones.

Yes, Russia and OPEC lead by Saudi Arabia are already planning to use the Chinese Yuan for future oil trades.
