jayfax first saw them 26 years ago at Glastonbury, been a fan ever since, like you say it will be an emotional and atmospheric night. Lets hope the weather holds.

More importantly enhanced performance metrics ! Return on Equity ( ROE ) & Earnings per Share ( EPS ) .

There is ' no spark of genious ' from this bank, it is blindingly obvious a no deal Brexit would result in UK focused bank share prices revisting levels not seen since the immediate aftermath of the 2016 Referendum Vote.

Lloyds and UBS are now ' pulling out all the stops ' in trying to prevent the share price falling below the all important 60p mark, almost £52 million spent on buybacks in the last two trading sessions at this rate of buybacks the current share buyback programme could be completed by the end of August or the first week in September as i previously envisaged.

Barclays are powerless to do anything about the external political and financial events that are increasingly bearing down on the share prices of UK banks. With more volatility and uncertainty waiting over the horizon investors will simply have to sit tight and ride out the Brexit storm.

Chancer100 . There will be no winners if the UK is turned into a bargain basement economy.

Impossible to measure the true rate of unemployment, successive governments have moved the goal posts and manipulated the figures so many times over the last thirty years, and now masks the real picture of hidden unemployment and the depressing new reality of the Gig economy.

Until Brexit uncertainty is removed downward pressure on the share price will persist, 50s now look inevitable. Surely Lloyds and UBS should have foreseen this scenario unfolding and waited till the end of 2018 to to launch the share buy back programme.

US sanctions against Iran means its a win - win situation for the American shale oil and gas fracking industry. and will undoubtedly transform the global energy markets in the not to distant future.

guingette we are now approaching a tipping point in the Brexit negotiations, until a satisfactory outcome is reached downward pressure on the share prices of UK focused banks will continue. Patience, discipline and above all timing is crucial when trading stocks during uncertain times.

Enterprise value is the key measure of a company's total value rather than market capitalization.

SUFCESSEX UK focused banks are cheap for a reason. Lloyds do look cheap, but RBS and Barclays look even cheaper and are more of an attractive potential takeover target than Lloyds.

mick Buffoon maybe, but at least he does not mince his words and pander to the self - entitled snowflake generation who are all too ready to cry " Victim " at the first hint of a situation they do not like.

A long term share price target of 100p is totally unrealistic, a 67p medium term share price target would be more realistic, however with the current share buy back cupboard starting to look a little bare and at present no indication from the BOD that extra funds are forthcoming to supplement the current sharebuyback programme to counteract the impending fallout from Brexit, the share price will struggle to keep its head above the 60p mark in the short term.

Wellcome back PAKKA until there are future tentative signs that earnings and profits are beginning to flatline, its business as usual for the CEO at the bank.

Jess Staley doing all what he can given the challenges and difficulties facing the European Investment Banking Sector. On the UK domestic front Barclays like Centrica and BT are now operating within one of the most highly regulated and stringent financial environments in the world.

Despite positive robust underlying earnings, confidence in the UK banking sector continues to drop. Until banks are on a proven sustainable earnings outlook and more transparency and openness in financial reporting is displayed by the banks, nothing will the convince the markets and investors that the UK banking sector is worth investing in.

The Lloyds board is not the approppriate place for commenting on marxism and Jewry.

All eyes will be on the banking sector this week with further PPI provisions and rising loan impairments set to take centre stage again, the anticipated quarter point rise in interest rates ( and it's a big if ) will come as very much welcome relief for the banks.

To many investors become emotionally attached to a particular share and their own perception and idea of what is a good investment strategy. Averaging down and dividend re- investment only work if the stock's long-term financial future is sound, in reality there are good reasons for a share price drop.
